Roblox has unveiled a major advancement in digital commerce: in-game shopping for physical merchandise. This feature transforms the platform into a fully integrated e-commerce ecosystem.

Roblox Now Supports Physical Product Purchases In-Game

For the first time, Roblox users can purchase real-world products directly within immersive game environments. Leveraging new Commerce APIs, developers and brands can now create seamless in-experience shopping experiences, converting players into customers without ever leaving the platform.

Shopify Integration Bridges Physical and Digital Worlds

Roblox’s partnership with Shopify marks a bold step in unifying digital gameplay and physical commerce. Eligible creators and companies can sync their Shopify product catalogs into Roblox games, opening a new, native sales channel optimized for Gen Z consumers.

Bundled Physical and Digital Items

One of the most innovative aspects of this launch is the ability to bundle exclusive digital avatar items with physical purchases. This feature enhances perceived value and deepens customer connection by linking real-world ownership to virtual identity.

Approved Merchandiser Program Extends Brand Influence

Through the Approved Merchandiser Program, IP holders and merchants can link physical products sold off-platform to redeemable digital items on Roblox. This program creates cohesive, cross-channel brand engagement and enhances licensing opportunities in the metaverse.
