The difference between commercial and shareware software is rapidly disappearing. For both, demonstration versions tend to be widely distributed on the Internet and BBSes. People download the software and try it. If they like it they pay for the full featured version. We handle the processing of that payment. Here's how we do it.
How does the payment processing work?
We provide software authors with a small registration program that they bundle with their software. When a person wishes to pay for the software they run the registration program and fill in the form that it presents. They enter their name, email, postal address, and select the product(s) they wish to pay for. The form accepts many different payment methods such as: US Check, Money Order, Cash (in many different currencies), Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Diners Club, Discover, First Virtual, and Invoice (to be given to their accounts payable department). They either email the data generated by the registration program or, they print it and send it via postal mail or fax, or they register via a web page. Credit card information is scrambled by the register program. Each payer receives an email reply and once a month the authors receive a single payment from Kagi along with a detailed listing of all the transactions.
The above is just a short summary of Kagi. We offer many services to meet the needs of our authors and are always open to suggestions.
