Please provide more explanation in your question. If you explain exactly what you are trying to accomplish, it will be much easier to answer your question correctly.

I'm making a GUI where you click a button and if you own the shirt then it will give you an item, and if you don't own it, it will prompt a purchase.

local ASSET_ID = 123456 --Asset Id here

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local MarketplaceService = game:GetService("MarketplaceService")
local PlayerOwnsAsset = MarketplaceService.PlayerOwnsAsset

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(player)
    local success, doesPlayerOwnAsset = pcall(PlayerOwnsAsset, MarketplaceService, player, ASSET_ID)
    if doesPlayerOwnAsset then
        local clone = game.ReplicatedStorage.item:Clone()
        clone.Parent = player.Backpack
    else
        game:GetService("MarketplaceService"):PromptProductPurchase(player, ASSET_ID)
    end
end)

What part of your script is the issue? Does it nit give the item? Does it not prompt the purchase? IAmNotTheReal_MePipe 418 — 4y

MouseButton1Click does not return a value so your player variable will always be nil.

In your LocalScript, you can get the current player by using

game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer

If you need more info, you can find the documentation for MouseButton1Click here
