The Create Your Own UGC Store update for Roblox Catalog Avatar Creator gives players and creators a more customizable way to showcase avatar items in one place. If you like browsing UGC, checking out mannequin displays, or seeing how a creator-owned shop can be organized, this update is worth exploring.
At a high level, the update centers on a UGC homestore style setup: a space where avatar items can be shown on mannequins and sold through an integrated catalog interface. For players, that means a cleaner shopping experience. For creators, it means more control over how items are presented inside the game.
What the UGC store update adds
This update is built around a homestore template that makes it easier to create a personalized storefront. Based on the official Roblox Creator Hub documentation, the main features include:
| Feature | What it does |
|---|---|
| Mannequins | Show avatar items in 3D and let users interact with them |
| Integrated shop | Opens a catalog from a bottom-screen shop button |
| Modular building parts | Lets creators build and theme the shopfront |
For regular players, the most noticeable change is the store presentation. Instead of a plain catalog listing, items can be displayed on mannequins and arranged inside a themed shop environment.
How it works in Catalog Avatar Creator
In Catalog Avatar Creator, the update is designed to help creators build a more personalized UGC shop experience. The store can act as a showcase for accessories, bundles, and other avatar items, depending on how the creator sets up the homestore.
A few important behaviors are worth knowing:
- If the place is unpublished, the homestore may show Roblox-created items as a reference.
- If the place is published, the shop can show the current game owner’s available marketplace items.
- If the owner has no available marketplace items, the catalog may appear empty.
- Creators can also configure the store to reference a different creator’s catalog.
That means what you see in-game can vary depending on whether the experience is published and how the store is configured.
What players can expect to see
When you enter a Catalog Avatar Creator experience using this update, you may notice:
- Avatar items shown on mannequins
- A shop button at the bottom of the screen
- A catalog panel with available creator items
- A more customized storefront layout instead of a basic menu
The shop is meant to feel like a dedicated UGC browsing area. If the creator has set up their storefront well, you may be able to preview items in a more visual way before buying them.
Mannequin customization details
The mannequins are one of the most useful parts of the update. Creators can customize them with attributes that change what is displayed.
| Attribute | What it controls |
|---|---|
| accessoryIds | Accessories shown on the mannequin |
| bundleIds | Bundles shown on the mannequin |
| poseAnimation | The mannequin’s pose or looping animation |
| skinColor | The mannequin’s skin tone |
If you are just playing the game, this means you may see different mannequins depending on the shop theme or item lineup. If you are a creator, these options give you a lot of flexibility without needing a heavy scripting setup.
Catalog behavior you should know
The catalog in this update follows a few simple rules:
| Situation | What happens |
|---|---|
| Place is unpublished | Shows Roblox marketplace items as a reference |
| Place is published | Shows the current owner’s marketplace items |
| Owner has no items | No items may display |
| Default creator is set | Shop can show that creator’s catalog instead |
| Default creator is empty | Shop may show the full marketplace catalog |
If you are browsing as a player, this is why the shop may look different from one server or experience to another.
Creator setup basics
Roblox’s documentation notes that creators who want to use another creator’s marketplace items need to make a few settings changes. In general, they should:
- Enable Allow Third Party Sales in Experience Settings.
- Make sure the marketplace items are allowed for sale in the proper locations.
- Open the Settings ModuleScript in ReplicatedStorage.
- Set the default creator name if needed.
- Turn off automatic fetching if they want the shop to always use the selected creator.
For players, the main takeaway is simple: the store can be tailored to a specific creator’s lineup, so the items you see may reflect that creator’s catalog rather than a generic marketplace feed.
Why this update matters for Catalog Avatar Creator
This update is useful because it turns a standard catalog area into something more like a branded shop. That benefits both sides:
- Players get a clearer, more visual shopping space
- Creators get a better way to present their UGC items
- Shops can match a specific theme or identity
- Item discovery can feel more organized
If Catalog Avatar Creator continues to expand this kind of storefront system, players may see even more themed UGC shops and interactive item displays in future updates.
Tips for exploring the update in-game

Is the update worth checking out?
