In addition to classification by category and system, the site groups products according to the type of user: accountants, architects and designers, content creators and YouTubers, freelancers and solopreneurs, graphic designers, legal professionals, music creators, real estate, students, and teachers and educators. This segmentation makes it possible to find programs aimed at specific tasks for each activity.

The purchase is set out in three steps: select the software, make the payment — which the store describes as secure and encrypted — and download and install the product, available immediately after purchase. Accepted payment methods include American Express, Apple Pay, Discover, Google Pay, Mastercard, PayPal, Shop Pay, and Visa. The store operates with prices in US dollars and offers the option to defer payment through the "Download Now, Pay Later" modality.
