From the perspective of a developer

v1.0.0

PowerSoftware provides software developers and software companies with one-stop services for product publishing, sales, and order management. Common capabilities in software distribution are provided as ready-to-use platform features.

1. Publish products

  1. Register as a developer. After your application is approved, you can upload software products.
  2. Once a product passes review, it is listed in the software catalog, where users can browse, purchase, and download it.
  3. Client software can enable the license service, and you can configure edition tiers, upgrade strategy, and the software issuing API secret.

2. Common platform features

  1. License service: once enabled, the platform handles license code generation, in-app activation and verification, machine binding, edition upgrades, renewal, and unbinding. You only need to integrate through the open API and manage licenses in the developer center; users can view and manage their license codes, machine codes, and validity periods under "Profile → My Licenses".
  2. Deployment service: users can submit paid deployment orders on the platform, and you can take on the deployment.
  3. Custom development: users can submit customization requests on the platform, and you can take on and complete them.
  4. Order and revenue management: the developer center shows orders, deployments, licenses, and revenue sharing transparently.
  5. User feedback: users who purchased a product or bound a license can submit feedback, which is sent directly to your email.

3. Earn income

  1. When users purchase your product, you earn revenue according to the platform's revenue-sharing rules.
  2. Deployment orders and paid customization can be taken on through the platform, providing ongoing income.
  3. Manage orders, products, and revenue in the developer center, without building or promoting your own website.

4. Focus on your product

The platform handles product display, transactions, payments, and licensing, so you can focus on development and maintenance and keep improving product quality.

5. After-sales and communication

Users can view your contact information on the platform, and you can communicate with users offline about deployment and customization. Deployment orders and customization requests are submitted on the platform, keeping the process clear and traceable.
