I'm looking for a simple way to support Phoenix

Thank you for your explanation, Burt.

I think what's missing is a simple way to support CE Phoenix Cart, without monthly software updates and developers having to meet expectations about the software's technical development. A kind of monthly passive contribution to you developers, for the security of the supported versions and for forum support when problems arise, and at a slightly lower price than the PRO member offer.

Not all users are so technically savvy and simply want to advance their business with this web software.

Phoenix runs stably and is easy to maintain. You can easily make small changes without needing a Phoenix master's degree. Furthermore, there are no license fees for the platforms used (PHP/MySQL).

Thank you for your comment. I appreciate you taking the time.

The old "PRO" model has ended.

Now, support is simple. If your business uses Phoenix and you want to help it continue, you can contribute in two ways:
  1. Financial support - helps pay for security updates, compatibility fixes, and forum support.
  2. Practical support - helping other users in the forum, testing updates, sharing solutions, and so on.
I understand that shopowners need to, first and foremost, run their business.
Financial or practical support both help keep Phoenix stable and safe.

Phoenix already runs reliably - any contribution helps make sure it stays that way. If Phoenix makes money for your business, giving back in any way that works for you helps keep it running for everyone.

How to give Practical Support

Give your time to the project. Answer another users question. Help with testing. Get involved in discussions, or even start new discussions.
