GitHub Sponsors allows for one-time donations (using the buttons next to "Select a
tier") as well as custom amounts. **For currencies other than Euro or Swiss Francs, this
is the preferred donation method.** GitHub uses https://stripe.com/[Stripe] to accept
payment via credit carts without any fees. Billing via PayPal is available as well, with
less fees than a direct PayPal transaction.
Alternatively, the following donation methods are available -- note that
eligibility for swag (shirts/stickers/etc.) is handled on a case-by-case basis

Is it possible to contribute via a one-time donation instead?::
If you prefer a one-time donation, there are various possibilities:
+
- Select a tier which covers the total amount you'd like to donate (note that
payments are prorated based on the current date). After the payment is
processed, cancel your GitHub sponsors subscription again. This has a big
benefit: There are no fees deducted from your amount.
+
- Sign up for a lower recurring donation instead.
+
- Do so via the https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser#donating[existing
donation methods]. Rewards (shirts/stickers/swag) are handled on a
case-by-case basis as GitHub's matching fund isn't applicable and there might
be relatively high fees which make this tricky.

- If you want to contribute via a one-time donation and want to make sure
you'll receive a reward, you might want to sign up to the
https://lists.schokokeks.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/qutebrowser-announce[qutebrowser-announce]
mailinglist and wait until there is an official way to do so. It's planned to
set this up at a later date. Note that the thresholds for perks will be
higher because those donations aren't matched by GitHub and fees are
relatively high.
Yes! GitHub Sponsors allows for one-time donations (including custom amounts) using
the buttons next to "Select a tier". Alternatively, see the
https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser#donating[readme] for other donation
methods, but note that physical rewards (stickers/shirts) for such donations are
handled on a case-by-case basis due to the higher administrative overhead and fees.
I'd like a certain reward (e.g. a t-shirt) but I'd prefer making a smaller monthly donation. Can I upgrade via a one-time donation?::
It's planned to set up a donation page to allow this at a later date.
However, the thresholds for perks will be higher because those donations
aren't matched by GitHub and fees are relatively high. Note that you can
switch tiers on GitHub sponsors at any time.
GitHub allows for one-time donations (see the previous question). For physical
rewards, your total contributions will be summed up, so you can indeed make a
one-time donation to "upgrade". Before rewards are ordered, all sponsors will be
contacted with their total donation amount so that they can still upgrade, if
desired.
GitHub tries to charge me for an entire year. What gives?::

an option to not get any merch at all.
Can I select my own amount rather than using the predefined tiers?::
Unfortunately, GitHub sponsors doesn't support this at the moment. The
existing tiers should hopefully cover various options. If you disagree,
please mailto:mail@qutebrowser.org[get in touch] - I might be able to add a
new sponsorship tier.
At the bottom of the tier list, GitHub allows specifying a custom donation amount.
When will rewards be shipped?::
Rewards will be ordered and subsequently shipped once it's clear how many
people are eliglible. The cut-off date for the donation goals is May
2020, so rewards will likely be shipped Q2/2020. This also applies to tiers
which make you eliglible for a certain perk immediately, though stickers
might be shipped earlier depending on how many people this affects.
Due to COVID-19, the Swiss Post currently
https://service.post.ch/vgkklp/info/informationen/Verkehrseinschraenkungen?lang=en[only
accepts priority letters for many countries], including the US. Especially for the
t-shirts, the difference between economy and priority shipments is quite
significant. For the shirts, I estimate I'd spend a total of $250 to $1500 on
*extra* postage. Thus, shipping is currently on hold until the shipping situation
resolves. There's currently no ETA for that happening, but rest assured everyone
will be notified (if contact details are available) once there are news.
I'd like some stickers, but I can't donate anything because of my financial situation.::
