Monetize your Nitrado Server with Tebex – Introduction

Owning your own server is a remarkable feeling. You can explore the worlds of various games like Minecraft, ARK: SE, Valheim, and dozens more with friends and other players. As you play and run larger servers and more servers in general, this can become costly, however, there is a way to make money while running your server. This can be done through an addon called Tebex.

Tebex is a service that helps you monetize your server with a webstore. This store can then offer sales of digital game goods such as in-game items, ranks, and much more. With these incentives, you can really draw players in for excitement and fun all while they support your server. In this guide, you will learn how to integrate Tebex on your Minecraft server to begin earning while playing!

Important note; Tebex is only available in some Minecraft versions.

Using Tebex on your Server – Benefits

There are many benefits to using Tebex on your server, with making money being the main one. Other kinds include having a dedicated website and area for your players to use, along with other features to help connect your community together. Our automated system only supports Tebex for Minecraft but may become available on other games in the future.

Once you’ve connected this software to the server, you can begin creating your webstore and packages to sell. Keep in mind that you’re also given the ability to make many pages, add sidebars, integrate a Discord server, and add other features to the website. If you have a custom domain, then you can implement that too so everything is personalized for your community. This also makes your Minecraft server more professional, as you can have in-game information, tutorials, or anything else on the website. In other words, Tebex offers you a chance to monetize and enhance your community with almost endless possibilities.

How to Implement and Use Tebex

Before you can use Tebex on your Minecraft server, you need to perform a few simple steps. Of course, you need a Nitrado account and your own Minecraft server. If you don’t have an account, you can create one for free here on the homepage and then rent a server. Then you need to register with Tebex to be able to create and sell a webstore and packages. Once you have a Tebex account, you can take care of the integration on your server through our web interface. The next sections will guide you through the process.

Activating Tebex in Your Nitrado Webinterface

1. Head to your Nitrado game server webinterface.
2. On your server webinterface, to the left at the bottom, press “MONETIZATION”.
   
3. On the next page, you can activate Tebex by pressing the “Install Tebex” option.
   
4. From there, you’ll now get an email to setup your Tebex account. Open this email and press the “Setup Account” button.
   
5. Afterward, you can now setup a password on the Tebex website.

Creating and Customizing Your Webstore

There is a lot to do in your Tebex webstore. You can create new pages for community policies, create custom sidebars for server targets, and create items that you can then sell. All of these features can be found on your Tebex Dashboard, which admittedly can be confusing at first. To make your life easier, we’ve written several guides to help you get up and running with Tebex right away.

Creating Store Items

Before you dive headfirst into creating packages that you can sell in your webstore, you should familiarize yourself with the basics. This includes creating and customizing items and writing a suitable description for the item. You can also specify how often the item can be bought and which category it belongs to. This will make it easier for your players to find what they are looking for. The following table and the next sections will guide you through this process.

How to Create Categories

1. Start on your dashboard and click on Packages in the upper left corner.
   
2. Then click Add New and select the Category option.
   
3. Now you need to add a name and a description to this category.
   
4. When you are done, click the Create button and save your changes.
   
5. If everything worked, you will now see the message “Category successfully created”.

Building a Package

1. Go to your dashboard again and click on Packages on the left side.
2. Under your empty category, press Create One to create an item.
   
3. Again, give the package a name and a description.

Creating New Pages in Tebex

If you are thinking of creating new pages for your players to visit, stay tuned. Here you will get the opportunity to set game rules, promote your Discord servers and much more. Don’t forget that Tebex doesn’t only give you opportunities to sell stuff, but it’s also there for you to create a whole homepage for your community. Therefore, we recommend that you create a few pages to give your store a personal touch.

1. Start again on your Dashboard, click on Webstore and after, press Pages.

In the Pages section, you can also customize the Homepage of your webstore. You can do this by pressing Edit at the top. This will open an editor. When you are done, press Update. Check your changes again afterward. Remember that it may take a few minutes for the changes to become visible.

How to Create Custom Sidebars

Another way to display content on your website are sidebars. These are very visible in your webstore and are therefore a good place to display various packages, links, or Discord servers. Here’s how to create your own sidebar:

1. Again, go to the Dashboard, click on Webstore, and then select Sidebar.
   
2. Then click Add Module to Sidebar.
   
3. Find a suitable module and click Create to get started.
   
4. Enter the content you want here and click Create. Note: Each module is unique and offers you different fields and options.
5. Once everything has worked, you will see the message “Module successfully created”.

More Customizations

Apart from the features already mentioned, Tebex offers many more that you can test. These include website themes, Discord integration, offers, or even banning a buyer. These features are relatively easy to use and can be accessed from the dashboard. If you click on “Discord”, for example, you can integrate the Tebex bot on your server. This can then, if you have set it up that way, assign roles to your players on the Discord server. Some features may need some preparation. We encourage you to contact Tebex support if you have any questions.

Withdrawing Money from Tebex

Once you have sold some of your items, you can withdraw the money from Tebex and transfer it to your bank account or PayPal account. This is important because you want to make money with Tebex after all. Fortunately, this process is relatively simple and the following steps will show you how.

6. Press Request Withdraw when you are done.
7. After a short time you should receive an email regarding the payout.

Common Tebex Issues & Questions

Unable to Use Tebex on My Server

Packages Don’t Work

If you have created packages and they do not work, you should start by checking the variables. The {username} variable is there to determine the name of the player. You can find these variables in the appropriate list while creating or editing a package. Especially if you also use mods on your server, it is important to make sure that there are no misspellings in the variables. Also, be sure to check that you have set the visibility of your items correctly and that the package is properly connected to your server.

Money Wasn’t Withdrawn

If you have made your first sales and want to debit the money now, it may take a few days. It depends on whether the payments are already booked or not. It can take 3-30 days for the money to arrive in your account. Therefore, you should not worry immediately. Of course, to be on the safe side, you should check if everything is correct with your withdrawal method, such as your bank details or your Paypal account. If you have any problems, you should contact Tebex support.
