Shop and economy

Currency and wallets

Open the economy settings in the Center and turn on the Economy system. Then set:

• Currency name: Coins, Credits, Gold, anything that fits your world.
• Starting cash: the balance a player gets when they register.
• Optional rules for player trading, gifting limits and a tax rate.

Each registered player has a wallet on your server. Players register from the Portal: they enter their exact character name, receive a code and type !register <code> in game chat. Their wallet then follows them on the Portal and in game.

Paychecks and rewards

Paychecks pay a fixed amount to every online player at a regular interval, with a minimum of 5 minutes between paychecks. They reward time spent on your server.

Reward rules add points for player kills and, on Rust with Carbon, for crafting. You can cap them per day and per week.

Categories and products

Build your shop from categories and products. Each product has a price in your currency and the game items or commands it delivers. The item picker shows the game items with their icons, so you do not need to know internal IDs.

How players buy

• On the Portal: players open your server's Shop page, pick a product and buy it with their wallet.
• In game: every product shows its chat command, for example !buy 12. Typing it in chat buys and delivers the item.
• Rust: the companion plugin adds a /shop window inside the game.

You decide what happens when a player is offline at purchase time: deliver on their next login, deliver when they type !claim, or require the player to be in game.

Packs (offers)

Packs, called Offers in the Center, are reward bundles players buy and claim in game. A pack can be paid with PayPal, with in-game currency, or both. You choose when it can be claimed (instantly, after the wipe starts, after some playtime or at a given level) and how many times per player.

• Permanent: paid once, the player claims it again on every wipe.
• Per wipe: tied to the current wipe, the player buys it again each new wipe.

Gifting

Players can gift a premium membership, a pack with a money price, or a donation package to a friend, paid with PayPal from the Portal. The recipient must be registered on your server with a Servitium account.
