How to Donate to the FastStone Soft Nag Box

FastStone offers freeware and shareware that deal with computer graphics.

FastStone is a company that manufactures and sells many freeware and shareware items relating to graphics and computer images. These include image editing, converting and screen capturing software. To help support this company and keep their products affordable, with many offered for free, donations are readily accepted. The donations page directs to a page called "FastStone Soft" with a nag box with two choices of how to donate. It is called a "nag box" because the embedded links take the form of a box icons instead of traditional hyperlinks. They look like square pictures of the words "Paypal" and "Plimus," the two donation choices.

Things You'll Need

• Papal account or Plimus account

Instructions

1. Donate money to help keep FastStone freeware available and affordable shareware products at reasonable rates and to aid in financing the development of future items, if you have enjoyed the use of these products and would like to express your gratitude.

2. Use Paypal or Primus. FastStone states on their website that they have chosen these two types of online payment for security reasons. Instant online orders are greatly preferred.

For those who do not wish to provide a credit card number or those who do not have a Paypal account, Plimus offers a few alternative ways of using their services to donate to FastStone. You can send a check to Plimus via "snail mail" and have the funds distributed electronically to FastStone. Another option is to connect your bank account with Plimus and send the money directly from your checking or savings account.

4. Receive FastStone Image Viewer as a token of appreciation. FastStone.org emails all non-commercial donors with a code to download the FastStone Image Viewer for free.
