It literally is.

"Verb

"purchase (third-person singular simple present purchases, present participle purchasing, simple past and past participle purchased)

"To buy, obtain by payment of a price in money or its equivalent."

"Verb

"buy (third-person singular simple present buys, present participle buying, simple past bought, past participle bought or (archaic, rare, dialectal) boughten)

"(transitive, ditransitive) To obtain (something) in exchange for money or goods."
