A vendor is NOT the same as a shop. While a shop offers a complete storefront for browsing and immediate purchases, a vendor provides a link that grants access to the product rather than facilitating an instant transaction. Once you make your purchase through the vendor’s link, there is usually a waiting period—typically between 0 to 2 hours—during which the order is processed and the final access link is generated. It is important to stay cautious: always verify the legitimacy of the link and ensure that your payment is made through secure channels.
