Hello certainlyYes,


For help with signing into the App Store test the steps below found in the guide here: Sign in to the App Store on Mac


"Use the App Store on your Mac to find and download apps and get app, macOS, and security updates for your Mac.


Before you can purchase or update an app from the App Store, you must sign in using your Apple ID. To learn more about Apple ID, see the Apple ID Support page. To create one, go to the Apple ID acccount website.

The Apple ID sign in window in App Store.

  • Sign in with your Apple ID: Choose Store > Sign In, then enter your Apple ID information.


  • Create an Apple ID: Choose Store > Create Account. You can also choose Store > Sign In, then click Create Apple ID.


  • View account settings: Sign in, then choose Store > View My Account. Account settings include your Apple ID, billing information, and the nickname you use when you review apps. You can also view purchases that you’ve hidden.


  • Sign out: Choose Store > Sign Out."



Additionally you can use the steps here to check your purchase history directly from the App Store app, as using a web browser isn't needed. View your purchase history for the App Store, iTunes Store, and other Apple media services



Cheers.
