Sell Ranks & Items For Your Minecraft Server Using CraftingStore (Tutorial)

In today’s video I’m gonna show you how to set up a store which you can use to sell things like for example ranks and crate keys for your Minecraft server so somewhere along your Minecraft server Journey you might start to notice that hosting a Minecraft server can be quite

Expensive So eventually when you get a lot of players on your server it might be a very good idea to start monetizing it now you can do this by for example selling ranks so today I will be showing you how to use a service called crafting store to sell things like for example

Ranks and crate keys and monetize your Minecraft server before we start though do make sure to subscribe to my channel you would really help you I’ll be doing that you actually would we’re getting so close to the 30k and I’m sure we can hit it so just press that subscribe button

It would help out a lot it actually would I will love you forever now the reason we will be using crafting store instead of its competitor tabx is because from my experience the crafting store offers more features for free so just to be clear crafting store and cbx

Both have premium plans but the last time I checked tebeck starts charging money earlier down the line if you want to use stepx instead though then you totally can the tutorial will be pretty much unchanged it might all look a little different but most buttons and

Features will be the same so the first thing we want to do is create an account here the link to the crafting store website can of course be found in the description simply click on there and after that we’re gonna click on create free accounts then over here you got to

Fill in your name your email your password and then you need to confirm your passwords and after doing that you’re simply gonna click on sign up now after creating an account you will get to this screen the first thing we have to do is select the game that we want to

Monetize in our case there will be Minecraft Java Edition but let’s say you want to monetize Bedrock or you want to monetize a Discord server or Gary’s Mod or whatever then that is also totally possible I’m a Minecraft Youtuber though we’re playing Minecraft here so we will

Be going for Minecraft Java and then we’re gonna give it a name so this could for example be the name of your Minecraft server in my case I’m gonna call it car size epic Mega cool server yeah and then we’re simply gonna click on create store there it is you can see

The store name the game then the rank this is not your Minecraft server rank this just indicates that I’m the owner of this store and then here we have the plan the plan is bronze now when we click on plans here at the top you will be able to select different plans now

This is the bronze one and the bronze one is free you will get a ton of stuff with this free subscription actually so you will get no advertisements and limited payments and limited packets unlimited servers too also 250 payments can be resent you got coupon codes all

That cool stuff a free sub domain so there’s a lot of stuff here but not everything the silver plan will have some other cool features the gold plan will have even more cool features and the Platinum plan will have would yet again other cool features now if you’re

Just getting started I would highly recommend just going for the bronze one though if your Minecraft server is getting serious and you’re actually starting to earn some serious money I would highly recommend going for one of these options now also at the top of the

Page we got no domain set click to set okay so we’re gonna click on there and over here we can make a choice between a free subdomain or a custom domain now I am pretty sure that’s the custom domain is something we have to pay for so we

Will be going for the free subdomain we’re simply going to click on configure and after that we’re gonna type in the name of our server I have no clue what I called the server before so it’s just gonna be kasai’s epic store LOL yeah that’s the perfect name claim domain

There we go it’s ours we did it okay so after doing that we can click on view store and this will actually open a new window that will show your current store you can see it’s horribly empty so we’re gonna start adding some stuff when you

Go to your dashboard you will see all your important information now it wants me to confirm my email you should probably do that I’m gonna skip that for now but over here it will say would you like to use our Wizards to get started now I would actually highly recommend

Using this option as it makes the whole process a lot easier so we’re just gonna click on sure let’s do it so now that we’ve created a store we need to create a server so one store can actually house multiple servers so over here we first

Need to give the name of our server uh I’m gonna type suracraft here which in case you didn’t know is my public Minecraft SMP but over here we’re gonna choose for Minecraft plugin then we’re gonna click on create server and there we go now because of that set of wizards

We’re immediately going to the next page so now we’re setting up a category by the way here on the left side you can also see where this stuff is actually located so in their web store you got categories which is where we’re currently in just a minute ago we were

In the servers tab so nowadays we’re in the categories we’re gonna create a new category so what do they mean by that well let’s say you want to sell multiple ranks on your Minecraft server then a category you want to create is ranks then you can give it a small description

So I’m just gonna type over here you can buy ranks from me please buy ranks smiley face there we go beautiful this is great this is gonna be a great store guys I’m Gonna Get Rich then we got enabled should it be enabled yes or no if you’re still working on your ranks

Then you might just want this whole category to not show on your website yet and eventually when everything is done you want to enable it then The View mode should be a great view or a list view that’s just totally up to personal preference I’m gonna go for grids now

The next option is does this category have a cumulative package now you might be like SSRI I have no clue what that means well if you don’t know you can simply click here but a commutative package basically means that you can get a discount if you’ve already bought

Another package earlier so you guys rank a b and c this one is 10 this one is 20 and this one is 30 USD but then if you already bought rank a then you basically already covered one third of the cost for rank C so when you eventually want

To buy rank C you only have to pay the remaining 20 USD got to say that’s a really cool feature now if you want that you can also use this option shoot commutative category respect sales and shoot commutative still show Bots packages you don’t have to touch them if

You don’t enable this in the first place and then should this category have a parent category so shoot this category fall under another category for example in your ranks category there will be something like Skyblock ranks and then SMP ranks then you can make sure that

