They purchased them from other tribes that captured the slaves for them. Europeans almost never captured their own slaves. They established trading arrangements with powerful African kingdoms. These powerful African groups did virtually all of the kidnapping and capturing, and sold the captives to European slavers at established slave trading ports on the coast. In East Africa the Arabs did most of the slave trading.
Europeans generally obtained slaves from Africa through the transatlantic slave trade. Many of the slaves were captured and sold into slavery by other Africans.
They traded things they had like money, guns, gun powder, and other tools and such that the Africans didn't have.

The Europeans landed in Africa and bought slaves from Africa. They brought the slaves to the colonies in America by ship.
Slaves were not "kidnapped" from Africa (t least not by Europeans). Warring tribes in Africa would capture prisoners from defeated tribes and they sold those prisoners to Europeans in exchange for weapons and other manufactured goods.
During the era where Europeans began the slave trade in earnest, slaves from Black Africa were sometimes obtained by providing a Tribal chief with European products that were unobtainable for most African people. In some cases gold and silver were used to have a Tribal chief provide slaves to the slave traders.
