Hi, thanks for the review! I'd like to comment on the custom gateway feature;

The custom gateway feature is an advanced feature that is only meant to be used by experienced developers. It is a way to create a technical bridge between CraftingStore and your own implementation of a specific payment method. Our documentation describes what endpoints we will call and with what payloads, and how signatures should be checked.

Implementing payment methods where money and user data is processed should not be done when you are not sure about what you are doing (e.g. with limited coding knowledge) as not validating things correctly can lead to data leaks.

Giving copy & paste examples would allow someone that does not know what they are doing to possible create an insecure integration. We decided to only explain the technical side and give basic information that will be sufficient for experienced developers.

So even though this might sound rude; You have to contact an experienced developer for implementing a custom payment gateway.

hi, I do not think that this review is fair and correct.

The basic features (and a lot more) are definitely free; Unlimited servers, packages, payments, coupons, discord integration, global commands, Using your own domain, and the list goes on.

Premium plans are only required for specific features that bigger servers might want; Custom styling, Subscriptions, Gift-cards, Branding removal, Variables, Timed packages, etc. but not for the basics.

We process hundreds of thousands of dollars in payments on free stores every month, and offer guides, discord and ticket support for setting up servers and we support a wide range of server software, from Spigot to Velocity.

Feel free to reach out to us on our Discord server or through our support ticket if you have a specific question or require help with setting up your server. When we're online we generally reply within a few minutes.

Thanks.

You can disable name validation ([ Settings -> Webshop ]). Then those "bedrock names" will work.

Thanks for your review! Could you open a support ticket on our dashboard? I have no experience with it, but we may be able to see what is possible if I know what is required to make it work.

Hi,

Thanks for the review! PayPal seems to have changed how they handle payments; https://help.craftingstore.net/books/general/page/why-are-my-paypal-payments-on-hold

If you follow the steps, then the hold should go away. And you'll get your money within 21 days. You can also ask the buyer to confirm with PayPal that they received the in-game items, so the process will go faster.

-Tim

This feature has since been implemented into the platform.

Old Reply:
This is indeed not a feature that we offer, but there is no need to leave a one-star review just because we do not have a feature.

P.S. Read the last line on our description next time, thanks! :)

Thanks for your review!

You need the Silver plan or higher if you want us to issue SSL/TLS certificates for your store on your own domain. If you use our domain (yourstore.craftingstore.net), we handle the SSL/TLS certificate free of charge. On any plan.

The reason we only offer SSL/TLS for custom domains on premium plans is due to Lets Encrypt rate limits. And due to the "work" involved in getting certificates. We have a few servers that are only responsible for requesting/handling TLS/SSL certificates for stores. These cost money, so we made it a premium feature if you want us to manage the certificate. Certificates need to be renewed, domains will need to be validated, to see if they still point to us. And if we try to request certificates that fail, we might lose the ability to request them for a week, when the limits are reset.

Because the only issue is the complexity/rate limits, we have no problem with you using an external service like Cloudflare to let them handle SSL/TLS. We described how you can do this in our knowledge base: https://help.craftingstore.net/books/general/page/set-up-ssl-certificates-for-your-store

We support reverse proxies, and do not block them, we even have Cloudflare whitelisted on our DDoS filters / load balancers, and make sure that we get the correct player IP behind them.

I hope this clears things up. You always have the ability to use SSL/TLS with us, but there are some comprimises (like now using your own domain), or using Cloudflare for your DNS.

We offer a few ways of confirming e-mail addresses. Only the latest e-mail is valid, sending a new e-mail will invalidate the previous one.

1. When you create your account, you receive an automated e-mail with the confirmation link.
2. When you click the "resend mail" button on the dashboard, you get a new link (this will invalidate the old one)
3. You can create a support ticket, so we can confirm it manually for you.
4. You can send an e-mail to [email protected] from the account, our system will validate it the other way around in that case.

It can happen that mails reach your spam folder, or are blocked by your anti-virus. That's why we offer various ways of getting you up-and-running.

We never lost any data.

There was a bug with our "Billing Information" feature where it would not store the country. We never lost information, it wasn't stored in the first place. It's not like, we had it, but lost it in some way.

The country name was never included in the feature. Enabling the feature, and looking at the payments export revealed that there was no country name data included.

