Voluntary support
Do you like the idea?
Kostnichts is designed to offer the little dopamine moment of online shopping without purchase pressure and without making anyone pay to use it. If you want to support the project voluntarily, you may do so outside this website.
You are always welcome.
The whole website remains free. You do not have to give anything, create an account or explain yourself. Support unlocks no site functions and does not change your experience.
What your contribution can support
A voluntary contribution can help with ongoing costs such as the domain, hosting, technical infrastructure, maintenance and security work. It buys no product and creates no right to new features, personal assistance or a particular period of availability.
No guilt. No pressure.
Please contribute only if it feels easy and genuinely voluntary. Closing the page, deciding later or never contributing is completely fine. The idea works only if nobody feels they must pay for access.
Clearly separate from the simulation
The simulated cart always ends at €0.00. Real support is technically and legally separate. It is not a purchase of displayed items, an order or consideration for using the site.
Data-minimal on Kostnichts
Kostnichts has no embedded payment form. Only after you open the external provider does it process the data required for payment under its own terms. Kostnichts may receive only a payment confirmation and details you choose to share.
Payment starts only on the next website.
The button opens Buy Me a Coffee. It shows the amount, payment method and any recurring interval before you confirm. Kostnichts does not collect payment data here.
