I don't have a PayPal account

Ko-fi lets supporters pay you instantly into your own PayPal or Stripe account. There's no waiting time involved—payments go to you directly and immediately!

PayPal is globally recognized and gives your fans the confidence to support you. Creating a PayPal account is quick and easy. Just head over to your Payment Settings on Ko-fi and tap “Connect” to start the process.

You can also check if PayPal is available in your country here.

Connect to Stripe

We understand that PayPal might not be for everyone, so we also offer Stripe as an additional or alternative payment method. We recommend adding Stripe even if you're using PayPal.

Stripe lets you receive card payments and unlocks fast and convenient payment options such as Apple Pay and Google Pay. If you'd like to learn more about connecting to Stripe, we've got all the details for you here.

Wondering where Stripe is available? Take a look at our help article for more info.

Will Ko-fi add other payment methods?

Currently we offer PayPal and Stripe, but feel free to request additional options here (we do read every request). The most common requests are for Payoneer, Wise, GCash, CashApp, Payeer and direct bank transfers.

We're always on the lookout for new ways to support our incredible creators. Our goal is to make sure you have all the tools you need to thrive and receive support from your amazing fans.

If you have any other questions or need assistance, our support team is always here to help. 

Keep up the fantastic work, and happy creating! 🎨✨
