If it is missing, check that you are signed in and reload once; a shop that cannot be reached does not show its entry.

The categories are Avatars, Emoji, Cursors and Music, with Wishlist for saved listings and My Store for your own work. Nodes and Typography do not contain items you can buy.

On a phone, the window fills the screen and the category row scrolls sideways. You can browse and buy there. My Store is hidden in this layout, and listing a Pixl requires the drag available on a larger screen.
