VIP-SHOP

(v21.09+)

VIP-SHOP is an add-on that allows you to sell VIP codes in real time using Stripe as a processor of credit cards, GooglePay and ApplePay. VIP-SHOP is NOT included in BlaB! WS/AX Pro and must be purchased separately. VIP-SHOP settings are fully integrated in the Admin CP of the chat.

VIP-SHOP is NOT a required part of BlaB! WS/AX Pro - you can sell VIP codes by installing and using any online store software that is familiar to you or popular in your region. Alternatively, you can generate VIP codes en masse and sell them via online services such as MyCommerce, e-Junkie, Simple Goods.
