How To Make Your Roblox Gamepass Cost Money

Roblox developers can monetize their creations by selling gamepasses. A gamepass grants players special abilities, exclusive items, or access to premium areas. This article explains step‑by‑step how to set a price for your gamepass, script its purchase, and ensure you receive real Robux revenue.

Understanding Gamepasses

A gamepass is a one‑time purchase that is linked to a specific place in your game. Once a player owns the pass, Roblox records the ownership and your scripts can check for it. Pricing a gamepass correctly is crucial because it directly influences player conversion and your earnings.

Creating a Gamepass in Roblox Studio

Open Roblox Studio and load the place you want to monetize.
In the Explorer window, right‑click Game Settings and select Game Passes.
Click Create New Pass. Upload an image, give the pass a name, and write a concise description.
When the pass appears in the list, click Configure to open the gamepass details page on the Roblox website.

Setting the Price

Roblox lets you price a gamepass in Robux. Follow these steps to assign a cost:

On the gamepass configuration page, locate the Price field.
Enter the amount of Robux you want to charge. The minimum is 10 Robux; the maximum is 10,000 Robux.
Click Save. The price you set will appear to players when they view the gamepass in the catalog.

When choosing a price, consider the value of the content you’re offering. A balanced price encourages purchases without alienating your player base.

How To Script the Purchase

Roblox provides the MarketplaceService API to handle gamepass transactions. In this tutorial I show you how to script a simple purchase flow.

Create a Script in ServerScriptService and insert the following code:

local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService") local PASS_ID = 12345678 -- replace with your own gamepass ID local function promptPurchase(player) MarketplaceService:PromptGamePassPurchase(player, PASS_ID) end local function onPurchaseFinished(player, passId, wasPurchased) if wasPurchased and passId == PASS_ID then -- Grant the player the benefit of the gamepass print(player.Name .. " bought the gamepass!") -- Example: give a special
