✨ Official News for today!
phpFox version 5 (Metafox) 5.1.5 Release is now available on web and mobile apps with many valuable updates and improvements. This new version will make your experience on our platform more enticing with the enhanced and new features.
What’s new?
Monetization with E-Money
E-Money, a new financial feature to widen your monetizing experience on phpFox. This feature allows you to seamlessly engage with our community and generate income while enjoying a secure and efficient payment system.
- Supports Admin commission: allowing administrators to earn a commission for every transaction that occurs within the community. All payments initiated by users within the community will be routed directly to the payment account configured in the AdminCP. This streamlines payment processing, ensuring that funds are securely and promptly received.
- User accounts will reflect the paid amount after deducting the payment commission fee. The amount processed will be based on USD (United States Dollar) after conversion using the latest currency conversion rates to provide a clear view of their earnings and expenditures. Users can manage their finances effortlessly within the Account Settings section, which includes checking their balance, reviewing transaction history, sending funds, and monitoring withdrawal requests.
- Admins play a vital role in the E-Money system by managing user withdrawal requests. Upon receiving a withdrawal request, Admins have the authority to approve it. Once approved, the Admin will be redirected to PayPal to complete the payment processing.
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Your account will now be projected by an additional layer of security using Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) via Email and SMS. This update lets us experience a more secure platform and protect our personal information.
❗ NOTE: Users must confirm the password before enabling MFA to ensure secure access.
