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, users can ensure players feel appropriately appreciated for donating to help with server upkeep.
Note: Donations are received as Account Credits, which can only be used to pay for server renewal costs. Donations cannot be cashed out in any other way.
Note: Account credits from donations must be obtained 7 days before the billing date, before receiving an invoice, to be available for use.
