# Purchase and attach proxies

{% embed url="<https://youtu.be/D3lkIX2JnRE?si=_Che2G_i4EfZii3a>" %}

The Proxy Shop lets you purchase dedicated proxies directly inside Incogniton. Once your purchase is complete, your proxies are automatically added to your Proxy Library and ready to assign to profiles. No external accounts or manual imports needed.

### Proxy types

We offer 6 affordable proxy types to suit different use cases. The right choice depends on the platforms you are targeting and the level of anonymity your work requires.

### Before you get started

We recommend warming up your profiles before going all-in on your accounts. Assign the proxy to a profile and gradually build up activity over a few weeks, starting with basic browsing before moving into more intensive account activity.

### Purchasing a proxy

You can start a purchase from the **Proxy Shop** in the left-side menu, or by opening a profile editor and selecting **Buy proxy** from the **Proxy** tab.
