You can learn more about GNU Taler on our main <a href="{site}">website</a>.
This is the donation page.
Using this page you can make donations in {currency} to Free Software projects.
Select your payment method
This is an example for a "checkout" page of a Web shop.
On the previous page, you have created the shopping cart and decided which product to buy (i.e. which project to donate KUDOS to).
As Taler is not yet universally used, we expect merchants will offer various payment options.
To continue with the demo, select the "Taler" payment option.
Note that you must select Taler here for the demo to continue, as the other payment options are just placeholders and not really working in the demonstration.
It would be possible to ask the user to make this choice already on the previous page (with the shopping cart); we just separated the two steps to keep each step as simple as possible.

Donation Receipt
Thank you, <strong>{donor}</strong>, for donating <strong>{amount}</strong> to <strong>{receiver}</strong>.
Please keep the order identifier <strong>{id}</strong> as a receipt for your donation.
You can show other people that you donated by sharing <a href="{link}">this link</a> with them.
You can always make <a href="{link}">another donation</a>.
Donate to Free Software projects
This donations website shows the user experience for donations with GNU Taler.
You can make donations in a toy currency ({currency})
Please select a project, the amount (*) of {currency} you wish to donate, and enter the donor's name that will appear on your receipt:
Anonymous Donor
Donate!
(*) To make the demo a bit more interesting, the 5 {currency} option is deliberately implemented with a fault: the merchant will try to make you donate 6 {currency} instead of the 5 {currency} shown in the form. But do not worry, you will be given the opportunity to review the final offer from the merchant in the Taler wallet. That way, Taler protects you from committing to erroneous payments.
Payment Provider Not Supported
Unfortunately the selected payment provider is not supported in this demo.
Please go back and select "Taler".
This is the GNU Taler demo.
Here you can try out the GNU Taler payment system using a toy currency.
Step 1: Install the Taler wallet
Install the wallet from the <a href="{link}">installation page</a>.
Installation only takes one click.
After installation, you may be asked to grant the browser-based Taler wallet additional optional permissions that allow it to improve your user experience.
These permissions will allow the wallet to automatically open if a page asks for a Taler payment.
Regardless of the permissions you grant, the wallet will never transmit information about you or your browsing history to anyone.
Step 2: Withdraw coins
In this demo you are paying with {currency}, an imaginary currency.
To withdraw {currency} coins you must first create an account at our <a href="{bank}">bank</a>.
Signing up only requires you to pick a username and password.
When you create an account at our bank, you will be credited 100 {currency} for signing up.
Afterwards, use the bank's Web interface to authorize the transfer of {currency} to your wallet.
Once you have completed this step, you can click on the Taler icon in your browser to check your balance.
Step 3: Pay
We have two demo merchants where you can spend your coins:
At the <a href="{blog}">essay store</a> you can pay in {currency} for individual chapters of Richard Stallman's book "Free Software, Free Society".
The book is also available for free at <a href="{fsf}">the FSF</a>.
At the project <a href="{donations}">donation website</a> you can show respect to a software project of your choice by donating {currency} to them.
Step 4: Check money flow
You can see the wire transfers from the escrow account of the exchange to the merchants on the <a href="{bank}">public accounts page</a> of the bank.
Note that only accounts configured to be publicly viewable are shown on that page.
Step 5: Survey
Websites can give rewards to visitors for completing tasks.
You can earn some {currency} coins by filling in our <a href="{url}">survey</a>.
Step 6: Reach out to us
We appreciate feedback about Taler and this demonstrator.
Let us know what you think by <a href="{link}">contacting us</a>.
This page demonstrates how to reward visitors for completing small tasks.
Rewarding is a way of offering cash rewards that go straight into a user's wallet.
