It's a Joomla component for selling digital products — software, templates, e-books, images, and services — with a built-in cart, checkout, PayPal payment, metered downloads, reviews, versioned changelogs, and full update system for Joomla extensions.

Start with Getting Started — install the package, set your currency and upload paths, create your categories, and add your first product.

No. softMedia sells in a single, site-wide currency configured under General Settings — there's no per-visitor currency switcher. See Currencies.

That's a known PayPal-specific issue — the plugin doesn't read your store currency setting. See Troubleshooting.

A Category-type product is something you buy that then unlocks download access to everything inside a chosen category — it's a purchasable bundle, not a way of organizing your catalog. See Product Types Explained.

Yes. Reviews require the customer to already own the product (purchased, or free-download eligible) — there's no way to leave one without having bought it first. See Reviews and Comments.

Yes — turn off Auto-Approve for either feature under Options, and new submissions land unpublished for you to review. See Reviews & Comments Moderation.

Set Limit Type to Downloads or Days on the product, with a matching Limit value. See Products and Downloads and Purchases.

 Yes — that's what the bundled Extensions Updater plugin is for. See Updates and Licensing.

The order completes immediately with no payment step at all — no payment method needs to be selected. See Cart and Checkout.

No — only one coupon code can be active on a cart at a time. Applying a new one replaces whatever was there. See Coupons.

No. They're general-purpose taxonomies you define yourself — use them for anything worth badging a product with, not just Joomla compatibility. See Media Types and Versions.

Through Joomla's own Category Manager, scoped to softMedia — there's no separate softMedia category screen. See Categories.
