Creating a developer product in Roblox allows players to purchase in-game items, upgrades, or other features within your game.

Steps to Create a Developer Product​

Follow these steps to create and monetize a developer product:

Step 1 - Prepare Your Experience​

  • Ensure your experience is published and accessible on the Roblox site.

Step 2 - Create the Product​

  • Go to your Creator Dashboard and select your experience.

  • In the Monetization menu, select Developer Products and click Create a Developer Product.

  • Optionally, upload an image (512×512 pixels in .jpg, .png, or .bmp format).

  • Fill in the Name and Description fields.

  • Set the price in Robux.

  • Click Create.

Step 3 - Integrate the Product in Your Game​

  • Open your game in Roblox Studio.

  • Use the following Lua script to add a purchase button for the developer product:

local Players = game:GetService("Players") 
local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService") 
local productId = YOUR_PRODUCT_ID -- Replace with your developer product ID

local function onButtonClicked(player) 
    MarketplaceService:PromptProductPurchase(player, productId) 
end 

local function onPlayerAdded(player) 
    -- Assuming you have a ScreenGui with a TextButton in it 

    local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui") 
    local screenGui = playerGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui") 
    local purchaseButton = screenGui:WaitForChild("PurchaseButton") 

    purchaseButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function() 
        onButtonClicked(player) 
    end) 
end 

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)

Step 4 - Handle Purchase Events​

  • Add the following script to handle successful purchases:
local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService") 
local Players = game:GetService("Players") 

local function onProductPurchase(receiptInfo) 
    local player = Players:GetPlayerByUserId(receiptInfo.PlayerId) 

    if not player then 
        return Enum.ProductPurchaseDecision.NotProcessedYet 
    end 

    local productId = receiptInfo.ProductId 

    -- Handle the purchased product here 

    if productId == YOUR_PRODUCT_ID then 
        -- Grant the item or benefit to the player 
    end 

    return Enum.ProductPurchaseDecision.PurchaseGranted 
end 

MarketplaceService.ProcessReceipt = onProductPurchase

Step 5 - Test Your Product​

  • Use Roblox Studio's play mode to test the purchase functionality.

  • Make sure the purchase process works smoothly and the benefits are correctly granted to the player.

Step 6 - Publish Your Changes​

  • Once everything is tested and working, publish your game updates.

  • Your developer product is now live and ready for players to purchase.

By following these steps, you can successfully create and monetize a developer product in Roblox, enhancing your game's monetization strategy and providing additional value to your players.
