Kagi Payment Processing Service

What is Kagi?

Kagi is a Shareware payment processing service that makes it easy for people to pay Shareware fees and saves Shareware authors from handling payment processing.  Here's how Kagi works.

How does the payment processing work?

Kagi provides Shareware authors with a small registration program called register.exe that they bundle with their software.  When a person wishes to pay for their Shareware they run the registration program and fill in the form that it presents.  They enter their name, email, postal address, and the amount of licenses 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, First Virtual, and Invoice (to be given to their accounts payable department).  They  either e-mail the data generated by the registration program or they print it and send it via postal mail or fax.  Sensitive information, like credit card numbers, is encoded for better security.  Each payer receives an e-mail reply from Kagi and once a month the Shareware authors receive a single payment from Kagi.

What are the advantages to this system?

Payers like this service because it makes it easy to pay their Shareware fees and Shareware authors like the service because more people tend to pay when it is easy to do so.  Non-USA Shareware authors and payers like the service because it eliminates all the currency conversion issues such as how a payer in Finland would pay an author in Australia. Another benefit of the service is that Shareware authors can concentrate on what they do best, writing software, rather than spending time processing payments.

The above is just a short summary of Kagi Shareware.  Kagi offers many services to meet the needs of our Shareware authors and is always open to suggestions.  For more information point your Web browser to http://www.kagi.com, or send e-mail to support@kagi.com.
