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. Shareware is software that someone writes
and is widely distributed on the Internet and BBSes. People download
the software and try it. If they like it they pay a shareware fee for
it's use. We handle the processing of that shareware fee. Here's how
we do it.
How does the payment processing work?
We provide shareware authors with a small registration program 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
shareware 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
email 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
email reply and at the 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. We offer many
services to meet the needs of our shareware authors and are always open
to suggestions. For more information go to
