What You Can Do with In-App Purchases in Roblox
Purchase Items with Robux
When you make a purchase in Roblox, you can obtain the in-game currency called Robux. Using Robux, you can purchase helpful items in various games within Roblox.
Avatars Can Also Be Purchased
In addition to in-game items, Robux is also consumed when purchasing avatars. Even if you only want to customize your avatar, you first need to make a purchase in Roblox to exchange for Robux.

Make Purchases Directly In-App
Robux, Roblox's in-game currency, can be purchased from within the app. With Robux, you can buy in-game items and avatars, allowing you to enjoy Roblox even more.
Purchase Gift Cards at Convenience Stores
Roblox sells official gift cards. There are gift cards with predetermined amounts such as 1500 yen, 3000 yen, and 5000 yen, and since the payment method is cash only, it can help prevent overspending.
Gift Cards Can Also Be Purchased on Amazon
Gift cards are also sold on Amazon, and can be purchased with either a credit card or cash. There are options where a physical gift card is sent later and options where a download code is issued immediately, so be sure to purchase the gift card that issues a download code.
Buy Gift Cards from the Official Roblox Website
You can also make purchases through gift cards from the official Roblox website. Gift cards are not only for your own purchases but are also often used as thoughtful gifts for friends.
How to Use Gift Cards
Log in to Roblox on the Browser Version
Redeeming gift card codes or download codes can only be done on the web version of Roblox. First, log in on the website with the account you want to receive Robux on.
Select 'Gift Cards' on the Left Side of the Screen

Once on the Roblox home screen, select 'Gift Cards' from the menu bar on the left. When the screen changes, select 'Redeem Card' to go to the code entry screen.
Enter the Redemption Code
When you reach the code entry screen, enter the code found on the back of your gift card or the download code issued by Amazon. Make sure to check that the login account and code are correct before redeeming the code.
Recommended Purchase Methods
Purchase Gift Cards on Amazon
If you make a purchase in-app or at a convenience store, it costs 1600 yen to buy 800 Robux. If you purchase a gift card on Amazon, you can get 800 Robux for 1200 yen, saving you 400 yen, so it's recommended to buy gift cards on Amazon when making purchases.
Be Careful Not to Buy the Physical Card Version
On Amazon, only the 'Online Code Version' offers a better deal. If you purchase the physical card version, it's no different from buying at a convenience store, and it will take time for the actual card to arrive.
Comparison of Robux Acquired: Regular Purchase vs. Amazon Purchase
| Regular Purchase | Amazon | |
| 800 Robux | 1,500 yen | 1,200 yen |
| 4,500 Robux | 8,000 yen | 6,000 yen |
| 10,000 Robux | 15,800 yen | 12,000 yen |
What to Do If You Can't Make a Purchase?
Check Your Prepaid Card Balance
If your registered payment method in Roblox is a prepaid card, try checking its balance. Be aware that if the prepaid card balance is insufficient for the purchase amount, the purchase process will not complete.
Check Your Internet Connection
If your internet connection is slow or your smartphone is running sluggishly, the purchase process may be delayed, and you might not be able to make a purchase successfully. Restarting your smartphone may resolve the issue
.Purchase Restrictions Are Enabled
If purchase restrictions are enabled in your smartphone's settings, you won't be able to make in-app purchases. Open your smartphone's settings and allow purchases from 'Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > In-app Purchases'.
How to Set Up Purchase Restrictions for Children
Apply Restrictions Directly on the Smartphone Being Used
Open the settings on the smartphone used for playing Roblox, select 'Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases > In-app Purchases', and set it to 'Don't Allow'.
For PC Version, Delete Credit Card Information
When making purchases on the PC version or web, you need to register payment information such as a credit card. If credit card information is left saved after making even one purchase, there's a possibility of unauthorized charges, so delete the registered information once your necessary purchases are complete.
