The Coffee product lets you collect quick, one-off tips from your audience. It’s perfect for creators, writers, streamers, and small businesses that want to offer an easy, no-commitment way to support their work. Supporters can send you a few “coffees,” add a thank-you note, and complete checkout in seconds through Stripe. Each contribution automatically triggers a receipt and payout, with no setup required beyond connecting your Stripe account.

​
Customize your emoji and label

Next, go to Coffee customization to personalize your Coffee product by selecting an emoji and a short label, also known as the descriptor.
Coffee Customization
By clicking on the emoji, you can choose how your tip is displayed. For example, ☕ coffee, 🍺 beer, 🎁 gift, and more.
Coffee Emoji Customization
Then, choose a descriptor. Most creators make sure it matches the selected emoji. Once saved, these settings apply instantly across your checkout and live Coffee page.

​
Build your Coffee product page

Under Page Builder, you can fully customize how your Coffee product page looks using Sherpo’s powerful, lego-like builder.

​
Coffee-specific blocks

Inside the Coffee Page Builder, you will see a Get block alongside the Pages and Content blocks. Like in every other Sherpo product, these blocks are mandatory and cannot be deleted or hidden. If not populated, they will simply not render. For Coffee products, Get also contains the product-specific tipping interface, where users can select how many coffees to buy or enter a custom amount, add their name, write a message, and leave their email.
Coffee Pages Block
All of this is included by default in the Aside Column, which displays the blocks on the right. You are free to remove them from the column and position them wherever you prefer. Sherpo simply ensures that all mandatory blocks are present before allowing you to update the page.

​
Product-specific blocks

All product Page Builders include an additional Product block category. These blocks are specific to the product type and power the core functionality of the page.
Product-specific blocks
These blocks usually include:
  • Get — The purchase or unlock interface for the product.
  • Summary — A compact overview of product metrics or highlights.
  • Review — Displays review ratings and feedback from customers.
  • Pages — Lists internal pages such as lessons, episodes, or product sections.
  • Content — Displays the files or content included in the product.
Like other mandatory blocks, some of these may already be included in your layout and cannot be deleted, but you are free to move them anywhere within your page.

​
Page builder

The rest of the Page Builder behaves exactly like the Site Builder. If you want to discover more about our blocks and building pages, check this out.

Build and customize your page by stacking and composing blocks. Powerful under the hood, simple to use.

​
Fulfillment & receipts

Coffee is a support-only product. It does not unlock content or files. After each transaction:
  • The supporter receives an automatic email receipt.
  • Funds are transferred to your connected Stripe account.
You can track all transactions under Sales and export them as CSV, JSON, or Markdown.

​
Best practices

  • Choose emojis that match your personality or brand, such as ☕ coffee, 🍕 pizza, or 🎨 art, and make sure the descriptor matches.
  • Include a description with Markdown block, and make it clear and friendly. Explain what the contributions help fund.
  • Feature your Coffee page in your link-in-bio.
