How to make a game pass on Roblox

A game pass is a one-time purchase that gives a player a permanent perk in your game: VIP access, 2× cash, a special tool. It is the simplest way to earn Robux from a Roblox game. Making one has two halves — creating the pass on the Creator Hub, and scripting what it does in Studio. This guide covers both, with complete scripts.

Game pass or developer product?

Start with passes: they are simpler to script and safer to get right. Developer products need a ProcessReceipt handler that grants the item reliably even if the server restarts mid-purchase.

Step 1: Create the pass on the Creator Hub

1. 1

   Open your game's passes

   Go to create.roblox.com, open Creations, select your game, then Monetization → Passes and press Create pass.

2. 2

   Upload an icon and name it

   The icon can be up to 512×512 (.png, .jpg or .bmp) and is cropped to a circle, so keep the important part in the middle. Add a name and a description that says exactly what the buyer gets, pick a category, and press Create pass.

3. 3

   Put it on sale and set a price

   Open the pass, go to its sales settings, turn on Item for Sale and enter a price in Robux. Roblox moves these menus around from time to time; if you don't see them, check the official passes page.

4. 4

   Copy the pass ID

   In the pass list, open the ⋯ menu on your pass and choose Copy Asset ID. You'll paste this number into the scripts below.

Step 2: Script what the pass does

Insert a Script in ServerScriptService and paste this. It checks ownership when a player joins, and also grants the perk the moment someone buys it in-game — UserOwnsGamePassAsync alone can miss a purchase made during the current session.

-- ServerScriptService > GamePasses (Script)
local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local VIP_PASS_ID = 0 -- paste your pass ID here

local function grantVip(player)
	player:SetAttribute("VIP", true)
	-- Give the perk here: a tool, a 2x multiplier, a door that opens...
end

local function checkPass(player)
	local ok, owns = pcall(function()
		return MarketplaceService:UserOwnsGamePassAsync(player.UserId, VIP_PASS_ID)
	end)
	if ok and owns then
		grantVip(player)
	end
end

-- Players who already own the pass get it when they join.
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(checkPass)
for _, player in Players:GetPlayers() do
	task.spawn(checkPass, player)
end

-- Players who buy it during this session get it right away.
MarketplaceService.PromptGamePassPurchaseFinished:Connect(function(player, passId, wasPurchased)
	if wasPurchased and passId == VIP_PASS_ID then
		grantVip(player)
	end
end)

The perk is stored as a VIP attribute on the player, so any other server script can check it. For example, a 2× cash pass in a tycoon is one line:

-- In the script that pays the player (e.g. the tycoon collector):
local multiplier = owner:GetAttribute("VIP") and 2 or 1
cash.Value += value * multiplier

Step 3: A button that sells the pass

Players can buy passes from your game's Store tab, but most sales happen in-game. Add a ScreenGui named ShopGui to StarterGui, a TextButton inside it named BuyVip, and a LocalScript inside the button:

-- StarterGui > ShopGui > BuyVip (TextButton) > LocalScript
local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local VIP_PASS_ID = 0 -- the same ID as on the server

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
	MarketplaceService:PromptGamePassPurchase(Players.LocalPlayer, VIP_PASS_ID)
end)

Step 4: Test the purchase

• Press Play in Studio and click the button. The purchase window opens as a test purchase — no Robux are spent.
• After the test purchase, check that the VIP attribute appears on your player (select it in Explorer under Players while the test runs).
• If the window says the item is not for sale or nothing opens, check Output, the pass ID in both scripts, and that the pass is on sale.

What you earn

• 70% of the price. Roblox keeps 30% as a marketplace fee. A 100 Robux pass earns you 70 Robux.
• Robux arrive as pending first. Sales show as pending for a few days before you can spend or cash them out.
• Regional pricing is on by default. Roblox may lower the price in some countries (never above your price). Show prices from the API rather than typing them into your UI.
• Passes only sell inside their own game. Since mid-2026, other games can't sell your passes.

Earned Robux can later be exchanged for real money through DevEx, if you meet its requirements (age 13+, at least 30,000 earned Robux, a verified email and tax forms). The current rate is listed on Roblox's DevEx page.

Pass ideas that sell without ruining the game

• 2× cash or 2× speed of progress — the classic for tycoons and simulators.
• VIP area or chat tag — status, no gameplay advantage.
• Extra inventory or pet slots.
• A cosmetic trail or tool. Avoid “instant win” passes; they make the game boring for the buyer, too.
