#Scrivener for mac review update#
If I already own Scrivener, will the Mac App Store recognise it and allow me to update it from there in future? That said, remember that if you are in any of those countries, you can still buy from us direct by clicking on "Buy Now" on our Scrivener product page. If Apple clarifies the situation or takes responsibility for sales tax in these countries in the future, or if we gain the resources to deal with such things ourselves, we will of course make Scrivener available everywhere that we can - it is with great regret that we are unable to sell into these countries via the App Store at this time. Thus, for the time being, we are unable to make Scrivener available on the Mac App Store in New Zealand, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Norway, Russia and a number of other countries. Unfortunately, we just don't have the resources at this time to do so, especially when we already have a direct sales channel on our store that takes care of all of this (Paddle, who run our web store, deal with sales taxes for every country they pay into).

We contacted Apple for clarification on this, and they told us to speak to an accountant we already had, and our accountant advised us not to sell into those countries unless we were prepared to deal with the individual taxation demands of 60-odd countries each year. They specify a list of countries for which the responsibility for paying sales taxes to governments is left to the developer. Under the terms of the Mac App Store developer agreement, Apple do not take responsibility for paying sales taxes in every country. Unfortunately, we aren't able to offer Scrivener on the Mac App Store in every country for tax reasons. I can't find Scrivener in the Mac App Store in my country - where is it?

Full details of these differences are documented in this article.

Besides the obvious differing methods in how registration and updates are handled externally by the Mac App Store software, the cut features are those that depend upon a basic level of system integration, which Apple does not allow through their store. There are no major differences for most common purposes. What is the difference between the version on the site and the Mac App Store version? Our current Scrivener 3 version requires macOS 10.12.1 Sierra or later to run.

What are the system requirements for the Mac App Store version? Of course! The Mac App Store is just a different sales channel - whether you bought from us direct or from the App Store, we are grateful to you for buying Scrivener and you will enjoy the same level of updates and support as always. Will you still be supporting those of us who didn't buy from the Mac App Store? Our own store (provided by Paddle) gives us more control over our customer database and involves us paying less commission it also allows us to provide student discounts and promotional codes (for events such as NaNoWriMo) in ways that the App Store does not, so it wouldn't make sense for us to go Mac App Store-exclusive. The Mac App Store will just be an alternative way for customers to buy Scrivener, for those who prefer the ease of managing and installing applications that the App Store brings.

We will continue to sell the Mac version of Scrivener directly through our website, in the same way we sell our Windows version. The following should answer most questions about our Mac App Store presence, whether you are a Mac App Store customer or have bought from us directly through our own web store: Will you be going Mac App Store-exclusive? As of 30th March 2011, Scrivener for the Mac has been available on the Mac App Store.
