Developers who meet the Commerce eligibility criteria on an on-going basis may receive Commerce privileges to sell physical products on Roblox by connecting authorized Shopify stores. As a developer with access to Commerce privileges (“Seller”), it is your responsibility to ensure that the products you list for sale and their corresponding listings on Roblox adhere to the Roblox Terms of Use, all other applicable Roblox terms and policies including these Roblox Commerce Standards, Roblox Community Standards, the Roblox Advertising Standards, and all applicable laws and regulations. Violations may result in actions against your account, including but not limited to account suspension, feature suspension, or removal of product listings.
