Try to use the _Run Keyword and Return Status_ keyword. In this case what I normaly do is:

> ${CheckButon} Run Keyword and Return Status Element Should be Visible locator  
> IF ${CheckButon} == True  
> Comand 1  
> Comand 2  
> …  
> ELSE  
> Comand 1  
> END

Basically what joseiliton has provided is what you need to apply from the sounds of it… and you can make use of the `Wait Until Element Is Visible` or any of the other visible keywords

```
${chk_btn_is_visible}= Run Keyword and Return Status Wait Until Element Is Visible //foo   
IF ${chk_btn_is_visible}  
    No Operation # YAY! Stock is premium.. do something 
ELSE
    No Operation # BOO...! Stock is not premium.. do something 
END

```

or… as you’ve not really said if there’s a way to identify if a stock item is of type premium, you could do something like below:

```
IF {stock_is_premium}
    Element Should Be Visible //foo Premium stock should show a check button, but the button doesn't show.  
ELSE
    Element Should Not Be Visible //foo None premium stock should not show the check button, but the button shows. 
END

```

Hard to gauge… really depends on your needs…
