buy now

One-click acquisition prompt

Buy now is a call to action urging immediate purchase, ubiquitous in advertising and e-commerce.

The phrase creates urgency, often paired with limited-time offers: Buy now and save 20%, Buy now, pay later.

On websites, buy now buttons bypass shopping carts for instant checkout.

The phrase has become so associated with consumerism that it sometimes appears ironically to critique impulse purchasing.
