Game server: Tebex monetization setup
This guide was created with the following products:
(Details may vary with products from different providers but the main concepts remain the same)
Introduction
Tebex is a platform which allows you to monetize your Gameserver and make real money from in-game items, ranks and much more. The platform provides you with a professional webstore where you can sell goods and view how your store is doing. Visit tebex.io for more information on how it works.
Supported games
The following games that we also offer for our own gameserver product are supported by Tebex. For more information and other available games, we recommend having a look at the official website.
Connecting Tebex
Setting up Tebex with ZAP is very simple. The installation and configuration requires only a few steps, which are explained in more detail below.
Select supported game
Choose a game which is supported by Tebex and add it to 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.
Request 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.
Install the Tebex plugin
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.
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.
Verify connection with Tebex
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 to your Tebex store. You can then see that the connection was successfull:
Conclusion
You have successfully connected Tebex with your game server service. For further questions or assistance, please don't hesitate to contact our support team, which is available daily to assist you! 🙂
