Variable DevProduct cost

[Legoracer (xyz)]

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.

Bump, was just looking for this thread.

Was just playing grow a garden and realized how if I could get a lower price for this skip, id spend it rn.

Yes I know they could create 2 or even 3 different dev products for different percentages of completion but this takes way more effort and knowledge to setup.

I have thought about this in the past, but didnt really consider that maybe I could make a difference now.

Itd be SO NICE as a developer to just be able to prompt the player for a set amount of robux, and would absolutely incentivise players to spend more money (in the example of setting a dev product to be cheaper based on the percentage of skip remaining)

another bump

YES

I was hoping for a system where I could discount gamepasses for specific players based on certain variables.

this would most definitely hook more players, rather than having a flat discount for all players.

My experience could benefit from a variable cost in at least two areas (purchasing any amount of Credits & convert any amount of Experience.)

Bump - I think this is a necessity

Bump - this would be amazing and is very needed.

I honestly could see some areas where this feature could be abused (ie skyrocketing the price for a Plus/Verified user). Personally I’d be fine if one could have it variable within a bit of thresholds (maybe +/- 10%, or something?)

Then, a dev could make a devproduct for a sort of ‘price region.’ For example, a 50 Robux product that covers 45-55 robux. That allow flexibility, whilst also enabling protection for users from malicious pricing.
