Kagi Frequently Asked Question

Question:

What does the "*" or "!" or "@" after the "Thanks for your payment" mean?

Answer:

When we send out an acknowledgement to the payer and send a copy of the email to the product creator, that message has the subject of "Thanks for your payment".

When the payer has asked us to relay some comments to the product creator, we append "*" to the end of the subject so that it becomes "Thanks for your payment *". This lets the product creator quickly find the payment emails from Kagi with payer messages that they should personally read.

When the payer has not provided us with an email address and they have not purchased a postcard receipt so that we can send them information concerning their purchase, we append "!" to the end of the subject line so that it becomes "Thanks for your payment !". This lets the product creator know that they need to find a way to contact the payer because the payer has not provided Kagi with a way to do so.

When there is no email (regardless whether there is a postal address or not) we append "@" to the end of the subject.
