# Blueprints introduction

## Introduction

### Patchworks blueprints

A Patchworks blueprint contains everything you need to perform a specific task - for example, to sync orders between *Shopify* and *Virtualstock Supplier*.

You can browse and purchase blueprints from the [Patchworks website](https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/release-information/core-release-notes/2024-08-29-release-notes-core). Having purchased a blueprint, it is added to your company profile and becomes available in the [blueprints section of the Patchworks marketplace](/product-documentation/marketplace/marketplace-blueprints.md).

### Private blueprints

A private blueprint blueprint is a blueprint that you build and publish to your [private marketplace](/product-documentation/marketplace/private-marketplaces.md). The most typical use case for a private blueprint is if you manage [multiple company profiles](/product-documentation/company-management/multi-company-profiles.md) and need to share a collection of process flows between them.
