Time limited catalog item (EconomyV2)

Is there any good way to setting up limited item which player can buy only certain time?

I tried to implement this with store. I setup catalog item without price setting. I apply new price in store and set up start date and end date in store data. I expected that item listed in the store can only be purchased from store start date to store end date through store. But I was able to buy item if I have store id since expired store data seems to be valid.

Do I need to update item price data when I want to disable purchasing? Thank you.

We just noticed this store behavior the other day and consider it a bug. We have plans to prevent purchases from a store that is expired in the near future.

Thank you for your reply, and I'm sorry for the late reply.

I'm glad to hear that this behavior will be changed soon.

This is very important when we prepare good store system in game!

I tested purchase item from store and the item doesn’t have end date, successful purchase. Then, I add end date(past time) for the item, it returns “cannot be purchased”. As tested, Store end date won’t influence purchase even the end date had passed. So, you can add end date for the limited item to meet your requests. 6766-image.png 6776-image.png
