Setup

Start with permissions, then configure the defaults that every event depends on.

Invite the bot

Add Prize Bot to your Discord server and keep the requested permissions. Auction channels, claim tickets, reaction giveaways, role rewards, and ticket panels all depend on Discord permissions.

Pick your staff model

Use Discord slash command permissions for who can create auctions, giveaways, claims, tickets, currencies, and shop items. Older host-role settings are deprecated where slash permissions cover the same job.

Configure event defaults

Set auction, giveaway, claim, currency, and shop settings before your first live event so logs, channels, categories, and formatting are consistent.

Use the dashboard for bulk work

The dashboard is better for queue management, event edits, hard deletes, ticket transcript browsing, shop orders, currencies, and status boards.

Core Settings

/settings auctions

Auction log channel, category, alert role, integer-only bids, currency payment, anti-snipe range/extension/limits, venue mode, shared channel, channel prefix, and end GIF.

/settings giveaways

Giveaway alert role, result log channel, entry method, server-tag winner eligibility, deprecated host role, and whether ended giveaways show the public reroll button.

/settings claiming

Claim ticket category, staff role, claim log channel, ticket instructions, ticket channel prefix, ticket expiration, unopened-claim expiration, forfeits, fallback winners, and whether claiming is disabled while records are still kept.

/settings currency

Legacy default currency display settings. New servers should prefer /currency create for multi-currency setup.

/settings advanced

Shows where to manage dashboard-only settings and links directly to the server dashboard.

Permission Checklist

  • Bot can manage channels in the auction and ticket categories.
  • Bot can send messages, embed links, attach files, and add reactions in event channels.
  • Bot can manage roles if shop purchases grant Discord roles.
  • Members can receive DMs if you want outbid, result, or claim messages to reach them privately.
  • Auction and giveaway log channels are visible to staff.

Where To Go Next

Use Command Reference when you need slash command syntax, or Dashboard when you are managing existing events and server configuration.
