## Monetary contributions
|
|
|
|
1. Get a [supporter certificate](https://sandboxie-plus.com/go.php?to=sbie-get-cert) <br>
|
|
A supporter certificate is like a license key and enables the use of new supporter exclusive features, like [Privacy Mode](https://sandboxie-plus.com/privacy-mode/) or [Application Compartment](https://sandboxie-plus.com/compartment-mode/) sandboxes. See the [Feature Comparison](https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/sandboxie-docs/blob/main/Content/FeatureComparison.md) for more details and certificate options. <br>
|
|
|
|
2. Get a [Patreon subscription](https://www.patreon.com/DavidXanatos) <br>
|
|
Patreon certificates are valid for as long as the subscription is active and unlock all features. Patreons who have ended their subscription are entitled to a residual certificate corresponding to the total amount of their support. See also [how to renew a Patreon supporter certificate](https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie/issues/2144).
|
|
|
|
3. Donate with [PayPal](https://sandboxie-plus.com/go.php?to=donate)
|
|
|
|
4. Donate with cryptocurrencies <br>
|
|
In order to arrange custom payments with cryptocurrencies, please get in touch by [email](https://xanasoft.com/contact/).

## Non-monetary contributions
|
|
|
|
Contributor certificates do not expire (regardless of how many PCs you own) and are available to all people who open meaningful [pull requests](https://docs.github.com/articles/creating-a-pull-request) or provide continued support to the [Sandboxie-docs](https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/sandboxie-docs) / [Sandboxie](https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie) repositories.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
1. You could add a new Sandboxie Plus translation for the language of your country, see also [Localization notes and tips](https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie/discussions/1123#discussioncomment-1203489).
|
|
2. You could help to keep updated our [Sandboxie-docs repository](https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/sandboxie-docs) by providing a number of meaningful changes. More volunteers are needed to keep it constantly updated with the new introduced settings mentioned in the [CHANGELOG.md](./CHANGELOG.md) file.
|
|
3. You could provide new code changes that fix a specific Sandboxie functionality or introducing a new one.
|
|
4. You could offer your availability to become a [collaborator](https://docs.github.com/en/account-and-profile/setting-up-and-managing-your-personal-account-on-github/managing-personal-account-settings/permission-levels-for-a-personal-account-repository#collaborator-access-for-a-repository-owned-by-a-personal-account) in the [Sandboxie-docs](https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/sandboxie-docs) / [Sandboxie](https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie) repositories (after proving your continued support with open issues and/or sufficient skills to manage pull requests).
