Avatar Marketplace (AVM) is a feature of VRChat’s Creator Economy, providing a platform for creators to sell monetized avatars directly within VRChat using VRC Credits.

Overview

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 VRChat SDK.

Selecting the Avatars Quick Link in the Quick Menu opens the Avatar tab in the Main Menu, defaulting to the Explore section. This section features both free public avatars and paid avatars available via the Marketplace.

Product listings

Each avatar listing includes images, a preview of the base model and 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.

Purchasing avatars

Purchasing an avatar with the Avatar Marketplace requires sufficient VRChat Credits on your account's wallet before an avatar is bought. Users on Steam, and Meta systems are currently able to purchase credits[1] at a minimum quantity of 600, up to a maximum of 12,000 per purchase.

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.

Selling on the Avatar Marketplace
