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 world by selling permanent or temporary rewards. Users can unlock new areas of the world, customization options, limited-time benefits, and more.
Listings contain products, which are the rewards users receive for buying your listings. Users keep the rewards until the listing expires, depending on its duration type.
You can choose your listings' visibility. Listings can appear in your world store, or you can use Udon to open a listing's purchase screen directly.
Listings are similar to subscriptions.
Create a listing
You can 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.
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.
For example, you could sell:
- Spawnable items or pickups
- Short animations that everyone in the instance to see
- Virtual persistent currency
Only users who are currently in your world can buy instant listings. Otherwise, the purchase screen asks them to visit your world first.
Temporary
The duration of temporary listings is five minutes to three months. Buyers own the listing until the duration expires, similar to group subscriptions.
For example, you could sell:
- Access to temporary events, boosts, or season passes
- Cosmetics or customization options
- Trials for permanent listings
You choose the duration of a temporary listing by editing its details. Buyers can't purchase the listing again until its duration expires.
Permanent
The duration of permanent listings is unlimited. Buyers gain lifetime access to the listing.
For example, you could sell:
- Permanent access to new areas of your world
- Cosmetics or customization options
- Unlockable abilities or gimmicks
Buyers can't buy the same permanent listing more than once.
Click "Next" after choosing a duration type.

Edit your listing
You can edit the details of your listings on the My Listings page.
Details
You can freely edit all details of your listing, such as its name, description, thumbnail, price, and temporary duration.
You can also change, add, or remove products from your listing. This is helpful if you want to reorganize your store or to give your supporters additional rewards. However, be careful when removing products, as you may accidently remove benefits that your customers expect to own.
You cannot change the duration type of listings after creating them.
Delete
Click "Delete" on My Listings to delete a listing. You only delete listings that don't have any owners.
- Instant listings can always be deleted.
- Temporary listings can be deleted after you unpublish them and wait for all current owners to expire.
- Permanent listings cannot be deleted after any user has purchased them.
Visibility
The visibility of a listing depends on its status. Open the 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.
After publishing a listing, users can only see it if you added it to a world store or if you have a store inside your world.
To maximize your sales, you should use world stores and add Udon stores to your world!
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.
Udon buttons 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.
