It is possible to save dictionaries within a regular DataStore.
OrderedDataStores however can only save numbers.

There’s no reason to be encoding the dictionary into JSON either.

--Example code
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local mainDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("Main DataStore")

game:GetService("Players").PlayerRemoving:Connect(function(player)
       local dataToSave = {}
       dataToSave['Credits'] = player.leaderstats.Credits.Value --Example value to save inside a dictionary
       
       local success, err = pcall(function()
              mainDataStore:SetAsync(player.UserId, dataToSave)
       end)
       --Make sure to include fail saves!
end)
