[ADMN/WEB] [BukkitDev] Buycraft -The most advanced Donation Plugin.

Discussion in 'Archived: Plugin Releases' started by lmc, Aug 16, 2011.

  1. [​IMG]
    Over 100,000 servers have used Buycraft over the last 2 years.
    What is Buycraft, and why does my Minecraft server need it?
    Buycraft enables you to sell in game items/memberships to your community, allowing yourself to fund your server bills to keep your Minecraft server alive. Buycraft is basically an online shopping cart system for your own server!​
    How will my players use Buycraft?
    After you have created a Buycraft account, you are given an online webstore which you can use to promote your items for sale. Your players will visit this website and be able to purchase the items that they want, be it a collection of armour, or a monthly VIP membership.​
    What can I sell to my users, and how?
    Buycraft enables you to sell ANYTHING to your users, from a collection of armour upgrades, to monthly VIP memberships. When a player purchases a product, it is automatically processed on your Minecraft server, and removes all hassle of managing payments by yourself. All these different options will take the worry out of funding your Minecraft server.​
    Some of the awesome features available:
    • Create donation packages which can reward your players with anything you imagine.
    • Setup advanced packages for memberships ranks, with support for automatic Paypal subscriptions.
    • Many Payment gateways supported! (Paypal, Stripe, Google Wallet, Paymentwall, 2Checkout, Onebip, Paygol, Payza, and Coinbase.)
    • Coupon codes to offer discounts to your players.
    • Run promotional sales to gain attention to certain donation packages.
    • Cumulative ranking to enable your players to upgrade their ranks.
    • Custom variables to offer advanced customisation of your packages.
    • Detailed donation statistics to see how well your server is performing.
    • Multiple webstores per account, with the ability to create sub accounts for your other moderators/administrators on your server.
    • Advanced fraud protection to prevent chargebacks.
    • Webstores available in over 8 languages.
    • You can change your webstore theme and even integrate it into your own website.
    • Everything is hosted by us, resulting in a hassle free and inexpensive way to run your own webstore! The Buycraft platform is updated regularly with many new features added each month.

    A user just made a payment and is not listed in "Payments". He hasn't received their package. Payment has been made ​​by PayPal and he sent me the payment number. The payment is true.

    Any ideas?
     
  3. Have you correctly setup the paypal IPN notification link? Has the IPN message been successfully sent?

    The payment get received in PayPal account now, but dont appear in the Server Panel. I have configured without the dot...

    EDIT:
    The notification appears to have been sent. In the PayPal History appear:

    Message ID: 6P180682E05*********
    Notification URL: http://buycraft.net/ipn/call/package

    BTW, can the Manual Payments be included in Recent Donators list?

    Who's smart, I am. Haha, well I believe that was the problem if not I will need to go back to the drawing board and seeing other ways to fix this. If it does go down we have a cron running to fix the problem before it happens.

    Yes I like quoting what I have done.
     
  10. I had issues with the cron so I'm going to keep an eye on it until tomorrow.

    None of that comment was directed at you lmc. I was responding to your partners excuse that it was "to hard to host ourselves" due to it having "600 files".

    That being said there are many many people asking for this to run locally in some fashion. I think its about time you addressed that.

    And yes I am happy that buycraft is around, it certainly has made taking donations easier.But My server has been around and making money a lot longer than this plugin has been around. But I wouldnt be in here offering criticism if I didnt care about it working better.

    I know that he will not since I talked to him with this as well, now really I just said 600 files to stop you guys from asking and not sure where the to "hard to host" part came from. Also I am not his partner. I work for him as support and yes what I said above to you is support.

    Sorry I was paraphrasing.


    But like I said before, if you guys keep ignoring what people are asking for (and its not just me), along with the headaches of running this service you will burn out faster than you think. Im not trying to bash you guys at all,
    but this is setting itself up for failure. Go talk to the McBans guys if you want an example of what happens when you run a remote service for a minecraft server.

    @lmc I think you may have a bit of sunk cost fallacy going on here, There are a ton of ppl that will pay you good money for a stand alone version of this plugin, myself included.

    A lot of suggestions are accepted and some are not because:
    1. Poor suggestion
    2. Can't do that because it will wreck the system and/or could not be updated
    3. Will break copyright laws if you say you made it, removed any traces from the original owner and can be easily re-sold.
     
  15. I am seriously taking a standalone system into request for premium members, if it be simpler and no support offered for it. Don't quote me on that though. Also mcbans has over 1000 servers running. I'd say that was good :p

    Like I said man Im on your team 100%, Im not trying to bash you at all. I understand that technology screws up occasionally, But we work to reduce the impact of them.

    I think what most people are asking for is the ability to wrap whatever CSS they want on the site and a failure mode that consists of something more than "site wont load", I would like to be able to put an ssl cert on the page. The benefits to you are enormous, More money, less load... slightly more work :(

    Purchased premium, but like others I would very much like to just integrate the scripts into my site versus using your hosting, etc. I just like to keep everything inside my own systems if possible, no offense.

    I obviously love the plugin and believe the Premium is well worth it.

    Hi lmc ,
    is it possible that players can buy "Locations"?
    Like: /buy 2 for: "region addowner 'Pirateninsel' {name}" ?
    The Plugin that I use is "WorldGuard"

    If it possible, can you make this possible:
    --> Player buys "Package 2 (/buy 2)" --> "Package 2" will removed from the Store

    Alright server is over loading, the problem isn't fixed. Time to do this from another approach, also disable/remove Buycraft again.

    Edit: Alright its fixed. It shouldn't crash.

    Yeah having some issues, I have people in game who are still waiting for packages to come through after a few hours of waiting.

    ChrisX930

    what do you think, is it possible?
     
  25. Your first question will work fine.

    Your second question is a good idea, but I cannot see why a player would purchase the same thing twice if he already has it

    the problem is: player1 buys a location (for example: Pirateninsel). But player2 can buy it, too.
    I think its a good idea when one player had bought this location, that no other player can buy it
    (sorry, my english isn't the best^^')

    Basically how many packages are left. Or you can call it limited number of packages.
     
  28. Ah I see what you mean now.

    Its not the fact that it wouldnt be possible to add, however it is a very time consuming thing to do. I could make an option when creating the packages that it can only purchased once, that would make sense.

    Tonight I have also decided that I will be creating the bukkit plugin from scratch. To improve error handling and issues with other things. Also languages will now be supported.

  29. @lmc in my opinion i think all you need to add it a timeout setting and work on the website version as most thing people are wanting (besides buycraft on their server) is based on the web such as package desc/ordering etc

    but thats my 2 cents

    I hope you can make it possible :)
    I think you can add a option like this
