# Buy a Visual

> Purchase a visual and add it to your library

Premium visuals are purchased through the Marketplace. Payment is handled securely by **Stripe**, and once the purchase goes through, the visual lands in your library automatically.

<Note>
  Browsing, previewing, and the difference between free and premium visuals are covered in [Browse the Marketplace](/dashboard/marketplace/browse). This page focuses on the purchase itself.

## Buying a visual step by step

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the visual">
    In the [Marketplace](https://dashboard.xrlive.app/dashboard/marketplace), click a premium visual (it carries a **Premium** badge and a **Buy from \$\[price]** button). Its **Preview** opens.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a purchase option">
    In the preview, open the **Purchase options** dropdown and choose a plan. Some visuals are sold for a limited time — for example, *7 days · \$40.00*. Then click the **Buy** button.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Complete the checkout">
    A secure **Stripe** checkout page opens. Review the order summary, then pay with **Stripe Link** or a **card**. When the payment is approved, you're returned to the dashboard.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find it in your library">
    The visual appears in your [library](/dashboard/marketplace/my-library) right away, marked **Purchased**, and a **Purchase confirmed** [notification](/dashboard/notifications) is added to your account.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Choosing a currency

At the top of the checkout you can switch the **currency** used for payment (for example, **USD** or your local currency). The current exchange rate is shown below the selector so you can see the converted total.

<Note>
  Have a promotion code? You can redeem it directly on the Stripe checkout page before paying.
</Note>

## Time-limited purchases

When you pick a time-limited option (such as *7 days*), the visual is yours for that period. In your library it shows an **Expires** date; once it passes, purchase the visual again to keep using it.

## After purchasing

Open the xRLive Launcher — your library refreshes automatically and the new visual is ready to open.
