About
Ko-fi is a creator monetization platform that lets artists, streamers, and other creators accept tips, sell digital or physical products, offer memberships, and take commissions — all from a single free page. Creators connect their own PayPal or Stripe accounts and get paid directly and instantly, with Ko-fi taking a 0–5% fee. It is designed to be low-pressure and accessible for creators of all sizes, from beginners to established audiences.
Problem
Creators struggle to earn income directly from their fans without high fees, complex setups, or platforms that control their payments and relationships.
For
Independent creators such as artists, streamers, musicians, and writers
How it works
Creators set up a free Ko-fi page, connect PayPal or Stripe, and share it with fans who can tip, subscribe, or purchase — with funds going directly to the creator's account.
