Vouches/Reviews
Hella vouch was waiting for this for nearly a year really recommend using it!

This is absolutely fantastic, great guy and great product! Highly recommend.

I tested with him for a lot of month before the release, i was happy to see his product become better and better and the dev become alway more confident with the time, and the money spent for this are one are well spent, because it allow to host yourself with your data, all the stuff without paying anything anymore, you can also import payments from other store with linked product by using cvs file, also the product is really solid, secure and stable and becoming in each release more user-friendly :), the dev is a great man and super user friendly that i never see in all my life, he alway trying to make their customer happy and alway listen suggestion. keep the good job man! :)

Great work, im enjoying it a lot! The CEO is very friendly and the product is just incredible!

Pretty fire like a better buycraft!

Another vouch for Mark. The service is as good as it can get.

It's very good for self-hosted donation store for all the features which can cost from $10 to $50 per month, Great themes support and the author is active and helpful with every step of installation and any issues I reported.

Value for money.

I vouch for this! is amazing! :)

Great support in general from Mark. He takes the time to anwser any questions and concers that I might have and is just in general a great guy who truly cares about his project. Donation store as a whole is truly a great self hosted store that I would recommend to anyone!

I bought this software almost 1 year ago and using it since then. I bought it for $130 or something and its worth the money. Support is very fast, Mark always helped me with all the issues i had from time to time. BIG VOUCH...

Although I have not used this software yet, it seems to have a lot of potential and care put into its development. I think that it is incredibly interesting and I have been talking with Mark a bit and he seems like a real cool dude too.

I look forward to seeing how this project goes in the future :)

Looks great!

Not sure if it's an issue on my end, but this image isn't showing properly.

Also, why should people use your service instead of competitors like Tebex?
Does only the self-hosted feature make a difference or is there more?

Thanks for spotting the image problem, fixed now! :)

More than a few reasons. First off yes, it is self hosted. This allows you to have full control of how the application looks to your customers, but also lets you add features onto the webstore or let you integrate the webstore with your brand more easily too. I can tell instantly when I'm on a given server network then I get redirected to a store where the theming is similar but not the same.

Also, I feel server owners have to remain competitive in today's market. It is easier than ever to setup a Minecraft server just like the others. What makes a good Minecraft server popular and for it to stick around is for it to offer something that other servers don't offer. I won't name the server, but I remember when I was an avid Minecraft player, all the servers at the time were fairly similar, building, survival, creative etc. then this server network came out with custom plugins custom everything and even a custom webstore. Yes it has most of the features that others did, but it was the first to implement a lot of things not seen on other solutions. That server sticks in my mind.

If you need a particular featured developed, you can do it yourself! You can hire someone to do it if you don't know and you can be ahead of the game. New payment gateway? Your server has a custom way of doing things? Not a problem.

Also, I am and will be in the progress of adding addons to Donation Store. What does that mean? Well let me just say that eventually, Donation Store will be a platform that allows for your whole server's online presence to be manage by a single application.

The core Donation Store app provides all of the top tier features you've come to expect and it also includes "Enterprise" features all included. Things like Gift Cards, Referrals, Virtual Currencies (A feature we had integrated in Donation Store 2 years ago). Webhooks etc. with more features being developed already!

Away from core features, Donation Store operates a similar pricing strategy to software like Xenforo. You pay once and that's it you have a lifetime license to use the product. Your support and upgrades are limited but these can be added. No monthly fees. Your support and upgrades have expired and you don't see anything you like in the upcoming updates? Well you can ignore them. 3 Months later you see something you like, a gateway you have been wanting to use? Pay a once off fee and get access to ALL updates up until then and beyond.

If you have any other questions please ask, I'd be more than happy to answer them.

Note, I was in the progress of setting up the 14 day demo, however for some reason, my monitor decided to give me a large row of dead pixels, so my motivation is pretty low this evening lol. Anyway, keep an eye out on here and I'll post when there is a demo.[DOUBLEPOST=1580752600][/DOUBLEPOST]

We've improved the installer/setup process with Donation Store. To show you how easy it is to get up and running, I've made an install video that showcases how to set everything up and also how to setup your first webstore and how to get an SSL certificate:

Hey! It doesnt say anywhere that we dont have support? Everyone who buys it gets 12 months of supports and updates. + this is a once off fee which never has to be paid again.

Some points:
  • The price is once off for 12 Months Support + Upgrades (this can be extended)
  • Any bugfixes or security updates are always and will always be free + if there is a bug in the software we offer support indefinitely for that too.
  • For the once off price, I have to charge after a certain amount of time for updates. If it was once off and lifetime updates, why would I/where would I find the motivation to update the software in let's say, 3 years from now if I don't make money from it?
  • I'm not going to re-explain everything that is set out on the FAQ section of the buy page: https://donationstore.net/buy

Amazing! The Developer is extremely active & helpful and there are almost no other self-hosted stores, not to mention comparable ones. 10/10 from me.

Quick Preview of the Upcoming v2.3 update which includes 2 never seen before features:

- Loyalty Rewards - Offer your customers coupons or gift cards automatically for when they purchase a certain amount or certain number of products.

- Recommended Packages - Cross/Up sell your other packages that tend to be bought together/you want bought together by recommending them at checkout. You can just recommend them, or you can even offer a discount amount or percentage, if a certain package is in the cart already. It will also give you the number of times a package has be recommended and also how many times a recommended package has been added to the cart.
