Streamlining and Clarification

April 30, 2024

Bot Added Change

We've streamlined some features to improve user experience:

• You can now import products to a new store from Vendr! Unfortunately, there is no current way to transfer licenses to InStore from Vendr due to Vendr limitations, but this is in the works. Try it out!

• /managestore create now only requires a license-id, and you no longer have to publish a blank Roblox place to obtain a place-id. The place-id is now obtained automatically when a user first joins the store hub.

• Require a user be assigned to a license via the /license create command to avoid ghost licenses accidentally being created.

• Recipients are now DMed when a license is created using /license create.

• License count of each product is now listed in /store products.

We've also clarified some errors:

• Errors regarding unique entries such as product names, developer product IDs, etc will now tell you what failed.

An Update for the Record Books

April 22, 2024

Bot API Added Change Breaking

It's here...

The moment we've all been waiting for...

Insource VERSION 3!

I know, I know. This took way, way longer than any of us expected. But we dumped our heart and soul into making this major update the greatest thing since sliced bread... Okay, that might be an exaggeration. But seriously, check out what we've done!

What exactly happened?

Starting with what's most noticeable to you: It looks better! Commands have been reworked, and the frontend of InStore looks better than ever!

Our backend and frontend frameworks have been completely rewritten with a more stable and reliable codebase, supported by well-known packages that align with our style better. This enhances security and performance of our services.

We have implemented better error handling and logging. This helps our developers maintain our expected 99% service uptime, and assists with pinpointing any issues we may encounter along the way.

Our database and the way we store your data has been completely refactored to better align with best practices of security and performance. This helps to reduce the strain on our servers, ensure fast response times from our services, and maintain the integrity of your data.

What do I have to do?

If you use InStore and are migrating from v2, you are required to publish the new format of InStore hubs. This can be obtained in an existing store via /managestore regenerate-token. This will provide you with a Roblox Place File to download and overwrite the v2 store.

As part of a housekeeping effort, stores that do not update to v3 within 30 days of this release will be considered inactive and given a notice of deletion. The store owner will have 14 days from that notice to appeal it with our support team. If at the end of those 14 days, nothing has changed, all store data will be permanently deleted.

You should check out the new settings and configure the bot to your needs.

You should also review the new commands and their functionality to ensure you know how everything works. There is a lot of "similar, but different" to get used to. Although we understand change can be difficult, these were necessary changes that benefit the long run.
