# Marketplace blueprints

## Introduction

A Patchworks blueprint contains everything you need to perform a specific task - for example, to sync orders between *Shopify* and *Virtualstock Supplier*.&#x20;

When you [install a blueprint](https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/blueprints/patchworks-blueprints/installing-a-patchworks-blueprint), all of its components (connectors, process flows, scripts, etc.) are installed and added to the relevant area of your Patchworks dashboard - connectors are added to your [connectors page](https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/process-flows/cross-reference-lookups/accessing-cross-reference-lookups), process flows are added to your [process flows list](https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/process-flows/accessing-your-process-flows), custom scripts are added to [your scripts list,](https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/developer-hub/custom-scripting/accessing-custom-scripts) etc.&#x20;

From here you can complete the required setup (as documented for each blueprint) and get started!

## Browsing & purchasing blueprints

Blueprints can be purchased from the [Patchworks website](https://www.wearepatchworks.com/collections/blueprint#Landing). Having purchased a blueprint, it will be available to install from the **blueprints** tab in the marketplace:&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Having purchased a blueprint from the [Patchworks websit](https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/release-information/core-release-notes/2024-08-29-release-notes-core)e, it becomes available in your dashboard marketplace within 24 hours.
{% endhint %}

Once a blueprint becomes available in your marketplace, you'll see it displayed as a tile which includes a visual summary of component parts - for example:

<div align="left"><figure><img src="https://2440044887-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FLYNcUBVQwSkOMG6KjZfz%2Fuploads%2FCAOHKwajYEPIclcp9v1r%2Fblueprint%20tile%202.png?alt=media&#x26;token=439f21f9-4ec2-42f1-90f4-55ae11e6df4a" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure></div>

Here you can see which connectors are included in the blueprint, the blueprint title and creator, and a summary of contents. Summary icons are:
