I don't want to use paypal... Is there another way to donate?

We have used paypal since 2005 and it remains the most affordable and secure credit card processor we know of. However, we can also accept payments through other means:

• Amazon.com: To comply with their rules, payments made via Amazon.com must be for fixed-cost ($25) purchases of commercial licenses. You can easily purchase such a license from our Commercial License order page.
  
• BitCoin: Send your BitCoin donation to:1Hd2aePtYxUD28WZjnp6sGMLAKTcjeQwwX. Note: After you send the bitcoin payment, please contact us to let us know about your bitcoin payment and we'll send you a full license key.
• Snail Mail: We accept donations in the form of cookies, poetry, postcard, art, gold, silver, diamonds, cat socks, etc. Please mail your gift to the address listed on our contact page and include your email address so we can email you a license key and upgrade your forum account to show you are a supporting member of the site.
• Patreon: If you are prepared to support the work I am doing here, you can pledge a regular monthly amount via my Patreon page.
• Make a donation of your time to someone in your town: If making a monetary donation to our site is not practical, we would be happy to send you a full license key and ask only that you give back to some person or cause in your local area.

What happens after I donate?

After you donate you'll immediately receive (on screen and via email) a full non-expiring license key for all of our programs and a special activation code that you can use to upgrade your forum / site account to full lifetime supporting member status, giving you instant access to all features on our site.

Later, if you wish, you may choose how to distribute your donation to different members of the DonationCoder website as you see fit, using our unique DonationCredits sytem.

Can you tell me more about what I get by donating?

In addition to a lifetime license key for all of our software, there are many other benefits to making a donation. You can read about them: here.

What is your policy on refunds if I'm not satisfied?

We want you to be proud to be a supporting member of our site! Should you ever become dissatisfied with our site, at any time, for any reason, please allow us to promptly refund your entire site donation, and absorb the payment fees, no questions asked. And you are welcome to keep the lifetime license key in case you decide to try one of our programs again in the future.
