New: Pay by bank transfer

Thanks to our partner Fastspring who do all purchase processing on our website it is now also possible to use bank transfer for purchases on our website. This service is available in most European and Asian countries where credit cards and PayPal are not so common.

When choosing bank transfer on checkout you will then receive an invoice together with payment instructions (namely the account information for a bank account in your country). After having received the money fastspring will immediately send you the receipt and the license code.
It is even possible to switch your payment method after having placed your order. If you don't want to wait for bank booking times (though it's only one day in Germany) you can easily change your mind and pay your invoice with your credit card.

We think this is a great feature that will make payment much easier for a lot of people here in Europe. Actually most of our friends don't have credit cards here and even one of us (who prefers to stay unnamed) doesn't have one. (For all US readers: that is because you don't need one in Europe. You can pay anything using your bank account card. Google for  'EC', 'VPay' or 'Maestro').

By the way in case you yourself are looking for a service to process purchases (maybe you, too, are an indie developer) we can really recommend Fastspring. They have great service, low rates and it is  straightforward to set up your own store there. Actually it is quite the opposite to Apple's iTunesConnect.
