Introducing the Avatar Marketplace | VRChat Developer Update<br />
|thumb=File:YTThumb_MWH1RA3bEz0_AVM.webp}}}}<br />
'''Avatar Marketplace''' (AVM) is a feature of VRChat’s [[Special:MyLanguage/Creator Economy|Creator Economy]], providing a platform for creators to sell monetized [[Special:MyLanguage/avatars|avatars]] directly within VRChat using [[Special:MyLanguage/Creator Economy#VRChat_Credits|VRC Credits]].<br />
<br />
== Overview ==<br />
The Avatar Marketplace allows for users to buy and use avatars from creators natively within VRChat, streamlining the process compared to third-party platforms. Purchased avatars can be immediately used without uploading them via Unity or the [[Special:MyLanguage/VRChat SDK|VRChat SDK]].<br />
<br />
Selecting the '''Avatars''' Quick Link in the [[Special:MyLanguage/Quick Menu|Quick Menu]] opens the Avatar tab in the [[Special:MyLanguage/Main Menu|Main Menu]], defaulting to the '''Explore''' section. This section features both free [[Special:MyLanguage/Public Avatars|public avatars]] and paid avatars available via the Marketplace.<br />
<!--It will need to be noted that the '''Marketplace''' tab in the Main Menu will likely do the same thing; this still needs to be implemented, and will likely be available before AVM goes live. Remove this comment when the Marketplace tab gets mentioned. ~DAG-XR (05.25.2025)--><br />

== Product listings ==<br />
[[File:AVM-ProductListingExample.webp|thumb|An example of a marketplace listing.]]<br />
Each avatar listing includes images, a preview of the base model and [[Special:MyLanguage/Impostors|impostor]] (if available), a description, price, file size, upload date, performance ranking, and relevant tags. Listings also show avatar features such as platform compatibility, visemes, eye look support, Impostors, and performance breakdowns. Avatars can also be previewed locally before purchase, only the user will see the avatar during this preview.<br />
== Purchasing avatars ==<br />
Purchasing an avatar with the Avatar Marketplace requires sufficient VRChat Credits on your [[Special:MyLanguage/VRChat account|account's]] wallet before an avatar is bought. Users on Steam, and Meta systems are currently able to purchase credits<ref>[https://help.vrchat.com/hc/en-us/articles/23255458227987-Creator-Economy-Frequently-Asked-Questions 'Creator Economy: Frequently Asked Questions'] on ''help.vrchat.com''; retrieved May 25, 2025.</ref> at a minimum quantity of 600, up to a maximum of {{formatnum:12,000}} per purchase.<br />
<br />
When a user has sufficient credits, they can purchase an avatar, which becomes bound to their VRChat account. Users are not yet able to purchase avatars for other users, or have the ability to download or modify their purchased avatar(s) using the VRChat SDK.<br />

== Selling on the Avatar Marketplace ==<br />
[[File:Vrcshop_anime.webp|thumb|Various avatars can be browsed in the [[Special:MyLanguage/Shop|Shop]]]]<br />

<br />
Creators interested in selling avatars on the Avatar Marketplace, are required to review the Creator Economy Program terms and conditions<ref>[https://hello.vrchat.com/legal/economy 'Creator Economy Program Rules'] on ''hello.vrchat.com''; retrieved May 25, 2025.</ref>, and must [https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/vrc-econ-apply submit an enrollment application] to be reviewed by VRChat, and approved.<br />
[[File:Vrcshop_animefilters.webp||thumb|200x200px|Similarly, various tags can be found through filtering within the Shop.]]<br />
It should be noted that the Creator Economy program for worlds and groups is separate from the Avatar Marketplace program and must be applied for separately, even if the creator is already in Creator Economy for worlds and groups.<br />
