GiveTunes Request to receive payments or donations in the form of
Music Download Gift Certificate credits

How it Works

Simply add a GiveTunes button to your site. This will link to your preferred music download service (presently we support iTunes or Napster). When a payer or donor clicks the link it will take them to the gift certificate page of the music service. From here, they can then purchase and send you music download credits. No fees, all they need is your name and email address.

FAQ

What is GiveTunes?: Well, have you ever seen those cool pay and donate buttons that link to sites like PayPal? GiveTunes is a simple and FREE way to let people know that they can offer you payments or donations in the form of Music Downloads instead of cash.

But why would I do this?: Well, there are no fees for sending these gift certificates. So if you're going to end up buying music anyway, you can avoid the PayPal-fees and spend 100% of your earnings.

Who should use this?: Anyone who accepts payments or donations, but would prefer music credits instead of plain cash -such as: bloggers; shareware authors; content creators; people hitting up relatives for gifts; etc.

What's the bottom line?
What Gives?
: Hopefully YOU, we are supposedly entering the "iPod Economy" so it's our hope that this simple method of linking will help facilitate the use of Legal Downloads as a form of currency.
Thanks and have fun!