For the next time, on any platform, I advise you to enable a feature, then test if it has the data you need. Not after months of receiving payments.

P.S. We don't store payment data, we process commands for Minecraft servers, the payment processing is done by services like PayPal, Stripe, etc. they have the payment data.

tl;dr: This review misses a lot of contexts, and makes it seem like we lose data. This comment is just to set the record straight.

We will release the beta version shortly, it will have support for this.

Thanks you! <3

Thanks for your review! And this pingback is for Paymentwall, and it will only accept request from Paymentwall, with the correct API secret. If you meant something else, please send my a PM with the question. =)

Thanks you for the review!

I do not have any public discord at this moment, but I'm happy to talk about ideas, or CraftingStore in general using PM here on Spigot.

I noted the GUI suggestion. And we've already created one :)

Please see this item; https://www.craftingstore.net/faq/general/set-up-your-own-domain

We can't create a DNS items for every DNS manager, because all of them work a bit different, but this should get you started.

Thanks for your review! :)

You can already set-up PayGol in the gateways tab, and I won't make the branding removal a free feature, it's one of the only premium features, and you have the ability to install the system on your own custom URL thus removing that part of the CraftingStore branding. So the link would be the only way to attract more users to the system.

And CraftingStore is not just a "hosting", it's a fully functional E-Commerce platform build from the ground up, that took months to create.

Thanks for your review :)

Hello,
Can you please send me a PM with more details about your store. Or can you create a ticket, we we'll be able to look into this.

Thanks!

Thanks you! And for templates; We just recently switched to the Twig template engine, so nobody created templates for it just yet. We hope to see some members creating public templates tho.

Thanks! And what do you mean by "multiverse support"? Can you please explain this in DM or in the discussions?

Thanks for the review!

Thanks ^-^

It's already on the to-do list, but due the many requests for this feature, I'll mark it as high priority. Thanks for the review ;)

Thanks you for the review! :)

Thanks :D

Thanks for the review! And maybe in the future :)

Thanks for the review :)

Thanks :)

And you can change the language strings from the panel, and with Silver you have custom templates so you can remove the branding, I might create a simple config option for it, but it's possible with the current set-up.

I have a API endpoint that other services (like nameless) can use to get the payments / packages, so it's up to them to create a module. I'll look into creating one myself when I have time, then I'll just PR to them or put it online somewhere.

Thanks for the review =)

Thanks :)

Hehe, thanks for the review :)

Thanks ^^

Hi,
Can you please sent a PM to me with your email, and some extra information. So I can take a look at the reasons.

Thanks :)

The system does not support subscription packages just yet. But you can use PermissionsEx for example. (by using their "timed permissions".

Thanks for the review.

Thanks for the review.
And I don't really get your question. Can you please ask this in the discussions? And if you mean the commands; You can set a PEX command to run.

Thanks ;)

Thanks you, and I'm not taking any cut at all, only the payment providers do.

Thank you :)

Bedankt :P

It's already there ;)

I dont take anyting, paymentwall OR PayPal takes someting I think, bit I'm bit taking anyting myself.

I have tested it, and 1.7 support works just fine;
https://i.timkwakman.eu/IkqwVZNwAE.png

I didn't test 1.7, but it should work, there is nothing "special" that breaks on lower versions afaik. Thanks for the review.

I'll try to update the plugin later on (or even work with somebody else who can make the plugin). I want the web-based part to be as stable & safe as possible. And with many features, before I start working on the in-game part of the plugin. Anyhow; Thanks for the review, again =D

Thanks for the review :)

Thanks :)
And I'll try to add as many features as possible (if they are logic to me). So the plugin / website will get bigger over time.

I have added the "uuid" to the json API, and the "mc_name" will still be the name thats used to donate (not live updated). I'll release the plugin update when I get home in about ~10 hours, I want to test it first :)

The server that's used to host the font-end webshops has never gone down in the last ~200 days. I'll upload the system to another VPS as well so if the original server goes down it will take it over. If someone attacks the server or if it does down, I'll get a mail within 5 mins.

Thanks for the review :)

Please read my reply in the PM. As far as I know the security is good, the open ports should not be a problem because the webstore IP is diffrent from the main website. I'have patched some things, for more deatils see the PM. Thanks for pointing this out.

Thanks =)
