What's the difference?
In "GetStoreItem" I'm asked to attach a StoreId to the request. What is StoreId?

We added the concept of a store due to specific developer requests to have a way to separate the notion of a catalog of goods versus a store. The idea is that a catalog contains the complete list of all the items available, including their specific properties, while a store is a description of the prices for those items. It's still possible to have all this information in your catalog and not use stores, but both design patterns are supported in PlayFab.
