Shop inside DS?

Hi,
I'm a new user, and I was looking at some tuto vids, and one of them shows how to download library assets, and also shows how to purchase new ones from inside the DS application. In the Smart Content tab it has the store in the bottom pane (where you'd also find the tips, etc.)
I have tried to look around the application menus, etc. and even tried searching here and Google, but I just cannot find how to enable that...
Can anyone point me in the right direction, please?

I think the store tab in DS was removed a few versions ago.
You probably looked at Daz Connect and you need to be careful using it because... you can easily end up with multiple copies of the exact same thing. See my screenshot attachment: this lists the products inside my (custom) 'Genesis' category. As you can see, all items have a download option (the arrow in the circle?) and if you click that... it will download the whole product again despite the fact that I already have it available.
I think the idea here is that the color in the icon should give away the fact that it's already installed but... With all due respect I think this is one of the worst Daz Studio features ever created.
And I say that because when it just got released we had several "Daz Connect only" items and yah... last year I cleaned up my library and honestly... I saved up several gigabytes by cleaning out the mess that was my Daz Connect library; dozens of stuff that was installed twice.
My advice: ignore this as best as you can. As of right now there doesn't seem to be any "Daz Connect only" idiocy in the store as far as I can tell so you're probably better off ignoring this part entirely.. IMO of course.
No, it really was in DS... It may have been removed as the previous response suggested, but I think - if that is true - that that was a stupid decision... Why force me to leave DS to find additional resources in the webshop and then download them again in either DC or DS... *shrugs*
Too bad, I kinda liked what I saw in that tuto...
Thanks both!
Yes, it had to be removed as it was not functioning well following the site update. I am sure they reviewed the usage data before deciding whether to dedicate the needed ersources to fixing the issues.
