Understand the fees for using Buy Me a Coffee

Updated over a month ago

Platform Fee

When you receive support on Buy Me a Coffee, we take a small fee know as platform fee to help improve and develop the platform, making it an even better place for creators. Our goal is to provide a user-friendly experience with clear and fair pricing, so you can focus on your creative work and easily connect with your supporters. The net earnings, will be paid out directly to your bank account.

Unlike other platforms, Buy Me a Coffee doesn’t charge you a monthly fee. Instead, we only apply a 5% platform fee per transaction, which means you get to keep 95% of your earnings while we can also benefit from your work. We only make money when you do.

Payment Processing Fees

We have partnered with Stripe to process our payments. Stripe charges a standard payment processing fee of 2.9% + $0.30 per successful transaction to securely process your payments. Stripe also applies a 0.5% fee for payout processing. In certain cases, extra fees may apply to cover processing costs:

  • +1% for international (outside of the US) transaction

  • +0.5% for subscription payments

This helps us to covers the payout processing charge imposed by Stripe.

We also provide the flexibility for you to choose whether you want to cover the credit card fee from your supporters. Learn more about enabling this option.
