PermitCore Store 2.0: a branded software storefront built into licensing

A licensing API solves key creation and validation. It does not automatically give a software vendor a polished way to present products, run promotions, take payment, deliver licenses, and support customers after checkout.

That is why we rebuilt the PermitCore Store.

Store 2.0 is a responsive, vendor-branded software storefront connected directly to the same products, prices, entitlements, orders, subscriptions, and licenses managed in PermitCore.

Merchandising without building another application

Vendors can now create a storefront with:

  • hero campaigns and featured releases
  • curated product collections
  • category and workflow tiles
  • horizontal product shelves
  • custom colors, backgrounds, images, spacing, and labels
  • search and responsive desktop/mobile navigation

Every section can be configured from the Shop Designer instead of being hard-coded into a separate storefront project.

Trials, bundles, and scheduled discounts

Store 2.0 supports one-time and subscription products, free trials, bundles, scheduled promotions, percentage or fixed-value discounts, and campaign labels.

For discounted offers, vendors can also show the lowest applied price from the previous 30 days. This gives EU-facing stores the information needed for transparent discount presentation while keeping the display configurable for stores operating elsewhere.

Checkout and licensing stay connected

A buyer can discover a product, add it to the cart, pay through the vendor's connected Stripe account, and receive the correct license automatically.

The complete workflow is:

  1. Create a product and define its license rules.
  2. Implement validation through the REST API or one of eight official SDKs.
  3. Merchandise the product in a branded Store 2.0 storefront.
  4. Accept payment through the vendor's own Stripe account.
  5. Generate and deliver the correct license automatically.

PermitCore takes 0% commission on software sales. The vendor keeps the Stripe relationship while PermitCore connects checkout to customers, orders, invoices, subscriptions, entitlements, and license delivery.

Built for desktop and mobile

The storefront, product pages, cart, checkout flow, and customer account are responsive. Storefront content is cached for fast delivery, while checkout, account, and license operations remain protected by the platform's authorization, rate-limiting, and tenant-isolation controls.

We turned Nexova into a complete demo storefront so the entire flow can be explored with realistic products, imagery, bundles, trials, and discounts.
