Shop gui purchase button

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to make a shop GUI but I ran into a problem, when someone clicks the item they want to buy, how do I get the purchase button to know what item to give them?

You can store string values inside the button then search for the item name in your item storage based off the string value

local itemStorage = game.ReplicatedStorage--change this to wherever you're storing items
button.Activated:Connect(function()
local item = itemStorage:FindFirstChild(button.StringValue.Value)
   if item then--if the item exists then the script will continue
     --then you could clone item and give it to the player here.
  end
end)

if this doesn't make sense / you have any questions let me know!

I did more research and figured out I can send the data using a client to server Remote Event
