help to create donate app

Hello, I need some ideas of how a donate app would be created? Like some apps are free and there is a donate app that only donates some money through android market play. Any suggesetions are welcome. // Tomas Forsman

Sign up to pay pal and request for a donation account to receive a url for donations, as it is mobile compatible you can create an app use a BT custom url plugin and add the link.

where hoping something like: https://play.google.com/store/search?q=donate&c=apps They all got a normal app and one app that's only for being able to donate. Easier for users to donate through the store, as most of the users has google wallet.

I know that Apple has a problem with these kind of apps - I did one way back where I had a donation solution that did not pass. I dont think that is an issue at Androids market place. BR/Stefan

The easiest way to do what you want is create 2 apps one with paid version and another with free and with less feature in it. You can then add a link to the paid version in the free app either by calling an http link or by calling market:// link. In the second case you will need to do some coding for that or wait for my new plugin which will direct the users to paid version of the app...

Ohhh, that sounds wonderful. Will wait for that plugin to be available. Sounds like a good way to do it.

Use the SDK for JustGiving. You can choice a charity, or register yourself to get donations. then use their SDK to integrate this into your app.

Tomas, I believe that Apple has rules for donations, when I was reading their materials, I tripped over it and if I remember well, donations must be done through a website, not through an app. Still you can sell some virtual perks like mail with a heart to someone typed by user. Maybe things changed. What you can do is to set up a campaign in a donation server and support it with an app. Cheers! Frogman

This is only for android, play market. Seems more ok at their market. Apple has always taken the wrong path :)

Hi, you could also just describe in the app description that its a donation app, and the price a user pays for is the donation. Cheers. Miguel

I agree with @sandeep create two version and one free add a donate link which opens the paid app.
