The Unity Asset Store offers a wide range of free and commercial assets to enhance your projects, games, or applications. To purchase assets, visit the Asset Store website, search or browse for desired assets, add them to your cart, and complete the checkout process. For Unity Editor versions before 2020.1, access the Asset Store window within the Editor. After purchase, download assets using the Package Manager.
Symptoms:

- Where do I find assets to buy?
- How do I purchase an asset on the Asset Store?
Cause:
The Unity Asset Store is home to a growing library of free and commercial assets created by Unity Technologies and community members.
A wide variety of assets are available, covering everything from textures, models, and animations, to whole project examples, tutorials, and extension assets.
The content available on the Asset Store helps to improve your project, game, or application and reduces the workload needed to create tools or models from scratch.
Assets can be purchased on the Asset Store website and added to your projects using the Package Manager within the Editor.

To browse and purchase assets on the Asset Store, follow these steps:
- Navigate to the Unity Asset Store.
- Search for the asset you are looking for using the Search box. Alternatively, browse the categories using the drop-down menus at the top of the page.
- Once you have found the asset you are looking to purchase, select the asset to view the product details and click Add to Cart.
- Click Checkout to be taken to the payment stage.
- Complete all required fields and enter your payment details. Click to agree to the terms on the right and click Pay now to complete the order. If you have a discount code or coupon, enter it into the box before confirming the order.

As of Editor version 2020.1, the Asset Store window is no longer present in the editor, so you must use the store page itself.
Once you've successfully completed your purchase, see the article How do I download an asset?.
