FAQ on Supporter and Member Count

Here is how Supporter Count and Member Count work

This article explains how Supporter Count and Member Count work on your page, what each count includes, how they're calculated, and how to manage their visibility.

Displaying your supporter and member counts can help build trust with new visitors and show the momentum you're building over time. Many creators choose to keep these counts visible to showcase their growing community.

What is Supporter Count?

Supporter Count is the total number of unique people who have supported you at least once.

This includes anyone who has paid you through:

  • Memberships (both active and cancelled)

How is Supporter Count calculated?

Supporter Count includes both one-time supporters and members.

One-time supporters

Anyone who has made a payment through Support (tips) or Shop is counted as a supporter. If the same person makes multiple purchases using the same email address, they're counted only once.
