As developers are earning larger amounts of money on the platform it’s becoming more apparent that there needs to be a easy to use and in detail log of sales and earnings by custom time frame and by asset.
I’m currently in the plugin marketplace beta and there is no good way to track the earnings from my plugins. My only way to find out my earnings is to take the ‘Total Sales’ (in this case is 123) and multiply that by the price (in this case is 4085).
123 * 4,085 = 502,455 (Before Roblox take their 30% cut).
502,455 * 0.7 = 351,718 (After Roblox take their 30% cut).
I have earned 351,718 Robux from my month old plugin. However Roblox’s transaction log shows that for the entire year I’ve earned 307,718, a whole 44,000 less, and that’s not even including sales of other assets that I can’t even access data about.
A single transaction log that shows ‘Sale of Goods’ by day, week, month, and year is far too broad to be useful and when I’m told to make a support ticket to get this issue resolved I can’t give them any useful information or time frames. It’s been 3 weeks since I last got a correspondence from support and I’m still no further forward.
Better analytics and sale logs is a must for people selling assets on your platform. It’s not acceptable for developers to be cashing out hundreds of thousands of dollars but only being able to sort their overall earnings by last day, week, month, and year.
*Edit I should mention that I was reimbursed 24550 Robux for a separate bug which now makes it even more confusing for me because that amount isn’t logged anywhere.
*Edit 2:
Not sure if this would be considered related but I’ve also had an issue where my transaction log states that I’ve earned 1,037,528 but my wallet said I had 1,028,232 without spending any.
It’s far too hard to tell where earnings are coming from and where they’re going.
