What does dev product do?

I made a free model and in the free model theres a bool value which if turned to true requires a asset which loads my donation model.

i make it very clear that they should turn it on if they want to support me but it will interfere with gameplay and option but free to do.

im having some trouble with the donation model becuase im unsure if when they buy a donation to support me it gives it to me or gets lost. Do Dev Products from 3rd parties give the original creator the money?

heres another thing to help explain situation

account 1: created DEV PRODUCT
account 2: Uses free model and turns ā€˜DONATEā€™ to true
account 3 (PLAYER): buys something
account 1:recieves the money since it was account 1ā€™s id.

how script works

--if they set value to true then
--(Trigger a Asset request and get the donate gui asset into startergui)```


--can i use DEV PRODUCTS from my game to sell the donate Dev Products?

If itā€™s your gamepass, yes, you will receive the funds if purchased by players in other games. This will not work in games with ā€œAllow third party salesā€ disabled. Also, you can simply prompt a player the purchase and use the following code

game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):PromptGamePassPurchase(Player, "GAMEPASS_ID")

if ALLOW THIRD PARTIES IS ENABLED will it do the process of

account 1: created DEV PRODUCT
account 2: Uses free model and turns ā€˜DONATEā€™ to true
account 3 (PLAYER): buys something
account 1:recieves the money since it was account 1ā€™s id.

OR WILL IT JUST DELETE THE ROBUX?

#4

Yes that is correct. The owner of the game MAY receive a portion of the income, Iā€™m not overly sure.

#5

have you ever tested the process or see somone else go through it? 2 people have told me the donate wont work (reason for making post)

#6

I recall earning third party profit, although it may not have been. I donā€™t overly know though. What else would be the point of third party selling?

#7

they said it was for group gamepasses and transfering purchased data from websites to multiple games (through mutliple groups)

#8

Well, the robux would go to you, if its your product ID. Dev products are effectively gamepasses, that you can buy multiple times with no limits, or without having to delete it from your inventory

#9

You mean group clothing? Groups donā€™t have gamepasses

Even still, that may be different from actual passes from games

remember it would have to work for a completely random different person who wouldnt be related or even know me in any way. they just felt nice and turned donations on in the script activating the gui. if i recall the only way to make a dev product is to make it through the configuratation of a single gane.

Third party sales wouldnā€™t exist just to annoy people but for people to earn from other peoples games. I guarantee you would earn 3rd party profit IF the player has the correct settings enabled, not sure who told you otherwise

ill see if i make any robux after a month of selling the free model and if i dont then either nobody cares about supporting me or the system doesnt work. (either way would be telling me this entire thing wont work out) but if i do then yay
