Deductions from Stripe explained
What you receive as a creator depends on the number of transactions or support you receive and the corresponding amounts. When Stripe, our payment partner, processes these transactions, the following deductions occur:
Stripe charges a fee based on 0.3 times the number of transactions (n) plus 2.9% of the support amount (x).
The result of this calculation covers the payment processing charge imposed by Stripe.
What Buy Me a Coffee Earns?
Buy Me a Coffee earns only 5% of the creator's earnings, which is deducted separately. We use this money primarily to 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. Also, in some cases, an extra fee may be deducted for international (Outside of the US) transactions, which will be 1% of the payment amount. This is due to the high network costs that we incur processing these transactions.
