I don't know if this is the right place to post; however I found a workaround to get Commercial software shown on Software Center in elementary.

Just open a terminal and launch software center this way:

export SOFTWARE_CENTER_DISTRO_CODENAME=precise
software-center

it works! :)

Explanation:
the issue is that elementary codenames (e.g. 'luna') are different from the ubuntu ones ( e.g 'precise') and software center ( and its backend ) rely on them to know which packages to show from private PPAs.
