Introduction

This is a relatively new feature that allows you to sync your Discord server with your webstore to manage roles and members. By setting up the Discord Bot, you can automatically assign roles to users based on their purchases.

This bot is in-built with the MineStoreCMS and can be enabled in the Discord Settings section. You can configure the bot to sync roles and manage permissions for your Discord server. This bot is written on the Laravel (PHP) and uses the Discord API to interact with your Discord server.

MineStoreCMS supports Discord Bot feature since version 3.2.5. You need also have a compatible components of the template (default theme includes it by default).
