In reference to mpt's comment #5, the issue about having to sign in for purchases is that we require a web-based sign-in to Ubuntu SSO each time a purchase is initiated (this is required only once per Software Center session). This is different to the one-time sign-in that we do in the client with the client-side Ubuntu SSO dialog for recommendations and ratings/reviews. The issue is that we don't currently use this local logged-in status in the purchase flow, even though we could and that would allow us to skip this step in the webkit flow. However, it's apparently not trivial to do this currently (this last from a conversation last week with Ricardo Kirckner), so this will have to wait for next cycle.
