Buying Gold & Silver from BullionStar - Detailed Guide

A Detailed Guide to Buying Bullion from BullionStar

BullionStar gives customers the ability to purchase gold, silver, and platinum bullion products in several different countries.

To do this, simply click on our Stock Location dropdown menu and choose which country you’d like to purchase from. The dropdown menu is located to the right of "Stock Location" near the top right-hand side of the website.

Step 1: Hover over the “Buy Gold & Silver” menu (in the upper-left-hand corner of the website) with your mouse’s cursor and then click on the category of products that you are interested in such as Gold Bars, Gold Coins, Silver Bars, Platinum Coins, etc. You can also search for the products that you are looking for via the search field that is above the top menu. If you click inside that search field, a list of our most popular products will appear for your convenience. 

Step 2: If you’d like to narrow down your product search using specific characteristics, you can click "Filter Products" on the product list screen. Our filter options include year, weight, availability, issuing country, price range, and bullion form factor (bar or coin).

Step 3: Once you’ve identified the product that you want to order, enter your desired number of product units in the field located to the left of the "Add to Cart" button. When you are ready to add the products to your shopping cart, click on the "Add to Cart" button.

Step 4: After clicking "Add to Cart," your desired product will be added to your shopping cart and a pop-up will appear to confirm that the product has been added. The pop-up gives you the choice to either “Continue Shopping” or “Proceed to Checkout.” If you’d like to view the contents of your shopping cart, you can hover your mouse cursor over the Shopping Cart icon located at the upper right-hand side of the webpage.

Step 5: If you choose to “Proceed to Checkout,” the products that you have selected will be added to your shopping cart and then displayed on the Checkout page. On the Checkout page, you can remove products by clicking the “X” next to it or you can change the number of units of each product that you’d like to purchase.

Step 6: If you chose "Continue Shopping" on the pop-up, however, you will be brought back to the product screens, where you can continue to add items to your shopping cart by repeating steps 3 and 4.

Step 7: Choose your delivery method via the “Delivery” drop-down menu (click on the little black arrow to make the menu drop down). You can choose to store your newly purchased bullion products in our vaults or have them shipped to you.

(Note: vault storage is the only delivery option if you’ve ordered gold, silver, or platinum grams through our Bullion Savings Program.) 

Step 8: Use the “Payment” dropdown menu to choose your payment method. We accept payment via credit card (Mastercard and Visa only), ACH transfer, wire transfer, and even cryptocurrency (BTC, ETH, LTC, BCH).

You can change your preferred currency by clicking the "Change Currency" link above the “Payment” dropdown menu. We accept payment in the following currencies: USD, EUR, GBP, AUD, NZD, SEK, JPY, and SGD.

Step 9: If you are logged into your BullionStar account, your registered address will be used as your default shipping address and will appear under Customer Information. If you prefer to have your order shipped to another address, please click the checkbox for "Ship to a Different Address" and input your preferred shipping address. If you haven’t created a BullionStar account yet, complete the empty "Customer Information" fields. If you already have a BullionStar account but are currently logged out, please log in. If this is your first time placing an order for vault storage, you will be asked to choose a PIN code that will be required for future transactions. If you already have a PIN code, please input that code under "Account Verification" if it is requested.

Step 10: Please read the Terms and Conditions and check the checkbox if you agree to them. Next, check the checkbox to acknowledge that your order is binding and that you agree to initiate your payment no later than the next banking day. Finally, submit your order by clicking on the "Place Your Order" button.

Step 11: Once your order has been submitted, an order confirmation page will appear along with your order number and payment instructions. Additional order confirmations will be e-mailed to you and texted to your mobile phone. If you chose to store your purchased products in BullionStar’s vault(s), those products be visible under your Account Dashboard as payment pending. Once your payment has been received, we will process your order.
