# Welcome to Updatr

Updatr is a marketplace and licensing platform for Roblox developers. You publish a product once, and Updatr handles delivery, per-buyer license keys, and pushing updates to everyone who owns it.

## What you can do

**Sell your work.** Publish scripts, models, plugins, and systems to your own branded storefront. Set a price in Robux, or give products away for free.

{% hint style="info" %}
Every studio gets a storefront at `updatr.merithic.com/store/<your-studio>`, and the address follows your studio name. See [Your storefront](/merithic-docs/selling/storefront.md).
{% endhint %}

**License what you sell.** Each buyer gets a key tied to their Roblox account. Your product checks that key at runtime, so a leaked copy doesn't run.

**Ship updates.** Push a new version and every licensed installation picks it up automatically. No re-downloads, no messages telling people to update.

**Protect your source.** [Obfuscator+](/merithic-docs/selling/obfuscator.md) runs your code through a protector before buyers ever receive it, on demand or automatically on every download.

**Get help from Stishy.** An [AI assistant](/merithic-docs/selling/stishy.md) built into your dashboard that answers questions about your store and, with your approval, makes changes for you.

## How it fits together

```
Your studio
  └── Products          what you sell
        ├── Licenses    who owns it (one per buyer, per product)
        └── Versions    what they receive, and what updates to
```

A **studio** is your workspace. It owns your products, your storefront, and your collaborators. A **product** is one thing you sell. A **license** is one buyer's right to use it, carrying a key unique to them.

## Two identities

Updatr uses two accounts, and they do different jobs:

| Account     | What it's for                                                                         |
| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Discord** | Signing in. This is your login.                                                       |
| **Roblox**  | Everything else. Products, licenses, and purchases all belong to your Roblox account. |

You sign in with Discord, then link your Roblox account once. See [Linking your Roblox account](/merithic-docs/getting-started/linking-roblox.md).

## Where to start

{% endcontent-ref %}

If you're here to **buy** something, start at [Finding and buying products](/merithic-docs/buying/buying.md).

If you're here to **sell**, start at [Publishing a product](/merithic-docs/selling/publishing.md).

If you're integrating a game or plugin with the API, start at [API overview](/merithic-docs/api-reference/overview.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://merithic.gitbook.io/merithic-docs/readme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
