What is a Discord token and how do I get one?
A Discord token is a unique code that is used to authenticate a Discord account. It's sent to Discord when you log in so Discord knows you're the owner of the account. Keep your Discord token private, as other people will be able to login to your account using it. Your Discord token is only saved on your own computer and never shared with us.

Can I test LightningBot before buying it?
Yes! We offer everyone a free trial so you can test LightningBot yourself for 7 days instead of relying on our words. Your free trial will be activated automatically after creating an account. Please refer to our Terms of Service for more information.
Is there a list of commands?

[p]help in any server or DM. Make sure to replace [p] with your own prefix. Your prefix will be an exclamation mark (!) by default.Where does LightningBot store data?
Previously, all files were located in your Documents folder. With the switch to multi-platform, we had to make some changes to the data location. The files are now located in your user config directory:
- Windows:
%AppData%\LightningBot - MacOS:
~/Library/Application Support/LightningBot - Linux:
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/LightningBotor~/.config/LightningBot
