The store is where agents can purchase items and avatars. (Not to be confused with the Ingress Shop, an online storefront which sells real-world merchandise.) The items are purchased with chaotic matter units (CMU), which can also be obtained from the store with real-world currency.
The store is accessed from the OPS menu. You can see your CMU balance at the upper-right of the store screen. Before you can purchase items, you must have sufficient CMU in your store balance. At this writing, CMU is available in the following lot sizes:
| Lot Size | Cost (USD) | CMU/USD |
|---|---|---|
| 2,500 CMU | $1.99 | 1256.3 |
| 7,000 CMU | $4.99 | 1402.8 |
| 15,000 CMU | $9.99 | 1501.5 |
| 32,000 CMU | $19.99 | 1600.8 |
| 90,000 CMU | $49.99 | 1800.4 |
| 200,000 CMU | $99.99 | 2000.2 |
If you attempt to purchase an item with an insufficient amount of CMU in your store balance, you will be prompted to purchase more.
Some of the items available in the store are considered premium items. These items are not typically hackable from the portal network, but can only be obtained through the store. Premium items cannot be dropped, recycled (except for the apex), or inserted into capsules.
