How can I buy images?
-Pay with credits:
Create an account and purchase VIShopper credits. One image costs one credit (except the free ones). There are two options for acquiring credits: you can buy a credit pack or opt for a monthly or annual subscription plan. The price of one credit depends on how many credits you buy at once or which subscription plan you choose. Using this option the price of one image can be as low as $0.40. You can see the pricing system here.

What is the difference between credit packs and subscription?
Credit packs are better if you have a more fluctuating need of cut out images as the credits from credit packs do not expire. The subscriptions have a rollover system, but the credits will remain available only if you have an active subscription plan.
I already have credits, but want to join the subscription system. What will happen to my credits?
What will happen to my unused credits when I cancel my subscription?
How can I cancel my subscription?
To cancel the monthly subscription just go to the page "My Plans" and click "Unsubscribe". This way your subscription will simply expire at the end of the monthly commitment period. The subscription credits will be available for use until the end of the monthly commitment period
For annual subscription:
You can't cancel the annual subscription until the end of the first annual commitment period. After the first year the annual commitment will automatically switch to a monthly commitment
with the same monthly fee as the annual subscription you had chosen and you can cancel any time.
How can I change my subscription?
You can upgrade to an annual plan or change to a cheaper or more expensive monthly plan any time. This will terminate your current subscription immediately and replace it with the new plan.
Be aware that the unused subscription credits will not roll over to the new subscription, but will be terminated with the subscription. Therefore we advise you to spend all the credits of your current subscription before changing it.
For yearly subscription:
You can only upgrade to a more expensive annual plan. The same thing applies to the current plan subscription credits as described above: the unused subscription credits will not roll over
to the new subscription, but will be terminated with the subscription. Therefore we advise you to spend all the credits of your current subscription before changing it.
What is the Lightbox?
Lightbox is a place that allows you to save selected images that you would like to eventually download, a kind of intermediate step between searching and buying. You can easily add and remove images from your Lightbox before proceeding to pay. You can also skip this step, if you want to, and download an image straight from the search results page or the image's personal page.
Can I download the same image more than once?
Yes. After you have purchased an image (or just downloaded it in case of the free products) it will be stored in your 'my files' area, where you can access and download it again in the future. There is no time limit. You can also access your bought images on all category pages. Just check the box "Show only bought images" in the upper left corner of the page.
What payment methods can I use?
PayPal or credit card, all major credit cards are accepted. If these methods don't work for you, you can send us a request and we'll send you a regular invoice to be paid by wire transfer.
