Is there a way to create a DevProduct with code?

[ChasingNachos]

Good afternoon,

I am trying to create a donation centre for my new group, so if someone were to type in a ROBUX amount, the dev product would be created and it would prompt them to purchase it. I’m not exactly sure how I would go about doing this.

Any thoughts?

AFAIK There’s no native way of going about this. However if you’re interested in a JavaScript method that you would need to keep up and hosted yourself you can look into this. Otherwise you might just want to create certain amounts such as 25, 50 ,75, 100 etc

Would there be a way to edit an existing DevProduct’s price?

No there isn’t unless you’re doing it manually.

There’s been a few times this topic has been created for, primarily to use it for donation centers. One of the solutions proposed was that instead of trying to do this (which in effect you’re just creating several throwaway products), you make products of different amounts and then prompt the user the products until they reach the amount they typed in.

For example: if a user types in 521 to pay then you prompt the player the 500, 20 and 1 Robux products which then equal up to 521. The tax would of course differ than just paying the whole amount but that’s the only way to do this in-house. I think it’s more reasonable than trying to use external services to create ultimately useless products or then running into the issue of wanting to edit those amounts.

Reference to the post in question:

Charge Different Amounts Of Robux

In the ScriptersCF donation place, we allow users to input any amount of Robux, which prompts them with preset developer products that add up to the total. This is beneficial as it doesn’t require the use of an external server to constantly update developer products. For example, entering 521 would prompt the user with a product that costs 500R$, 20R$ and then 1R$. Assuming that’s what you’re looking for, you can find the source here on GitHub if you’re interested in taking a look.

Yes there is, but it’s complicated.
Since you can’t acces the Roblox API from game servers, you’ll need an “API proxy”.
That’d be a web server, the game server would send requests to, the web server would then forward those requests to the Roblox API and forward the result to the game server.
As far as I know, there are public ones, though you shouldn’t/can’t use them for stuff you need to log in for.

You could also, of course not create an API proxy, but a little own “API” for your game itself with, for example things like Node and Noblox.js.

It would be possible using this module and the endpoints on https://develop.roblox.com/docs

There was one pre made for this,

Custom Developer Products

Providing a backend for donation centers, product shops and the like. This gives you the ability to have developer products of any price added on request. Using either the example place provided, the example module provided, or your own Roblox frontend, you can use this to add developer products any price whenever it’s required! Sending a POST request to the backend server’s /requestProduct page with the required headers will return 1 of 2 possible results - both in JSON format. If the reques…

It is a bit buggy from when I did some security checks but it works for what it is.
