I own Affinity Photo through the App Store. My serif account doesn't show that I own it.

Ideally, I want 3 things:

  1. Buy Designer during the Spring Sale
  2. Keep my Affinity licenses together
  3. Get the Grade UI Kit (a free bonus on the Affinity Store that I don't see in the App Store)

What's my best approach? How does buying from the Affinity Store work? Does that bypass the App Store, or do I get a code that let's me register through the app store? Is the Grade UI kit also offered with an App Store purchase? Etc.

Thanks,

Nick

If you want to keep them together then purchase through the App Store again. The Grade UI Kit should be available to you via the application's Welcome Screen.

Your existing purchase doesn't show at the Affinity Store because only Apple knows of that purchase.

Or you could do what I have recently done and buy everything from the Affinity store.  I originally bought Affinity Photo from the MAC app store.   But then I bought Designer, both for the desktop and for the iPad directly from the Affinity store.   Plus tons of lovely brushes, offered there at special prices.    The MAC app store didn’t have those possibilities.   I am also thoroughly enjoying Affinity Publisher Beta, and will definitely purchase it the day it is available — again from the AFFINITY store.   So just to keep everything in one neat bundle, I repurchased Affinity Photo — this time from the Affinity Store during their Christmas sale, and now have everything neatly organized, all licenses together.   With Affinity’s Spring sale right now, you can save a bundle and still — with a small repurchase — have everything you would like.  PLUS the advantage of future special offers.
