Your DayZ server pays for itself

How it works

1. 01Open Monetization on your server website, pick your payout country and whether you receive the money as a private person or as a company, and fill in Stripe's secure form right on the page — usually in under five minutes. dzbot never sees your ID or bank details.
2. 02Write a short introduction for your support page: what players support and how to reach you about questions and refunds.
3. 03Players open "Support the server" in the shop, choose an amount and pay in Stripe's secure checkout — no account to create, no name to type in.
4. 04The money reaches your bank account after Stripe's usual holding period of about seven days. Every payment shows up in your accounting with player and amount.

Why players pay more here

Support links fail on friction: a link in a channel, a different website, an account to create, a name to type into a note so the admin knows who it was. On dzbot the player is already signed in on your server website, picks an amount and pays — and you see who it was. On our own server, support payments multiplied five to ten times in the month after we switched the support page on.

Most DayZ bots have nothing like this. In Law's KillFeed and DayZ-RSS the economy runs on in-game currency only; real money flows from the owner to the bot, never from players to the owner.

Thank supporters automatically

• Give supporters a Discord role for a set time after each payment — every new payment extends it.
• Post a thank-you in a channel, or send the player a DM.
• Players see their own payment history on the support page.
• Payments by PayPal or bank transfer can be recorded by hand and trigger the same thank-yous.

Costs and conditions

• dzbot keeps 5% of each payment; Stripe charges its processing fee (about 1.4% + €0.25 for most EU cards). Both come off your payout — players pay exactly the amount they choose.
• Payments start at €10; you set the maximum per payment (€250 by default).
• Connecting a payment account needs a paid dzbot subscription; it is not available during the free trial.
• Stripe reviews every account. dzbot answers the questions about the app for you and gives the reviewer a guest login to your server.

And when your server earns more

Then you can even save yourself the accounting software. dzbot ships with built-in accounting: every payment, your Nitrado rent and every other expense, invoices, receipts and an asset register in one place, built to the German GoBD bookkeeping rules.
