Setting up your Buy Me a Coffee page isn’t complete until you set up your payout method. Without setting up payouts, your page won’t be visible to supporters, meaning you won’t be able to receive any support. The good news is that we’re supported in over 130 countries, and adding your bank information to collect the support you receive takes less than three minutes. This article will guide you through the process step by step.
Steps to Set Up Payouts
From your dashboard, head over to the Payout section. You’ll find the option to set up payouts here. Click on the “Set up Payouts” button to begin.
Search for and select your country from the list. Once you have selected it, click Next to proceed.
You’ll be prompted to provide your email and bank account information. Please enter all details correctly to avoid any issues with your payout.
Once you’ve entered your details and completed the form, you’ll be redirected back to your Buy Me a Coffee page.
Now, your payout method is set up, and you are ready to withdraw funds.
