How would I not use a string for this

I wanna save clothes but I don’t know how because I would have to save the shirt template

The error is 103: string is not allowed for datastores.

Code (sorry that its really messy I’ve never used datastores before)

remote = game.ReplicatedStorage.SaveAvatar
dss = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
avatarStore = dss:GetOrderedDataStore("avatarStore")

debounce = false

function TeleportAndSave(player,Clothes)
local button = player.PlayerGui.CharacterCustomization.Frame.Confirm
	if debounce == false then
		button.Text = ("Loading..")
		debounce = true
				print(player.Name..("'s data is.. "),Clothes)
					for ClothesNumber,ClothesItem in pairs(Clothes) do
						local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
							avatarStore:SetAsync(player.UserId,Clothes[ClothesNumber])
							print(avatarStore:GetSortedAsync(player.UserId))
						end)
					if not success then 
				warn(("Error.. ")..tostring(errorMessage))
			button.Text = ("Error, try again")
				task.wait(3)
				debounce = false
			button.Text = ("Confirm")
			break
			end
		end
	elseif debounce == true then
		warn("Debounce!")
	end
end

remote.OnServerEvent:Connect(TeleportAndSave)

If I’m not wrong, some characters in strings to use in data stores are not allowed.

Perhaps you could just save the numbers in the asset link?

Easiest way is just to just do

local url = "https://www.roblox.com/assets/?id=123456789"
local id = string.match(url, "%d+")

print(id) --Expected output: "123456789"

avatarStore:SetAsync(player.UserId,Clothes[ClothesNumber]) -- Just save ID here
local clothing = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=" .. avatarStore:GetAsync(player.UserId) -- Load player data like this
