Buying an industry pack
- Hear it first. Every pack has sample lines and a free 25-phrase sample ZIP.
- Click buy on the pack. Checkout opens on Stripe, so card details go to Stripe, not to us.
- Come back to the portal. It shows a Your pack is ready banner with a Download button. It keeps checking for up to 40 seconds in case the payment confirmation is slow.
- Download. The file arrives as
speakvora-<pack>.zip. There is no email to wait for; the checkout page says so.
Honest status: billing is live and Checkout runs on Stripe. The pack download banner (below) is built and deployed, but we have not yet run a real pack purchase through it ourselves, so tell us if anything looks wrong. Pack prices today: $24 to $269 per industry pack, one time; the all-industries bundle is $399.
