Your website
Put a home in front of your store, with your server, how to join, your news and a menu. Free on every store, in the theme of your store.
Your store can be a whole website for your server. Players land on a home with a welcome, how to join and your latest news, and the shop is one click away in the menu. The website uses the theme of your store, so it looks the same everywhere. It is free on every store, with or without Pro.
Switch it on
- Open Website under Website in the dashboard.
- Switch on Website at the top.
- Click Save.
The website is off until you switch it on. While it is off, players land in your shop, like they always did.
What changes when it is on
| Address | Off | On |
|---|---|---|
/ |
Your shop | Your home |
/shop |
Goes to / |
Your shop |
/news, /staff, /vote |
Not shown | Your news, staff and vote pages |
Everything else stays where it was: products, categories, pages, the checkout and My purchases. Links you shared before keep working, and switching the website off puts it all back.
The home
Under Home you pick what your home shows. Tick a block to show it and drag it by its handle to change the order.
| Block | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Welcome | A title and a few lines about your server. |
| How to join | Three steps to get on your server, with the address to copy. |
| Latest news | Your three newest posts. Shows once you posted something. See News. |
| From the shop | A few products with a button into the shop. |
Welcome
Fill in a Title and a Text. Leave the title empty and it says "Welcome to" and the name of your store; leave the text empty and it shows your tagline from Branding. The text is up to 2,000 characters; **bold** and [text](https://link) work. With a Discord invite under Branding, the block gets a Join our Discord button.
Tell players what makes your server worth joining: the game mode, what is special, and who it is for. Two or three short lines read better than a long story.
How to join
This block needs the address of your server. Fill it in under Settings, Branding, at Server address. Players copy it with one click. Without an address the block stays hidden.
From the shop
Under Products on the home you choose up to 8 products and drag them in order. Without a choice, the home shows the first products of your first category. Pick what most players come for, like your ranks.
Server status and other modules
Server status, your Discord, recent payments, the top buyer and a goal are modules: switch them on under Settings, Theme. Your theme decides where they sit on the home.
The menu
Every page of your website has a menu. It always starts with Home and Shop. Then come:
- News, once you posted something.
- Staff, once a group has a player, and Vote, once you added a vote site. See Staff and Voting.
- Your visible pages, in the order you gave them under Pages.
- Up to 4 links of your own, like a map or a wiki. Click Add a link, give it a name of up to 24 characters and a full address starting with
https://.
Where the menu sits depends on your theme: a bar under the banner, a pill at the top or a row of buttons. On the checkout and the order page the menu is left out, so nothing distracts a player who is paying.
Tips for a good website
- Start with Welcome, How to join and From the shop. That is enough for day one. Add news once you have something to say.
- Post news when something happens: a new season, an event, new ranks. The home shows it right away. A screenshot from the game as image works best.
- Fill in your Discord invite under Settings, Branding, so players find your community from the home.
- Use your own domain, like
yourserver.net, so the website is the address players remember. See Your own domain. - Check it on your phone. Most players visit from one. Click View your website at the top of the Website page.
