Kagi Frequently Asked Question

Question:

Can the email to payers vary with the program they paid for?

Answer:

Yes. You can specify either one generic payer information blurb to be sent to all payers or you can specify separate information blurbs for each program and a generic one that contains information that would be common to all.

For example, assume you have three different software applications; program1, Program-B, and Program-III. The payer just pays for Program-B and program1. We would construct an email reply that starts with the specific details of their payment such as what they purchased, how much they paid, etc. That would be followed by generic information about Kagi. Then we would follow that with a paragraph about Program-B, a paragraph about program1, and then a generic paragraph about you and where to obtain your software and the latest version number of all your software, etc.

This is especially useful if there is some secret functionality in your program and you only want to relay that secret information to folks who have paid the registration fee.

To provide us with different blurbs for your programs, send a message to admin@kagi.com and tell them how you want it configured. For example:
For MyProgA send my generic blurb and a specific blurb for that program, same for MyProgB. Here are the blurbs:
----- Begin My Generic Blurb -----
blah blah blah, thanks
----- End Generic Blurb ---------

----- Begin MyProgA Blurb -----
The MyProgA reg code will be sent to you sometime next spring.
----- End MyProgA Blurb ---------

----- Begin MyProgB Blurb -----
There is no registration code for MyProgB, thanks for supporting my efforts.
----- End MyProgB Blurb ---------

As for notifying the author when a payment arrives, we always send a copy of the payment acknowledgement to the author unless the author specifically asks us not to send a copy to them.
