Do you guys know if any of the other microstock agencies have guest downloads like Canstock has?

I don't understand the term "guest download", I have not heard that before. Can you explain what you mean by that? I would like to help, maybe someone else here is familiar with guest downloads??

It is a guest purchase, available to anyone with no membership required. And you earn more money from it.

OK now I understand. Pixmac is the only one that I have heard lately that does not require a person to register an account before purchasing. There certainly could be more, but I am only familiar with IS, SS, DT, BigStock and Veer, and I believe they all do require an account.

Dreamstime offered guest downloads when I first joined, I seem to remember they (but I'm not 100% positive it was DT) cancelled single transactions because credit card fees were so high on small transactions.

OK, thanks for the replies!

From a contributer's point of view, they're not a good thing, as if an image was found in a context which would have needed an extended licence, but none was purchased, you wouldn't be able to have them chased up so easily.
