Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureSell any file type: PDF, ebook, video, audio, course or license key. Attach files to a product or variant and the app emails a branded download link once the order is paid. Buyers open files in your storefront portal, read or stream them in the built-in viewers, and find them again from the customer account and order status pages.
Most download apps sell a file once. MakerVault sells access: recurring license subscriptions that pay you every month. Create tiers like Personal and Commercial, each with its own price, download limits, and license terms. Subscribers browse and download from a branded library in your store, within their plan limits. Access revokes automatically on cancellation, failed payment, or refund.
