What is Ko-fi Shop?

[@flamoonigirlolivia]

🌟🎶💚 I can't believe you have just created exactly what I needed!! I was about to open an Etsy but your site is so much easier and nicer thank you Kofi!!

[@lilacghostie]

I cannot wait to use this feature. Thank you so much Ko-fi for everything you do!

[@Kofi_button]

Little update, nearly 4,000 creators have added a Ko-fi Shop now. You can now add Pay What You Want pricing and offer buyers access to additional rewards! ko-fi.com/blog for the latest developments!

This is really great! Thank you ko-fi for being such a great service to creators!

[@poulamisaha1181]

I simply don't know how to say thank you to Ko-fi! This site is absolutely amazing! Sending loads of love❤️😍

[@hirahiro2331]

I've open a Ko-Fi and it seems and feels better!

[@makekong]

Awesome!

[@KamillsWorld]

Will you ever make a app for the site?

[@willcartoonsofficial]

I started a Ko-Fi site and love the format and your features. I am a bit frustrated because my Instagram and Twitter followers don’t seem to be interested in a $2 comic. I don’t want to give up on this, but I feel like I want to.

[@Scarshadow666]

How about opening a booth somewhere in-person and/or looking up if there's a local art community in your area that can help with selling art and merch? With a lot of social medias like Twitter and Instagram, algorithms don't always tend to favor certain artists, but maybe there's people in-person that would enjoy your comics better locally?

any info how international shipping works? thanks!

[@kirasaaan3648]

I wish someone could answer a question I have... I have a teepublic shop for physical items Is it possible to link that shop with my kofi shop?

[@SQUlDWARD]

Ty 💕

[@ranoaghost1361]

But there isn't a cart like option is it? I will have to pay shipping for each item even if I could just buy several things from the artist/person :(

[@Kofi_button]

Hey thanks for checking out Ko-fi Shop, we're working on the cart function right now, will be available very soon :) We've added a "pay what you want" option and a way to use shop sales to unlock supporter only content too. Cart is coming very soon

[@ranoaghost1361]

@@Kofi_button OMG that so exiting news!!! Thanks for such hard work

[@Kofi_button]

The cart is live now! I hope it works well for you

[@semitono]

Any info about Tax and European VAT management?

[@Kofi_button]

Sure, you can set your Sales Tax and VAT rates for wherever you are due to pay tax from the link at the bottom of your Ko-fi Shop. Hope that helps :)

[@drawhanidraw]

Thank you 💖❤️

can ko-fi be used to sell video games, steam cost like $100 to upload and using ko-fi can help be a starting line.

Hello there! I have a question. From my understanding, the donations goes directly to our paypal/stripe accounts which means every transaction will be charged the fixed fee of 0.30$ by paypal/stripe. I want to know if there is some option to mitigate the number of transactions like aggregate a certain value of donations then proceed to a transaction?

[@sellington79669]

PayPal and Stripe do charge their normal fees on transactions, but we would prefer creators to get the money as soon as they make a sale and not have to wait.

[@psalias0]

@@sellington79669 Thanks to your reply. That's an advantage not to have to wait. I just asked if there was a way to mitigate the number of transactions with the intent to minimize the impact of the fixed fee of 0.30$ per donation, especially in small donations like 1$. I'm guessing there isn't an option as such. I like what i'm seeing in this platform and I hope in the future Ko-Fi offers an efficient option as described above. Thanks for you time and have a good day.

One question I want to sell an ebook consisted of poems and stories I wrote is it possible??

[@Kofi_button]

Yes absolutely! Go for it 😀

[@daRalu11]

Only paypal or stripe is used? We can't use to pay directly with a card? or withdraw to a card?

[@sellington79669]

Stripe and PayPal both have direct card options so people can pay with card and Stripe connects directly to your bank so you can set it up to receive payments straight away.

[@askhj9204]

I have one question can I open my shop to sell e-books,templates and planners for free or you charge certain amount from the payment I get everytime I make a sell?

[@Kofi_button]

Yep you absolutely can! You choose to either pay 5% of the sale price with no subscription to Ko-fi Gold or 0% of the sale price if you subscribe to Ko-fi Gold.

awesome
