Listings
Submit an application if you want to join the Creator Economy!
The page below is only relevant to sellers with access to VRChat's Creator Economy.
Listings allow you to monetize your VRChat content by selling rewards, such as unlocking avatars or world features.
Users can buy listings, which contain products. Each listing can contain 1-15 products. Users keep the products until the listing expires, depending on its duration type. For example, permanent listings never expire, and instant listings expire immediately.
You can choose your listing's visibility. Listings can appear in your store, or you can use Udon in your world to open a listing directly, even if your store is not published.
Listings are similar to subscriptions.
Create a listing
Create your first listing by following the steps below:
1. Create new listing
Open the My Listings section of your Storefront on VRChat.com to create a listing.
Click "Create Listing" to create your first listing.
After creating your first listing, return to this screen to edit, publish, unpublish, or delete your listings.
2. Duration Type
Choose one of the three duration type for your listing:
- Instant
- Temporary
- Permanent
You cannot change the type after creating your listing.
The differences between duration types are explained below.
♾️Permanent
The duration of permanent listings is unlimited. Buyers gain lifetime access to the listing.
You can add the following products:
For example, you could sell permanent access to avatars, world features, or world cosmetics.
⌛Temporary
The duration of temporary listings is five minutes to three months. Buyers own the listing until the duration expires, similar to group subscriptions.
You can add the following products:
For example, you could sell temporary benefits for your VRChat world, such as boosts, cosmetics, features, or trials.
You choose the duration of a temporary listing by editing its details. Buyers can't purchase the listing again until its duration expires.
⚡Instant
Instant listings do not have a duration. Instead, you give buyers an immediate reward with Udon. Buyers can purchase the listing as many times as they want.
You can add the following products:
For example, you could sell spawnable items, pickups, animations, or virtual persistent currencies for your world.
Only users who are currently in your world can buy instant listings. Otherwise, the purchase screen asks them to visit your world first.

Visibility
The visibility of a listing depends on its status. Open My Listings to change the status of your listings:
- "Published" listings can be purchased by users.
- "Draft" listings cannot be purchased by users. If users already purchased the listing, they keep it.
If your listing contains any avatar products, it's automatically published on VRChat's avatar marketplace. In addition, you may add it to a world store.
If your listing does not contain any avatar products, users can only find it if you add it to your world store or if you have a store prefab in your world that uses Udon to open listings. (Use both to make your listings easier to find.)
Use a combination of stores and Udon store prefabs to make your world listings easier for users to find.
World stores
- Users see your world store when looking at your world in VRChat's menu.
- World stores are easy to create and manage from the Store Manager
- The world store is visible when users look at your world details in VRChat's menu.
- Users don't have to be in your world to use your world store.
Avatar marketplace
- If your published listing contains any avatar products, users automatically see your listing on the avatar marketplace.
Udon store prefabs in your world
- You can use Udon to create "Buy" buttons or custom stores inside your world.
- The Open Listing prefab allows you to easily add a "Buy" button that users can press when visiting your world.
- You can also create "hidden" listings that users can't find in your world store or elsewhere.
- If you're experienced with Udon, write your Udon scripts with the Store.OpenListing method.
Refunds
Refunds are processed on a case-by-case basis by VRChat. You cannot directly issue refunds to your buyers. If you need help issuing refunds to buyers of your listings, please contact VRChat.
