Donation Question

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

Donation Question

Post by King Kong »

Hi Steve
I wanted to donate to your software and had a question about the donation form. I'll be paying by Visa and don't have PayPal account (nor do I want one). Can you please tell me if I fill out the form do I automatically create a PayPal account? Does PayPal keep my information and then bombard my email with marketing offers etc?

Thanks

I believe if you click on Donate there is option at the bottom of the screen to use your credit card of choice rather than a PayPal account. Whether or not PayPal retains this information I am afraid I don't know but I doubt it as this would be against their privacy code and they will not have an account to store it against.

Hi Steve
I tried to donate but the form is a little wonky. I'm in Canada and so the error message keeps coming up to include my "province" yet there isn't a field for it. I'll keep trying from time to time to see if it's been added.

THanks

I don't think I have any control over the form. I've certainly had donations from Canada before, so I don't why you're having a problem, perhaps it's because you don't have a Paypal account. Don't worry about it, there are lots of people using Cumulus who haven't tried to make a donation, so your effort is appreciated anyway.

Good News
I logged in from a different machine using "FireFox" and the donation went through.
