VALORANT Mobile Shop Features: Differences with the PC version and more
Many VALORANT players want to see their store when they are away from their PC. The game’s shop changes every day, so missing a refresh can mean losing the chance to get a favorite skin. However, Riot Games does not offer an official way to check the shop on a phone. So, how do players check the VALORANT mobile shop? Here is what you need to know!
Is there an official VALORANT shop for mobile?
There is no official VALORANT mobile shop. Riot Games has not released a mobile app or in-browser tool to view the store. All in-game purchases still happen inside the PC client.
When you see “VALORANT Mobile Shop” mentioned online, it refers to community-made tools. These are not created or supported by Riot. They simply connect to your account and display the same shop items you would see in the game on PC. You can read more about the upcoming mobile release and how to pre-register for VALORANT Mobile.
Can you buy VALORANT skins on mobile?
You cannot buy VALORANT skins on mobile. Third-party tools only let you see your daily shop, bundles, and Night Market offers. If you want to buy something, you must log into the game on PC.
This means mobile access is for checking, not purchasing. It helps players decide if they should log in later to make a purchase before the store resets.
How to see VALORANT Shop on mobile
Right now, there are two popular ways to see the VALORANT shop on your phone:
1. VShop (Android)
VShop is a community-made Android app. You download it as an APK from a trusted source like its official GitHub page. After installing it, you log in with your Riot account. The app shows your daily store offers and any active Night Market items.
2. Discord Bots
Some Discord bots, like “Valorant Bot,” can show your shop inside Discord. You invite the bot to a server, log in with your Riot account, and then use commands such as /shop or /nightmarket to view your offers. This works on both mobile and desktop Discord.
How to use VALORANT shop on mobile
If you choose VShop:
- Download the APK from the official website.
- Install it on your Android device.
- Open the app and sign in with your Riot account.
- Check your store and Night Market.
If you choose a Discord bot:
- Invite the bot to your server.
- Sign in with your Riot account.
- Use shop-related commands to see your offers.
In both cases, make sure you enable two-factor authentication on your Riot account. This adds extra protection since you are entering your credentials in a third-party tool.
Are these methods safe?
These methods are widely used by the community, but they are not officially approved by Riot Games. Using them means you are trusting a third-party with your login details. While many players have used them without issues, there is always some risk when giving your account information to an outside service.
To reduce risk:
- Use only trusted sources.
- Enable two-factor authentication.
- Avoid entering your details on unknown websites or apps.
VALORANT mobile shop features
Here is what you can and cannot do on mobile right now:
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 | | Feature | Mobile (third-party) | PC (official) | | View daily shop offers | Yes | Yes | | View Night Market | Yes | Yes | | Purchase skins or bundles | No | Yes | | Official support | No | Yes | | Use on the go | Yes | No (PC only) |
Mobile tools give quick access to shop information, but they cannot replace the full PC client.
VALORANT Mobile vs. PC shop
The PC shop is part of the official VALORANT client. It allows you to browse and purchase skins, bundles, and other items. It also supports payment methods linked to your Riot account. Everything is supported directly by Riot.
The mobile shop, through VShop or Discord bots, only shows you the offers currently available. It has no purchase function and no official support. It lets you to check your store from anywhere. The disadvantage is that you must use third-party services and cannot complete purchases until you log into the PC client.

Why players use the mobile shop
Players use mobile tools for two main reasons:
- To avoid missing a limited-time skin or bundle. The VALORANT store refreshes every 24 hours, so it is easy to miss an item if you cannot log in on PC.
- To plan purchases. If you see a skin you like in your mobile shop check, you can decide to log into your PC later to buy it.
This is especially useful for players who travel often, are at work or school, or have limited PC access during the day. With VALORANT Mobile gaining traction and over 40 million pre-registrations in China, interest in mobile-friendly features is likely to grow.
For the safest experience, always buy items directly through the PC client. Use mobile tools only for checking offers, and make sure your Riot account has two-factor authentication turned on. If Riot releases an official mobile shop in the future, it will likely combine the convenience of mobile access with the security and features of the PC client.
