🌟 Features

You can check screenshots of the bot's commands to see how cool it is :D

✅ Easy to use

This bot uses the power of Slash Commands to let you interact with it with the best UI as possible (Embeds, Buttons, Select Menu). So you will not have to worry about remembering complex commands, the bot does everything for you, and prevents you from accidentally making errors.

Thanks to Discord's features, you can customize the permissions for each command in the settings of your server.

✅ Fully customizable shops, currencies, products.

You can create currencies, then use them in shops you created, in which you can add products, with a name, an emoji, a description and a price.

Of course, you can manage these currencies, shops and products. You can delete and edit them, if you want to change their name, description.. or get rid of them !

✅ Shop features

You can create discount codes for your shops.

You can set a product to be in limited stock or unlimited stock

You can have products that trigger an action when bought (such as: give money to a user, give a role to a user, any other ideas?)

You can create shops reserved for specific roles

✅ Inventory system (for items and currencies)

Users can see their own account and inventory, and buy in shops.

Admins can give and take money to users and even empty an account, they can also see the account and inventory of anyone.

✅ Logs

You can setup a log channel to see logs about purchases, gives and takes.

✅ Multi language support

The bot currently supports English, Spanish and French. You can help the development of the bot by translating it

To be added

• ❓ API to automate actions like: filling accounts; managing currencies, shops and products
• Create a release, a precompiled version of the bot, with an easier way of installing it.

See the detailed roadmap here.

If you have a feature idea you think will fit this bot, feel free to suggest it here.

🚀 How to use

This repo is the bot's source code, not a bot itself.
To use it, you must host it yourself. There are several methods to do this, some are free, some are paid (Be careful that your hosting solution allows file editing, sometimes called local database, otherwise all the bot's data will be lost if the server restarts).
Once you found the hoster for your bot, here are the steps to follow:

🔧 Installing the bot

🤖 Creating the bot

1. Go on Discord Developer Portal and login
2. Click New Application, give your bot a name, accept the ToS and developer policy
3. Copy the Application ID from the General Information tab, save it for later.
4. In the Installation tab, untick User Install, and in Install Link select None, then save changes.
5. Select tab Bot, click Reset Token, copy the token, save it for later.
6. Cutomize the bot as you want (Profile picture, banner, name...). Below Authorization Flow, untick Public Bot, tick Presence Intent and Server Members Intent
7. Save changes.
8. In the OAuth2 tab, in Scopes, select bot and application.commands, then tick the following permissions:
   • Read Messages/View Channels
   • Send Messages
   • Use Slash Commands
9. Select Guild Install and copy the generated URL
10. Follow this URL and add the bot to the server you want, accept everything, the bot should be added to your server !

📡 Uploading the bot

Now, we'll link the code to the bot, and upload it on the server.

1. You need to have Node.js installed on the machine where you want to host the bot.
2. Download the code from the latest release and extract it from the ZIP file, open the folder where it's located, and open a terminal from here.
3. Execute the following command

4. Follow the instructions in the terminal (it will ask for your bot's token and Application ID)
5. When it asks : reset data ?, answer yes (y) if you don't want the placeholder shops, currencies and products that I used to test the bot
6. You can now run your bot by executing the following command

Depending on your hosting solution, you may need to use a tool like screen (Linux) to keep the bot running in the background

You can also create a routine such that this command is executed from the bot's folder each time the server is restarted

All done ! You did it, your bot should be working perfectly ! If you have any problem with it, feel free to message me on Discord, or open an issue on Github

Main features and commands (Admin only)

As mentionned earlier, this bot enables you to create and manage shops, currencies and products.

Managing Shops

The shops have a name, an optionnal description and emoji. They also have an assigned currency. Shops can be reserved for a certain role. All of these can be edited after the Shop has been created.

You can also create discount codes for the shops.

Commands :

  /shops-manage
    | create <name> <description> <emoji> <reserved-to-role?>
    | edit <name/description/emoji/reserved-to-role> <new-value>
    | reorder
    | remove

    | create-discount-code <code> <amount>
    | remove-discount-code

Managing Currencies

The currencies have a name and an emoji. All of these can be edited after the Currency has been created.

Commands :

  /currencies-manage
    | create <name> <emoji>
    | edit <name/emoji> <new-value>
    | remove

Managing Products

The products have a name, a price, an optionnal description and emoji. All of these can be edited after the Product has been created. A product is assigned to a specific shop.

You can create 'Action Products', these are products that will trigger an action when bought. It can be used to give money to a user, give the user a role. (That's all for now but I'm willing to add more in the future, feel free to give your suggestions in the Issues)

Commands :

  /products-manage
    | add <name> <price> <description> <emoji> <action?>
    | edit <name/price/description/emoji> <new-value>
    | remove

Managing Users

The users have an account and an inventory, initially empty. In addition to being able to view their account and inventory, you can give or take money to users, and empty their account.

Commands :

  /accounts-manage
    | view-account <target>
    | give <target> <amount>
    | bulk-give <role> <amount>
    | take <target> <amount>

How to use admin commands ?

Commands that require selecting a specific Shop or Currency will prompt you to do so with a drop-down list after you executed the command. For example, when creating a shop (/shops-manage create <name>) you select the currency after sending the command, and then the shop is created. When you give some amount of any currency to a user, you first specify the amount and then select the currency. When deleting any shop or currency, you also do select it after sending the command.

This for you not to have to remember the name of each currency and shop to manage them.

The use of those command is made as intuitive as possible using Discord's slash-commands and message components. If you encounter any issue with a command, you can open an issue.

Commands for everyone:

• Show user's account: /account

• Display the shops: /shop
