Datastore2 Saving Gui Button state (Visibility)

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have a Datastore2 setup and working for my leaderstats, but I am now trying to save a Gui button’s visibility… When someone buys an item, the button disappears and I want it to save that state, so that when players log back in, they can’t buy the save product again.

I tried saving the visible bool in the same manner that I saved my stats, but without success (I am fairly new to scripting)

So my question is, how can I achieve this?
Additional info: The shop is showed when a part is touched and the purchase is client to server with a remote

My Code

    local DataStore2 = require(1936396537) --//Stats = Master key

    DataStore2.Combine("Stats", "Crystals", "Coins", "Rubies", "Rebirths", "Multiplier")
    Players = game:GetService("Players")
    game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)--PlayerAddedFunction

    	--//Datastore2 Vars
    	local dataCoinsLife = DataStore2("CoinsLife",player)
    	local dataCrystals = DataStore2("Crystals",player)
    	local dataCoins = DataStore2("Coins",player)
    	local dataRubies = DataStore2("Rubies",player)
    	local dataRebirths = DataStore2("Rebirths",player)
    	local dataMultiplier = DataStore2("Multiplier",player)
    	--//End DataStore2 Vars

I would save it to a table like this. Maybe save it using player.Removing.

local visibletable = {}

local button1 = -- define
local button2 = -- define
local button3 = --define

visibletable.Item1 = button1.Visible
visibletable.Item2 = button2.Visible
visibletable.Item3 = button3.Visible
print(visibletable)
dataVisibles:Set(visibletable)

Okay, I think I understand, I will give this a try thank you for your time here.

Edit: Can I add the table to the combined keys? Or make a new script?
