Discord Bot

​

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.

​

Role Syncing

The Discord Bot automatically parses the Discord Server for existing roles and syncs them with the MineStoreCMS.

When a user makes a purchase on your webstore, the Discord Bot assigns the corresponding role to the user on your Discord server. This allows you to manage roles and permissions for users based on their purchases.

Package Setup

You can configure which packages should be assigned to which Discord roles in the Packages section of the Admin Panel.

Bot Debugging

If you encounter any issues, you can manually run it by using the following command:

cd /var/www/minestore
php artisan discord:run
