Ko-fi

Fund Your Passions

Ko-fi is the creator-tipping platform that grew sideways into a full storefront, 0% fees on tips and donations, 5% on shop sales (digital or physical), memberships and commissions, or $6/month for Ko-fi Gold to drop all fees to 0%. PayPal and Stripe payouts go direct to creators with no Ko-fi-held funds, no minimums, no waiting periods. POD relevance is BYO: Ko-fi doesn't have native POD partners, sellers package and ship physical merch themselves. Best fit: creators monetising audience first, with merch as a secondary revenue stream.

Ko-fi is the creator-tipping platform with a storefront layer: 0% on tips, 5% on shop and memberships, or $6/mo Ko-fi Gold removes all fees. POD is BYO; pack and ship yourself.
