Find out how to start acquiring data by reading how to acquire data.
When acquiring a paid offering, there are two different methods for paying the data provider:
Method 1: Credit card payment via Stripe

- After the data provider validates your acquisition request, you will be able to complete your acquisition with a transaction on Stripe. 
- Enter your bank account details and click on “Pay”. 
- After properly completing payment, you will be redirected to “Transactions”. You will see the transaction listed with “Transaction validated” status and you may access the acquired data. 
Method 2: Transaction outside the platform via direct payment
This method is used if the data provider did not set up a Stripe account, or if the transaction is not eligible for currency or geographical reasons. In that case, the entire monetary transaction is conducted outside the platform.
- This payment method requires prior discussion with the data provider regarding the desired non-platform payment method to use. Payment is therefore not handled on the Data Exchange Platform. 
- Once the acquisition is validated, you will be able to obtain the data in the offering directly via “Transactions > Acquirer”.
