What Are Categories?

On your Tebex Store, packages are grouped into categories - there are also some category specific settings that you can change to enable or disable certain features; let's go into all this as well as how to create a category.

🎓 Academy Guide - Categories Overview

We'll go into how to create a category, as well as all the options they have below, but we also have this handy video guide on the subject too - feel free to give it a watch!

On your Tebex Store, packages are grouped into categories - there are also some category specific settings that you can change to enable or disable certain features; let's go into all this as well as how to create a category.

Creating a Category

  1. Click Add New in the top-right, then click Category.

  2. We'll start by filling out the basic details of our category:

  • The Category Name - the name of the category, this appears on your Tebex Store.

  • The Description - a short description of the items inside this category, customers will see these once they click into the category.

  • The Category Image - an image that represents this category, these are usually shown on the homepage of your store, but whether they display and where is ultimately decided by your template.


We can now look into all the category-specific settings you can choose - here's each section and setting explained.

General

Parent Category You can set the category you're creating to have a parent (be a subcategory of another), if you'd like to do this, select the parent category here. Package Display Formation You can choose whether the category image should be displayed on your store or not here.

Visibility

Only Show If Customer Has Purchased Package We give you the option to decide if this category should only be shown to customers who have purchased a specific package. By default, categories are visible to all customers, but if you select a package, or multiple, here then we'll only show this category to customers who have purchased all the packages you select. Order The Packages In This Category By You can choose how to order the packages that display in this category, we offer:

  • Order On The Page (the order you've manually selected on the Packages page).

  • Price (Low to High)

  • Price (High to Low)

  • Newest First

Do Not Display This Category In The Subcategory Drop Down Menu If this category is a subcategory, this option, when enabled, makes it so this category doesn't appear visibly under the parent category (hides it). Disable This Category And Remove It From The Webstore This option disables the category and any packages under it, stopping new purchases from coming through and hides the category from your store. This option doesn't delete the category or any packages.

Cumulative

Cumulative packages are useful where you'd like customers to be able to upgrade from one package to the next by only paying the price difference between their currently owned package and the one they'd like to upgrade to. This is especially useful when you're selling content like ranks and memberships. Here's an example:

  • Silver Rank = $10

  • Gold Rank = $30

A customer purchases Silver Rank for $10. The customer will now be able to purchase Gold Rank for $20 in the future. ($30 - $10 = $20).

Cumulate The Purchases Inside Of This Category So Customers Only Pay The Difference When Purchasing A Higher Priced Package When enabled for a category, we'll ensure that if customers already own one package within this category and then want to buy another, we'll only charge the customer for the difference in price between the package they already own and the one they want to purchase; this is useful for implementations like rank systems and more. Disable Cumulative Packages That Have A Lower Price Than The Current Purchased Package This allows you to disable any packages that have a lower price than the package the customer currently owns, within this category; this is useful for stopping customers from accidentally downgrading the current rank, or other package, they own already.

Advanced

And To Finish...

Once you have entered all the options, click Create or Update, and your category will now be listed or updated on your webstore 🙌

Click Packages on the left-sidebar on the

If you're using the , you can also choose a Minecraft GUI Item top reflect the category you're creating. This will be the icon used to represent the category within your in-game shop.

Discounts for Cumulative Packages are permanent, even if the package the customer purchases ends up expiring because of a , the customer will still retain their discount.

Category Slug We support the ability to provide a custom category slug, this means you can customise the end of your category URLs to provide greater readability and clarity for customers and search engines. Only Allow The Customer To Only Purchase One Package From This Category This option allows you to restrict customers to only purchase one package from this category. Delete Pending Expiry Commands Of Other Packages In This Category Upon A New Purchase When enabled and a customer makes a purchase of any package within this category, we will delete any pending commands on any previous payments from that customer that use the from any other package within this category. Add Any Remaining Time Of Other Purchased Packages In This Category Onto New Purchases When enabled, we'll add any remaining time the customer might have (if you have setup) from any other package in this category onto new purchases from this same category. For example, you could set this up so that if a customer buys 30 days VIP, and 10 days in they purchase the same package again, the customer will now have 50 days remaining of VIP.
