Merch Booth Module - Developer Product tutorial does not work

Issue Description
For the Merch Booth Module tutorials, Step 4 of the Developer Product subtutorial tells you to right click and “Copy Asset ID” of the developer product:

There are three issues with this step:

  1. Right click no longer works on the Creator Dashboard for this, you now have to click on the … menu to see the “Copy Asset ID” option
  2. The copied ID is not an Asset ID, it is a Product ID (this is an issue with the Creator Dashboard)
  3. The module does not work with Product IDs, this is more so an issue with the module, but currently this means the tutorial does not work

I would ideally report #3 as a separate bug, but there is no forum section to report DevModule issues. To resolve this without any DevModule changes, you can get the product’s Asset ID instead of the Product ID by manually typing the ID below the asset:

Conversely, you can do this slightly faster by configuring the developer product and retrieving it from the URL:

Thanks for the report. I filed a ticket to our internal database.

Apologies for the long delayed response. I just tested the MerchBooth module with a Developer Product and it works for me. Were you sure to complete the second aspect of adding an item to the script, meaning adding Enum.InfoType.Product as the second argument to MerchBooth.addItemAsync()?

Also make sure you have the most updated version of the MerchBooth module, obtained from the Toolbox marketplace as instructed in the Installation section.

Hope this helps!

Hi! No worries. Yes, at the time of the original post I was doing this. If memory serves, there was an error that would occur that would prevent products from working with this module. They now work and I can no longer repro it.

For the documentation, these issues are still present:

Thanks for the follow-up. We’ll get that “right click” part sorted out soon (as you note, the “…” button needs to be clicked now).
