# Coffees
> Collect one-off support payments or buy me a coffee tips with Sherpo's coffee product.
**Coffee** products give your audience a lightweight way to support your work. Think of them as **branded tip jars**: you set a minimum price, describe what contributions help fund, and Sherpo handles checkout, receipts, and payouts through Stripe Connect.
With Coffee, supporters can quickly send you a small token of appreciation: a coffee, a tip, or a thank-you, directly through your Sherpo site.
If you're looking for a guide about how to **create** Coffee products and change emojis, you can find it here:
Let your audience support you with tips, like buying you a coffee.

## Where Coffee appears
When you publish a Coffee product, it automatically appears on your **homepage** alongside other interactive "Line" products, typically **Calendar** and **Goals**, but it can always be moved to the Product Grid from the product's [Settings](https://docs.sherpo.io/dashboard/overview).

## How supporters contribute
When visitors open your Coffee page, they’ll see the emoji you chose on the right side of the screen, along with the minimum amount they can tip. **Visitors don’t need an account to contribute**: they simply pick a tier (or select an arbitrary number), optionally add a note, and enter their email to receive a receipt.
The checkout flow is optimized for speed: no login required, mobile-friendly, and powered by Stripe for secure payments.
***
### 1. Choose an amount
Visitors choose how many coffees to send: Sherpo instantly updates the total.
***
### 2. Leave a note (optional)
Supporters can include their name and a short thank-you note or message with their contribution: a nice touch for creators who want to connect with fans.
***
### 3. Add an email
Before completing checkout, supporters must add their **email address**. This is where the confirmation and receipt are sent. Logged-in users will see this auto-filled.
***
### 4. Complete checkout
Payments are handled securely through **Stripe** and include multiple methods. Once payment is completed, Sherpo sends a confirmation email and adds the transaction to your **Sales** tab in real time.
***
## Fulfillment & payouts
Coffee payments don’t unlock any content or files: they’re purely one-time support gestures. After each transaction:
* The supporter gets a **receipt and confirmation email**.
* The creator’s connected **Stripe account** receives the payout.
You can view all tips under **Sales** and export them as CSV, JSON, or Markdown.
