Edit: This plugin is no longer supported by Roblox officially.

Our in-game purchasing API has only been out for a few weeks and we've already seen builders use it to sell items in artistic and effective means. It's not exactly beginner territory, though, and then nosotros decided to come with a style to make in-game stores easier to implement. To that upshot, we've created a ROBLOX Studio plugin that y'all can download, drop into Studio and use to build out a GUI-based store interface. This means can you lot can quickly and easily add a Game Laissez passer and gear store to your place!

Open a new instance of Studio. Click "Tools" then click "Open up Plugins Folder." You'll discover a new folder there called "Store Creator."
Drag the zipped file into this folder, and unzip the file.
Restart ROBLOX Studio.
One time you lot've re-opened, you'll notice a new Robux icon in your tool bar. Click that, and a brand new GUI will open. This GUI will permit you to brainstorm populating your game's store with the items you'd like to sell.
To add together items, simply acquire the asset IDs, which can exist done by copying the final viii numbers of the URL of the item you'd similar to include. We'll give you lot an example. This is the URL for the Torso Bandy Potion. The nugget ID numbers are between the two red lines.
For each item you'd like to add to your shop, re-create and paste the asset ID number and they volition announced in your shop, in-game!

Once y'all are satisfied with the amount of items on auction in your shop, salve all changes in Studio, and open your game. Now, a shopping cart icon will announced at the top of the screen. Upon clicking that icon, your store will open up and users tin browse your items and make purchases.

Oh, and speaking of making purchases, ever seen this place?

From dress shirts, to polos, to dresses, to full-blown suits, yous can scan and purchase every item from habiliment group Kestrel'due south varied itemize of clothing.

User FighterAce is no stranger to selling items in game, so nosotros thought nosotros'd enquire him to give his professional advice for offset-fourth dimension builders who plan on selling items in their games. This was his response:

Consumer-based suggestions are extremely of import. Always be interacting with your consumers, whether that's holding polls to meet what items are doing favorably, or simply popping into your place or game and saying howdy. Likewise, like in real life, auction items are ordinarily seasonable. Winter is over and Summertime is hither, so we alter the clothes we accept available to reflect the season. Right at present, my inbox is flooded with customers who desire shorts and summer-type wearing apparel, and so nosotros're putting together a new collection. Lastly, ever interact with your customers. They appreciate that you make the try to get to know them.
