Making changes to your Roblox products in Shopify

If you update certain product details in your Shopify admin for a product that's already synced to Roblox, then your changes don't immediately display in Roblox.

If you change a product's title, update a product description, or add new product images, then your changes don't display until they've been reviewed by Roblox. The product remains available to sell with its previously approved content. The review can take up to 5 business days.

If you have a Shopify product that's bundled with a virtual benefit in Roblox, and you update the price of the product in your Shopify admin, then the related commerce product in Roblox is deactivated and can't be sold until it's been processed again for digital bundling fees.

Checkout experience for gamers using Roblox

When gamers purchase products from your experience, they complete their transaction using the Shopify checkout on the Roblox platform.

A gamer taps a button to view a product when the option displays, and then they can select any relevant options for the product that they're purchasing, such as size or color.

The gamer then completes their purchase on the Shopify checkout, and any linked avatar item or developer product is granted.
