purchasable

Purchasable is an adjective meaning capable of being bought; available for purchase under stated terms and conditions. In commercial contexts, a purchasable item can be obtained through a sale, typically subject to price, payment options, shipping or delivery terms, and stock status.

The term is widely used in retail catalogs, online storefronts, and discussions of access to goods, services, or digital content. Purchasable status may depend on location, licensing, age restrictions, or inventory. For example, a piece of software might be purchasable in one country but not in another due to licensing or regulatory constraints, while a unique artwork could be purchasable only at specified auctions.

Purchasable differs from simply “for sale” in emphasizing the buyer's ability to complete a transaction, rather than whether the item is publicly offered. It is often more formal than alternatives like “buyable” or “for sale” and can imply specific conditions must be met to complete a purchase.

Etymology: formed from the verb “purchase” plus the suffix “-able,” denoting capability.
