Managing donation preferences for a BisectHosting server is a great way to customize the experience. By adjusting the preferences, users can receive email notifications whenever a player donates, require Discord usernames, or set personalized messages when a player sends a donation. By managing donation preferences, server owners can help ensure players feel appreciated for their contributions.
Note: Donations are received as Account Credits, which can be used to pay for server renewal costs. Donations cannot be cashed out.
Account credits are automatically applied to newly generated invoices and can be applied manually to any existing invoices on the account.
1. Log in to the BisectHosting Starbase panel.
2. Go to the Donations tab.
3. From the Donations table, toggle on the donations.
4. Review the Terms of Service Agreement and choose I Accept.
Note: By accepting the Terms of Service, the user acknowledges that all transactions are final. There are no refunds available for donations to servers.
5. Navigate to the Preferences section.
6. Input the desired Server Display Name and Server Description.
7. Currency is set upon account creation and cannot be changed. Donations in other currencies will not be accepted.
8. In the URL Slug field, enter the desired custom slug. The server ID will still be displayed at the end of the link and is no security concern.
9. From the In-Game Confirmation Message dropdown, select the desired message. The message is used for specific games, such as Minecraft, to display a message in-game when a player donates.
10. From the Miscellaneous section, toggle on any desired settings.
