Get Paid Into Your PayPal & Stripe Account
Unlike most other services on Ko-fi, you get paid directly into your own Stripe and/or PayPal account.
Should I Use a Personal or Business PayPal Account?
You can connect to a personal or business PayPal account. We recommend using a PayPal Business account if you can. PayPal Business gives you more control over what information is shared by PayPal when you receive payment. Upgrading to business can be done from your PayPal dashboard and allows you to control the name and email shown on PayPal screens and emails.
