How is Tebex configured with the ZAP Interface?
Setting up Tebex with ZAP 2.5 is simple.
Step 1 - Install a supported Game onto your Gameserver
Pick a game which is currently supported by Tebex and install it onto your game server. Click on your game server and choose "Games" in the sidebar. Choose a supported game under "Available Games" and choose the download button to install it. As soon as this is done, proceed to step 2.
Step 2 - Send yourself a Tebex invite
If the game you chose supports Tebex you will see a tab called "Tebex Shop" in the sidebar. Click on the image that appears upon loading the page.
Tebex will now sent an invite to the email address linked to your ZAP-Hosting customer account. Please follow the instructions within the email to activate your Tebex account. You will be guided through the basic configuration of your shop.
Step 3 - Install the Tebex plugin onto your game server
This process is normally automated. If we have no plugin for an automatic setup present on our servers or if we are missing the pingback of Tebex you will have to perform a manual setup.
Step 4 - Install & configure the Tebex plugin
Install the appropriate game server plugin for your game manually. The setup process differs from game to game. Basic instructions on how to install the plugins can be found here.
Step 5 - Confirm the successful installation with us
Finally you will have to confirm that you installed the game server plugin successfully.
In some cases you may be required to enter your Tebex webstore plugin api key to establish the connection from ZAP 2.5 to your Tebex store.
You can then see that the connection was successfull:
