## What Ko-fi is

Ko-fi is a platform for creators, including artists and streamers, to earn income from their fans. It supports tips, memberships, product sales and commissions. Creators can create an account for free and choose their own pricing, terms of sale, delivery, refunds and supporter communication.

Creators connect a PayPal or Stripe account so payments go directly to them. They can offer tips, memberships, products and commissions from the same account, then use Ko-fi widgets, embeds and shareable links on their websites and social profiles. The Standard plan costs $0 a month plus a 5% service fee; Gold costs $12 a month with no service fee.

Pricing: Creating an account is free; the Standard plan is $0 per month plus a 5% service fee, while Gold is $12 per month with a 0% service fee.
