Buy Me A Coffee can be used to supplement your Patreon page so you can increase your revenue but beyond that, our tool designed with creators in mind offers a whole new way and experience for your audience to support you:
90% of the payments we see for creators are one-time tips so Patreon users are essentially missing out on those.
Have supporters who want to make recurring payments, become monthly sustainers or members of your work and community? We have that feature too!
Unlike Patreon, we make it fun and easy for you to buy someone coffee, tea or beer.
Supporters can choose how much they want to tip the creator, add their name (or be anonymous), leave a comment (if they want) and pay with their desired payment option.
Payments are directly transferred to your PayPal or Stripe/bank accounts--no manual transfers needed from your Buy Me A Coffee dashboard.
We're big proponents of creators having their own agency and access to the financial support they receive from their fans.
Nice, @buymeacoffee, Apple Pay shows up as a payment option! Can’t get any easier than that, love it.
Your supporters can now send you tips via Apple Pay or Google Pay, making it a seamless experience.
We believe that the easier it is we make it for you to get support, the faster your audience will grow.
In today's newsletter, I added a @buymeacoffee link in addition to @Patreon, and it's already proven that I made a good decision.
