Points: What are they and why do you use them?

This article explains what points are, how to purchase them, and how they are used within Boom.

What are points?

Points are credits you purchase to redeem for content offered in the Store, such as decks, images, and fonts. Points are separate from Membership. You can learn more about the difference here.

Why points instead of direct payment?

Points allow you to make very small purchases (such as a $.05 image or $2.00 font) that would otherwise involve fees. You also have the option of purchasing with cash. Small carts are subject to a convenience fee.

How do I buy points? 

You can buy points by going to the Featured section of the Boom Store and clicking on the package you'd like:

You can also purchase points from the Membership tab of your account settings. This page will show you your points balance as well. Click on the "Buy Points" button and select which package you'd like to purchase:
