Variable DevProduct cost

TL;DR Variable DevProduct costs are way overdue

As a Roblox developer, managing DevProducts for your game is currently too difficult. You need to create a separate DevProduct for each and every type of purchase in the game. There is no ability to change the price of a DevProduct on the go, forcing developers to create tens, if not hundreds, of DevProducts to cover all the different types of in-game purchases.

Addressing this issue would significantly improve my development experience, as I could create one DevProduct for a category of purchases instead of separate DevProducts for every individual purchase.

Here are a few benefits this feature would bring to Roblox developers:

• Being able to change the price of a DevProduct based on in-game variables.
• Being able to offer discounts for mass purchases.

Additionally, here’s an example of a current challenge I face:
A game has a timer that can be skipped by paying a certain amount. Due to current DevProduct pricing, we were forced to create a new DevProduct for each duration (e.g., 15m, 30m, etc.). If we had the ability to set variable costs, we could use one DevProduct to represent all durations and change its price for each specific instance as needed.

This issue has been brought up several times in the past, but none of the posts are recent. I feel this issue needs to be highlighted again. Here are some of the posts I found, which also contain more examples:

Dev Products With Custom Variables

As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to create products with variable properties. For example, imagine a developer product for a pet where you can enter a custom name for the pet. In order to do this correctly, you would have to have access to the custom name inside of the ProcessReceipt function, each time it is called. This means you must somehow store the name in a way that is specific to that purchase. I propose that one of these three redresses be implemented… 1: Add another …

How can you change the amount of a DevProduct from Script?

Hello. I’ve recently came around this game that lets you buy a product of any amount. Basically, you get in the game, you enter an amount and the game prompts a purchase of the amount you asked, while being the same DevProduct. How could I do this? Thanks, -Mehdi

[Developer Products] Variable Price?

Some users like myself would like to simply provide a developer product input for a certain amount of robux/tix (depending on the value of items) without having to create dozens of developer products. Would a feature allowing developers to input a custom integer price be a possibility?

Best,

Yeah, I would even stop using dev-products all together as well. Imagine just doing:

MarketplaceService:PromptCustomPurchase(Name, PriceInRobux, ImageId, Callback)
MarketplaceService.OnCustomPurchase → Event, triggers with the info Name, PriceInRobux, ImageId

Or maybe some new Product instance that we can create/delete/change at any time during the game.

What negatives could this have, not sure… But I don’t like needing to create often a product.

Honestly, using a replacement like this sounds a lot better and would be a lot easier for Roblox to update in the future as well.

This would also be perfect for donation systems whereby players would then be able to donate any amount they desire.
