Software

The Software setting is used to define computer software products. This includes information about the system requirements, license agreement, video card requirements, supported platform, and so on.

EULA

A EULA or End User License Agreement is a legal agreement between the you (or the manufacturer) and the shopper who purchases your software product. When you create a software product you can enter the EULA text and have that text appear somewhere on your store. How, when, and where the EULA appears to shoppers varies by how your store is set up to show the EULA text. For example, it may appear on the Product Details page or on an interstitial page during checkout. To learn more about where the EULA appears to shoppers, contact your Store Operations team.

Restricting the Platform List

The Platform list is used in the Software setting to indicate which platform the software product is compatible with. You can restrict which items appear in this list by customizing the Product Template.

Software Requirements

The various requirements you can enter for a software product are usually set to appear on the Product Details page for the product. You should only enter requirements for those specific requirements that apply to your software product. To learn how and where these requirements appear on your store, contact your Store Operations team.
