Hi

I've got an unpacking group in which I offer free and cheap unpackings. So I would like to automate this using dispenser.tf but I would have to be able to set a list of authorised people who can trade for them. So anybody not on the list cannot get the packs. As I would want to offer for example a 4-pack of Payday 2 for 1 key so the people on the list can get it to unpack and then send me back the single gifts after unpacking it.

I don't think it would be difficult to add this. As it would simply compare the identity of the person requesting the trade with the people on the list, if he's on the list it trades, else not.

Requirements:
- Ability to create and save a list of autorized people by their steam ID.
- Ability to import friendlist / members of a group to the list. + for example option to only import group members with "officer" rank.
- Ability to disable people on the list without without removing them from the list (like with a checkbox behind all, + option to check all or none)
- Ability for others to return the single gifts of the unpacking. Either by creating a "returns" option that accepts the gifts back or just an option with which they can just send anything back to me.
- Preferably also an option to set how many gifts of the same game each person on the list can request. A base value for this + the ability to set a different value for certain users.

As I've had to do 300 Payday 2 free unpackings all manually, it would be a great help if I could get this done automatically by dispenser.tf. It could also help out some other people for other things.

I would certainly be willing to pay the 50 dollar for VIP on dispenser.tf when this would get implemented.

Thanks

It would be great for all premium store owners as they would be able to offer special deals to certain people this way. For example offer a game to all their friends or good clients for 3 keys instead of 4 etc...

It would allow all store owners to offer certain deals only to a certain group of people.

Would also be great for giveaways: people that own a group and for example want to give away 100 gifts of a game to random people in their group would be able to use this feature. Set the group as list and limit to 1 each person and then the 100 quickest people would be able to get their free gift through dispenser.

I think it would be a really nice extra feature that would really be helpfull to VIP users.

I think its already almost possible. For example, create two trades - one which offers payday4pack for 6 keys and one which offers 6keys for 3xpayday2. Only feature dispenser need to add to support this most basic scenario would be fully private vip bot (with user whitelist).
Also thuth is such 4pack openings would only make small percentage of total operations performed in dispenser. And there is tons of work dispenser progammers need to address in basic, 99% of all operations, functionality. So i think private bot with user whitelist is best you can hope for.
Of course i am not related with dispenser management in any way, so this is all speculation.

I think it wouldn't be difficult to implement while it's a nice feature for VIP users.
Yes I could ask keys and then return keys, but that require the people of my group to get those keys. I'd really like that whitelist. Dispenser already compares to some databases like steamrep so I believe it should be possible with limited amount of work.

I really really really hope they'd add this, I'd but VIP immediately as it would save me tons of time.

Cara told me a whitelist for a trade is under implementation. It will simply let you set a trade to be used by only a list of people. I do not know if it will help you do what you wish completely but it is as far as it could be implemented.

Yes should be able to help me out to distribute the 4-packs :).
Hope the option will be avaiable soon.

The special offer to groups of users feature is under testing, you can create groups here:

http://dispenser.tf/view_offer_groups/

Then edit any trades to assign the trade to the specified group. Only the Steam ID listed in the group can make purchase in that trade, otherwise that trade will be hidden to anyone not in the group.

Nice, but is it possible to add "free" option to these whitelist trades? Because that's what makes it unuseable for me atm. I cannot distribute 4-packs for free to my group now, always have to add something to the other side too atm.
