How do websites like this work (in terms of customers, businesses, etc)?

    Example:
    http://www.macbundlebox.com/the-spring-bundle/

    Notice how there are 11 apps listed? So suppose someone buys the package, I'm assuming they get emailed a unique license/activation code to activate that particular software? Or they get a link to download the software? Or they email each customer a unique username/password to download that software.

    So my question is....if I wanted to hire someone to build something similar, what would they need to be knowledgeable in? It probably has something more to do than a simple cart/ecommerce type thing, right? How does it work that when each customer purchases a particular item, they're emailed a "unique" activation code, so where would these activation codes be listed? How would you keep track of which codes were sent? etc

    Sorry for the newbie question, I just feel this could point me in the right direction

    You need a client management and billing software that is capable of issuing software licenses.
    I only know that WHMCS has a licensing addon that automatically issues software licenses, but you should look for alternatives since WHMCS is mainly developed for web hosting companies.
