We have all been there. You find a great new app you want to try, but buying it feels like running an obstacle course. You have to visit a website, create an account, verify your email, and finally type in your credit card details. It is a huge hassle just to get started.
What if you could skip all that? With the new InstallAware X18, you can. It lets developers sell their apps right inside the setup wizard. There is no need to open a web browser or fill out long forms. It makes the whole process smooth and simple.
Fast and Simple Payments
The best part about this new feature is how fast it is. When a user wants to buy your software, the payment transfers securely in 3 seconds or less. It uses the Solana blockchain to move the funds directly from the user to you.
For the customer, it is effortless. They do not need to sign up for anything or create a new account. They simply use their Solana wallet to pay right there in the installer window. It is discreet and keeps their personal data secure.
Keep More Money
If you sell software, you know that payment processors and app stores love to take a big cut of your earnings. Some take up to 30% of every sale. That hurts your bottom line.
InstallAware changes the game here. They only charge a 1% processing fee. That means you keep almost all of the money you earn. It is a much fairer deal for the people who actually build the software.
Easy Reinstalls for Everyone
We all worry about losing our software if our computer crashes or if we buy a new laptop. Usually, you have to dig through old emails to find a license key. It is stressful and annoying.
With InstallAware X18, looking up a past purchase is instant. Because the transaction is recorded on the blockchain, the installer can check if the user already paid. If they did, they can reinstall the app as many times as they want for free. It saves time for them and cuts down on support emails for you.
Safe and Trustworthy
Security is a big deal when money is involved. This system uses a special program written in Rust, which is a very secure programming language. It creates a “trustless” payment, which just means you do not have to trust a middleman to tell the truth. The math proves the sale happened.
Also, InstallAware supports Azure Trusted Signing. This helps your software earn instant trust from Windows, so users know your installer is safe to run.
Why This Matters
Selling software should not be hard. By putting the payment step inside the installer, you make it easier for people to give you money. You get paid faster, pay lower fees, and give your customers a better experience. It is a win for everyone.
