How money reaches you

Ko-fi doesn't hold your money: supporters pay straight into your own PayPal or Stripe account, and Ko-fi says those are currently its only payment options. So using Ko-fi depends on having one of those accounts where you live.

হবে নাকি Coffee?

  1. Supporter

    Pays in taka with bKash, Nagad or card

  2. হবে নাকি Coffee?

    Adds it to your balance, in taka

  3. You

    Withdraw to bKash, Nagad, Rocket or bank

Ko-fi

  1. Supporter

    Pays through PayPal or Stripe

  2. Your PayPal or Stripe account

  3. Your bank

    On PayPal's or Stripe's own terms

Ko-fi's page currencies don't include taka. Before you set up Ko-fi, check that PayPal or Stripe can receive payments in your country.

Which one fits you?

Pick হবে নাকি Coffee? if

  • You don't have a PayPal or Stripe account that can receive payments where you live
  • Your supporters would rather pay in taka with bKash or Nagad
  • You want your dashboard, and your supporters' checkout, in Bangla
  • You sell physical products and want cash on delivery

Ko-fi may suit you if

  • You already get paid through PayPal or Stripe and want money to land there directly
  • You mainly take one-off tips and want 0% on them with Ko-fi Free
  • You sell commissions and want a built-in commissions workflow
  • Most of your supporters are outside Bangladesh

Switching from Ko-fi

Move at your own pace. You don't need to close your Ko-fi page first.

  1. Create your page

    Sign up with your email and set up your profile.

  2. Recreate your offers

    One-off tips become coffee gifts, memberships become membership plans, supporter-only posts become members-only posts, and shop items move to your shop. Commissions don't have a direct match yet; you can sell a fixed-price service as a digital product and agree the details with your buyer.

  3. Export your supporters

    Make a list of the supporters you're allowed to contact from your Ko-fi account, and only reach out in ways they've agreed to.

  4. Tell your audience

    Share your new link on Ko-fi, your socials and your bio.

  5. Keep Ko-fi running a while

    Monthly supporters on Ko-fi stay billed through PayPal or Stripe until they cancel. Give them a clear date and a reason to join you, and keep your Ko-fi page running until then.

  6. Set up withdrawals

    Verify your ID and add bKash, Nagad, Rocket or a bank account.

Good to know

We don't import supporters, members or orders from other platforms. Your supporters join you by choice, and we're happy to help you set things up.
