Good question, @edanm. The differentiator b/w Patreon is more than the one-time donation factor. For one, BuyMeACoffee is geared towards creators of all sizes while Patreon works best for large creators. For one, creators require a Str

It's a popular request, and we avoided this to do justice to the design and the overall minimalist nature of the website. I'll be sure to bring this up in our next brainstorming session. Thanks!

This is a popular request. It was deliberate not to offer multiple currency support. We believe having a unified payment flow will go a long way in improving conversions. Higher conversions = happy creators :) However, we're currently

I get your point, but BuyMeACoffee is more than just a tipping platform. Creators can reward their supporters, showcase supporter comments (which is often more rewarding than the money itself) and much more. MrDots is a game developer who g

Very true!

Spot on. I'm sure it'll have a positive impact on conversions. BTW we'd love to hear more from you. Email is on its way :)

No, and yes. We recently launched a WP plugin ( https://wordpress.org/plugins/buymeacoffee/ ), and a feature-rich widget for websites is on its way.

Very thoughtful feedback, Subhobroto. Good to have you on board. Save button UX is a known issue, although we never thought of it as a 'bug' to fix it. We'll reconsider this. Thanks for noticing. Thanks, and happy to be your

That's a neat idea, Greyson. Currently, supporters can quickly click one of those preset counts (1, 3, 5) to buy more coffees and it seems to be working really well. More than half of the donations are more than one coffee. Welcome to

Welcome to BMC, Don! Crypto support is just around the corner and we're equally excited :)

Welcome to BuyMeACoffee, @songsze. Good to see that you already started receiving coffees :) - Thanks for the suggestion. Our intention is to make the onboarding process as straightforward as possible and we will look into this. That hyperl

Very good question, @kqr. Unlike our competitors, BuyMeACoffee is catering to small and big creators alike. Even if we waive the platform fee for the first 100k creators, there is still room for us to make money as there are millions of cre

Awesome! Crypto - we're on it. It should be live in a week or two max. Thanks for trying us out, and happy to buy your first coffee :)

Both Stripe and Paypal charge a small processing fee (2.9% + 30 cents).

Welcome to BMC, Doreen! It should be fine as long as the Stripe connection is successful. Please try logging in to your Stripe account and see if everything is fine - we just bought you a coffee :) We're a tweet away if there's an

It is to avoid using BuyMeACoffee for money transfer. We lift this limit for 'verified' users. Nice username BTW ;)

Thank you, and these are some great points! - 'About you' is more like a small two-liner that'll show right above the payment widget. - You're right. This is a known issue, and we will fix it with the next update. - BMC
