ServerStorage can’t be accessed via local script. I’m assuming you’re using a local script since your shop is most likely a gui.

just like @rokec123 said, you have to use Remotes to access ServerStorage, and you just have to compare the values, for example

local value1 = script.Parent
local value2 = script.Parent.Parent

if value1.Value >= value2.Value then
   value1.Value = value1.Value - value2.Value
end

that’s just an example, but you could do something similar to that

Use Remote Functions to do that

Here’s a tutorial:

You are kinda vague tbh. Can you elaborate more? There are multiple different ways to check the price of something in server-storage.

I mean… if you wanted to do check the price of an object in server storage using a script, then here you go:

local item = game.ServerStorage.Item
local cost = item.Cost.Value

if playersMoney >= cost then
    -- The player has enough money to buy it
else
    -- The player does not have enough money to buy it
end

but… if the value of the cost is higher than what the player’s got, how can the player have enough money to buy it?? doesn’t make any sense, I mean… it does check if it’s equal to the money that player has but shouldn’t it be the other way around?
