+# Acquire apps in Windows Store for Business
+As an admin, you can acquire apps from the Windows Store for Business for your employees. Some apps are free, and some have a price. For info on app types that are supported, see [Apps in the Windows Store for Business](apps-in-windows-store-for-business.md).
+
+## App licensing model
+The Business store supports two options to license apps: online and offline. **Online** licensing is the default licensing model and is similar to the Windows Store. Online licensed apps require users and devices to connect to the Store for Business service to acquire an app and its license. **Offline** licensing is a new licensing option for Windows 10. With offline licenses, organizations can cache apps and their licenses to deploy within their network. ISVs or devs can opt-in their apps for offline licensing when they submit them to the developer center.
+
+For more information, see [Apps in the Windows Store for Business](apps-in-windows-store-for-business.md). 
+
+## Payment options
+Some apps are free, and some have a price. Apps can be purchased in the Windows Store for Business using your credit card. You can enter your credit card information on **Account Information**, or when you purchase an app. Currently, we accept these credit cards:
+- VISA 
+- MasterCard 
+- Discover 
+- American Express 
+- Japan Commercial Bureau (JCB)
+
+## Organization info
+There are a couple of things we need to know when you pay for apps. You can add this info to the **Account information**  page before you buy apps. If you haven’t provided it, we’ll ask when you make a purchase. Either way works. Here’s the info you’ll need to provide:
+- Legal business address
+- Payment option (credit card)
+
+You can add payment info on **Account information**. If you don’t have one saved with your account, you’ll be prompted to provide one when you buy an app.
