I'm trying to understand the rationale behind the split between the digistore and the digistore mambot. Specifically, I'm trying to understand why the mambot isn't released as part of the functionality of the store? There's something odd about paying $80 for a full-blown store, but then having to pay an additional $50 for the additional functionality provided by a single mambot. While the store certainly works fine without the mambot, the mambot does not (as far as I can tell) work without the store, so essentially you're offering two versions of the store.

There are many features of the store that I will not be using that I would have preferred not to pay for in order to spend the money on the functionality that I really *do* need (the mambot). So, if you're going to go a la carte with functionality and split off things like the mambot, why not go all the way and let us pick and chose which modules/mambots/functions we want in our package?

First, there are some things we can separate and some we can't. The digistore is fully functional without the mambot. Everything we add cost US money to create, we can't keep adding functionality and not charge for it, or we would be out of business. You can choose to use it or not, it's up to you.

Ii think I may have misunderstood the mambot features when I bought it. Can I have a digistore on one joomla site, then publish the mambot on a different site that links to the shop on the first? e.g instead of just {digistore id=1}, have {digistore id= someotherurl/1}

Not at this time.
