Purchased song not available as ringtone

I'm using iPhone 7 and just ordered for first time a song so I can set it up for ringtone. Unfortunately when I access Ringtone option from the settings, there isn't anywhere available my song. I can find it accessing tune store from the some section but still I am not able to set it as ringtone even when is downloaded.

Hello G0lG0lll,

Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. I understand you've had some trouble selecting a song as a ringtone, and I have some information that may help.

Purchased songs are treated separately form ringtones in iOS, so in order to use the song, it must be purchased and formatted as a ringtone. If you already purchased this song as a ringtone and it's just not available on your phone, you can re download the ringtone from your past purchases. Have a look at the article below for more information.

If the behavior persists or you run into any trouble, please reach out again.
​Best Regards.
