How do you buy and download nature images here? – Cheap Nature Images

Press buy on an image page, pay with PayPal, download the file. There is no account, no password and no mailing list.

The sequence

The button opens PayPal. When PayPal confirms the payment, this site verifies the capture against the exact image and the exact amount before releasing anything, then issues a download link tied to that purchase. The download starts by itself; if the browser blocks it, the link is on the page.

The file is the original: full dimensions, no watermark, metadata intact.

The download window

Five downloads over seven days. Enough to fetch the file on a second machine or hand it to a colleague on the same project. Short enough that a link pasted into a shared document does not become a permanent hole.

No basket

Each image is bought on its own page. At three dollars a basket would add a step and save nothing.

If you are licensing more than about twenty files for one project and want a single invoice, send the asset ids and we will arrange it.

Recovering a download

Nothing happened. Use the link on the confirmation page directly.

Tab closed too early. The purchase is recorded against the PayPal order id, not your browser session. Send the order id from your PayPal receipt and the link is reissued.

Link expired. Same answer. A licence you paid for does not lapse because a link did.

Charged but the page errored. This is the case the verification step exists for. The capture is recorded here; send the order id and the file follows. If the capture genuinely failed, PayPal will not have charged you.

Free images

Some files are free. They download with no payment step and no expiry, under the same licence. They are not a trial and never turn into a charge. If a page shows a price it is paid; if it shows a download button it is free.

What is stored

The PayPal order id, the asset id, the amount and the payer email address PayPal reports. Nothing else. No account, no profile, no marketing list, and no payment details: the card side of the transaction happens entirely inside PayPal, which is why checkout works this way rather than through a form here.

Buying on behalf of a company

There is no business account and no VAT flow here. PayPal issues the receipt, and for most buyers at this price point that receipt is the whole accounting trail.

If your finance department needs an invoice with company details on it, send the order ids and the details and we will issue one. It is a manual step rather than a self-service feature, which is a deliberate consequence of not running an account system.
