According to the Informations on https://sailfishos.org/developmentroadmap/ Flattr support for the Store is already implemented, but not yet released.

There is a new API for **Flattr**’s Collectors, that could be very useful here: http://blog.flattr.net/2015/01/developer-update-4-collectors I guess that Jolla store (e.g. via its “like button“ or...

Donations by Bitcoin would be welcome too, to avoid the overhead costs of payment providers.

@Artem If you are in Finland, are you not allowed to receive international Paypal donations? By the way, in Finland, you can give up to 3,999 Euro every 3 years to a person without any justification to...

@chinauser That could certainly help the non-Finnish part of the Jolla developer community. Thing is a very significant part of Jolla-interested developers (majority?) are actually in Finland.

Jolla just need to create a new company based in Hong Kong or whatever jurisdiction that accepts donations and they run the donation process from that entity abroad. Then, it has nothing to do with...

Receiving donations is fine in Finland. Asking for donation is not fine - you need to get some special license for the act of asking. And it's pretty hard for people to realize they can donate if...

It all needs political will (and will to risk from Jolla). I was thinking about implementing an own payment solution for my apps, but it is wrong when non-platform vendors asks you for money (and is...

Okay, so it seems to be illegal in FI to collect donations, but in many other countries it isn't and it is a crucial part of creating free software. So what about letting developers set a "Donation...

To my understanding what precisely is illegal in Finland (and what killed kickstarter in Finland) is collecting donations for the future as it is dort of payment for a product that may or may not be...

@Artem I see, so the beggars asking for money in Helsinki train station should end up in court :) How about receiving Paypal donation from an abroad website? Is that also covered by this regulation?

Collecting donations like that is illegal in Finland, so such a function probably cannot be implemented.

This would be a great feature! By pairing up with e.g. Flattr this shouldn't be too difficult either

With PayPal eating most of small donations, wouldn't it be better to create a paid app called "$APPNAME donation" which could be bought as a donation. To provide better flexibility, one could create...

And can't it be said that the demand button is added on demand, and the adder says that he has the right to do this (e.g. the license in the country)? And Jolla would be the donation

After asking around again (not from lawyers though) it looks like in order to ask for donations and receive them, you need to get a special money collection license in Finland. If people just decide to...

I would like to see a micropayment/donation implementation to the Warehouse Openrepos client.

I agree, we should be able to donate or pay for aps if we want to support the dev!

This would require paid apps support in Jolla Store, AFAIK it's not on the near roadmap (?)... I know, Paypal isn't the best choice for small donations - that's why I suggested the possibility to add a...

But if the donation is simply "thank you", wanting nothing in return, is it illegal in Finland too? Such mechanism would be a real boost for free apps! I'd love it.

So what if I send a "thank you" postcard to everyone who donates to me, would that by okay?

@ln I am sure that a donate function could also be a "pay what you want" function. But I think it's for the jolla (leagal) team to figure out how it can be implemented in detail.

@slaveriq With Humble Bundle you pay something and get a product in return, so that's close to a normal purchase. With Harbour donations you would get a product for free in any case, then donate money...

I support this. I'm grateful for free apps, but if I use one all the time and it makes my life easier, it'd be nice to be able to show that appreciation towards the dev.

I can't even find any apps in the Harbour :/ The only harbour apps I have found have been as download links on twitter.

@aegis Both the harbour and the store (the application) would need to support donations.

I'll just add there are already stores/repositories having this feature, such as [addons.mozilla.org](https://addons.mozilla.org/), so it indeed appears to be a viable concept. :)

This should be [store] not [harbour]. Harbour is where developers submit apps to have them approved for the store.
