I've yet to set up a donation shop because I don't really like Mojang's EULA agreement, but many players are requesting it. I have two forms of currency on my server. GP which is earned by selling items in games, and EP which is earned by voting. With EP, players can buy permissions like enderchest anywhere, extra home limits, hats, back command, fly for 7 days, factions power, griefprevention claim blocks, etc. Players are requesting me to set up a buy shop so they can buy EP because they can only make 5 a day for voting. From my understanding, you can't do that. You also can't sell items or features that affect gameplay. Well it's really not affecting anything. Players can have the features just by voting. Is it against the EULA to sell hats, set home limits, etc.? Is there a way I could set up a monthly donation goal and if it's met, everybody gets x EP?
well you cant sell extra homes because that actually does effect game play quite a bit and you cant sell eb because there is an entire section saying that you cant use real money to buy in game currency but the hats should be fine, hit me up with anymore questions you may have

As far as I know, giving benefits that change gameplay to everyone when a condition is met is allowed, so giving everyone EP when a donation goal is met should be just fine. I can't say how easy or hard it will be to implement without knowing what plugin/other thing handles EP.
I'd have no idea. I use PlayerPoints plugin for EB. I don't know if it has a give all command. How hard would it be to make a plugin that fetches all usernames on the server and runs the give command for each? I can trigger it manually as I keep track of donations.
I decided to make an event shop in my Bossshop plugin. Whenever I reach milestone goals of donations, I will add a one time free shop item like 20 diamond, 5 EP, etc.
Do you happen to know of any event reward plugin though? Like say I want to have a special event this weekend, like login on Sunday and receive 20 diamond. Is there any plugin for that? Or play 10 hours through date-date and win EP. A lot of indie FPS games I play have such events like 100% + GP Easter weekend and would be cool to have it on a Minecraft server.
PlayerPoints seems to have a really simple API. I can probably make a give all command if you want one.

Way I see it, according to the EULA, as long as the perk or item can be obtained by non-paying players within reason (eg, not taking 6 months to save up for a 2$ perk), then selling perks/items is fine.
Basically, you have to allow free2play players to get everything that donators can get.

Well currently I have it set for $1 donation for 5 EP, which is how much a player can earn per day by voting. I also plan to set milestones so every $1,000 donated, all players can redeem 100 EP for free. And on weekends, players also earn 1 EP per hour played. And also plan on adding holiday events like login on Christmas for 100 free EP. I don't see how selling 5 EP for $1 would affect gameplay for non-paying players.
I got a couple custom plugins made. Instead of selling permissions, all players have the same permissions. There's now just command costs for commands like repair, enchant, tnt, etc. Also got a plugin made to give players EP per time played, all configurable. I set it to turn on during Friday night to Sunday night. Then of course 100 EP for everybody every $1K donated. I don't think there should be any complaints in selling EP for $1.

Seems fair enough
