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 easy, no-commitment ways 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 triggers a receipt and payout automatically, with no setup beyond connecting your Stripe account.

Fulfillment & receipts

Coffee is a support-only product: it doesn’t 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 in Sales and export them as CSV, JSON, or Markdown.

​
Best practices

  • Choose emojis that match your personality or brand (e.g., ☕ coffee, 🍕 pizza, 🎨 art) and make sure the descriptor matches.
  • Keep your description clear and friendly: explain what contributions help fund.
  • Feature your Coffee page in your link-in-bio.
