**Price optimization** lets you find the best price points for your passes and developer products, which can help you earn more money over time while keeping your prices competitive. When you run a price test, subsets of your users see different prices for the same product. At the end of the test, you receive recommendations for the prices that performed best with your audience.

Before using price optimization, you should use the [dynamic price check tool](#use-the-dynamic-price-check-tool) to make sure product prices are dynamically scripted inside your experience. After using price optimization, you can run a [price review period](#run-a-price-review-period) to track the long-term revenue impact of your price changes.

Price optimization can't collect data from and make changes to prices you have hard-coded into your experience. To run a price optimization test on products with hard-coded prices, you must first update them to be dynamically scripted.

Dynamically scripted prices update through `Class.MarketplaceService|MarketplaceService` and use functions like `Class.MarketplaceService:GetProductInfo()|GetProductInfo()` and `Class.MarketplaceService:GetDeveloperProductsAsync()|GetDeveloperProductsAsync()` to retrieve and display product prices you have set through the Creator Hub.

With Regional Pricing, you can offer region-specific prices for your passes and build a more inclusive and accessible global economy. After you determine a default global price for a pass, Roblox uses a variety of signals like the region's purchasing power, currency exchange rates, and local spending behavior to set the most appropriate price for that pass region by region.
7
+
8
+
You can choose which of your passes you want to price regionally. When you enable Regional Pricing for a pass in your experience, Roblox automatically adjusts the price of that pass for users based on their economic location. Economic location is not always the same as account location. To determine a user's economic location, Roblox looks at signals, including VPN usage, billing history, and account history. If their economic location can't be determined, users see the default global price for the pass instead.

When you enable Regional Pricing for a pass, the price of the pass adjusts for users in different regions whether it's for sale inside or outside of your experience. However, if you have hard-coded the price into your experience's UI, that number does not update as it's not dynamic or accessible by Roblox. As a result, users are charged the correct region-specific price but the UI still shows them the hard-coded value.
34
+
35
+
The **dynamic price check** tool updates all products for sale inside your experience with a fake Robux price or a fake economic location to help you identify which prices are hard-coded in your experience's UI and which are dynamically-scripted with `Class.MarketplaceService|MarketplaceService` and called from a client script. After you have identified the hard-coded passes, you can update them to use `MarketplaceService` functions.