The s p ranks and the SkyBlock ranks both fall under the ranks category it’s pretty straight forward I think you get it I’m just gonna click on Create and there we go then we’re immediately being forwarded to the packages so right now we’re gonna create a package and the

Package is basically an item that you want to sell inside of your store so over here we’re gonna fill in the name and I’m gonna call it VIP then you got to give it a description uh this is my VIP rank you will get nothing extra please buy

Yeah this is gonna be a massive hit guys this is gonna be a great store then should this package be enabled of course and then here should the user be allowed to pay what they want We’re not gonna do that though for this rank I will be

Charging 6.99 there we go then over here you can also upload a package icon so if you got a very cool VIP logo for example then you can upload that one here then when we go to the advanced tab you got more settings a lot more settings so

It’s our Global limit per user limits package requirements so shoot people already own another package before they can purchase this one just a lot of settings then we got commands so this is the commands that the console will execute as soon as the player purchases something from the store so this is a

VIP rank meaning that upon purchasing these packet the player that purchased it should be set to VIP rank in my Minecraft server so your console needs to execute a command to set that particular player to VIP so if you’re using luck worms that will be something

Like LP user then we’re gonna copy this placeholder so this is the player placeholder that you will need to use and this will be replaced with the username of the person purchasing this packet so LP user player parent set and then VIP if you’re using look perms it

Should be something like this then over here we got the option initial so we have initial expiry renewal or charge back so initial means upon purchasing meaning that this command will execute as soon as the player purchases this packet now when should it be executed directly or as soon as the player is

Online there might be some plugins that require the player to be online for the commands to actually work successfully look worms is not one of them so we can just use execute directly and then we’re gonna add another command you might be wondering why well let’s say the person

Who purchased this wants a chargeback they want their money back they don’t like the rank or it was accidental so they’re doing a chargeback what will happen when they do a chargeback well we no longer got the money so they no longer got the VIP rank that’s how it

Works so I’m simply gonna copy this command paste it in here and then we’re gonna set them back to default there we go that’s it now you can also add one for expiry or renewal so let’s say you want players to pay every single month for a VIP rank then that is also

Something that you can do I won’t be doing that though so we’re just gonna click on create my packets and there we go now we’re not done because this store where we’re making this store it’s going great but we’ve still not linked this store to our Minecraft server so how do

You want to do that well in their web store we’re gonna click on servers and over here all the way at the top we got the option downloads Minecraft plugin when we click on there the plugin will immediately download then simply go to your Minecraft server folder then to

Your plugins folder and over here we’re simply gonna drag the crafting store Dot are in size then after restarting your Minecraft server you want to go to your server console and over here we want to execute a simple command to link our store to our Minecraft server so the way

We’re gonna do that is first go back to crafting store and over here we got the option review token and there we go this is my token I’m gonna copy this token so just Ctrl a Ctrl C then we’re going back to our Minecraft server console and over

Here we’re gonna type rafting store Key and then we’re gonna paste in that key we just copied and there we go new API key has been set in the config and the plugin has been reloaded and that’s it now our Minecraft server is linked to our crafting store also by the way when

We now click on view store you can see that our store is still really really boring when we go to ranks though you can see that the VIP rank is now here then when we click on view more you will see some information which is all pretty

Epic and then we can just click on buy now we would have to fill in our own Minecraft username and after that just all your billing information and then you’re done you’ve purchased it now when under Web Store you go to Pages you will also be able to customize your pages so

You got your home page terms of service privacy policy and the impressive now if you don’t know what all of these things are then I would highly recommend doing some research about them by making a crafting store you’re essentially selling a product and there are quite a

Few rules you actually need to follow when you want to sell a product so you will need the terms of service privacy policy all of that stuff make sure to do your research but over here when you click on edit for example on the home page we can simply edit our home page

Here so I can just put some beautiful text there we go that is a great homepage update my site is becoming better and better now when we go to settings and then webshop you will be able to change your shop name also your currency though

It depends a little bit on where you are in the world I’m in Europe so for me I would like to change this to Euro now before ending this video there are two more things I want to show first of all when you go to payments and after that

To gateways which is basically the payment methods so if you want people to pay through for example PayPal then you can set that up here and then last but not least the design so over here you will be able to change what your store actually looks like you can change the

Background URL the logo URL and the favorite icon now over here you will be able to change the color of your store so when I go for example for Yeti and then do update design you can see that the design here is a little different than before so this bar here looks a

Little different and this thing here looks different so this is the yeti design but now I’ve just just updated it too Darkly and when we now reload you can see it changes only a little though now there are also templates but when we click on there you have to pay this goes

For quite a lot of features crafting store is of course a company they need to earn to so for a lot of features that for example make your website look cooler you will actually need to pay though if you just want to make a basic

Simple store and you want to sell a few ranks and maybe a crate key here and there then this surface is absolutely perfect so when in game I now execute the command slash buy a crafting store menu will open so over here it will say

Shop you will also have a chest it is just called chest because I didn’t configure this correctly but you could for example have it say ranks over here and then when you click on there you will see the different ranks that people can purchase in this case it only has

VIP but you can add a whole ton more here anyways guys that is gonna be everything for today I really really hope you enjoyed watching this video if you did make sure to subscribe to my channel you would really help me out with doing that you actually would we’re
