buying in

Purchasing to store

Buying in is the act of acquiring a stake or position, whether literal or figurative.

In business, it means purchasing shares or inventory: The company is buying in stock before prices rise.

More commonly, buying in describes accepting or committing to an idea, plan, or belief: The team wasn't buying in to the new strategy.

To get buy-in is to secure that acceptance from others.
