How We Accept Tips & Small Donations Using Ko-fi

Ko-fi is the simplest way for fans to support creators with one-time tips or small recurring donations. We use it to offer optional support for our work — everything from app development to 3D model creation.

Part of our Tools We Use series. Ko-fi is not an affiliate link — it’s simply a tool we use to make small contributions easy.

Overview

What Ko-fi Is

Ko-fi is a creator support platform that lets people “buy you a coffee” — or more — as a simple, no-fee donation or tip. It’s built for artists, developers, and studios who want an easy way for fans to give back.

For OnTheCouchStudio, Ko-fi acts as a lightweight donation system that complements Patreon and direct store sales.
