How to buy items from the Fortnite Web Shop

The Fortnite Web Shop has finally launched and players can now access their favorite items and cosmetics using their browser, instead of going in-game. The Web Shop was in development for quite a while. Now, with its release at the start of the new season, players can purchase their favorite cosmetics from the season of Absolute Doom from any device.

This article will guide you on purchasing items from the Fortnite Web Shop.

Once you have found an Item of your choice, select it and load its page. The page will provide a detailed view of the cosmetic, including alt-styles, bundle information, which Fortnite modes it will be available from, and how long it will stay in the Item Shop.


3) Purchase the selected Cosmetic

After loading the page of your selected cosmetic, you must click on the yellow Purchase button. If you have enough V-Bucks, the transaction is processed and your cosmetic is added to your inventory the next time you open Fortnite.

If you do not have enough V-Bucks, you will be asked to reload the currency. Selecting that will lead you to a different page where you are prompted to purchase V-Bucks.

The Fortnite Web Shop is a great feature that allows players to purchase their favorite cosmetics even when they cannot access the device(s) they play on.
