Buy Me a Coffee review

Buy Me a Coffee sits seventh as a simple, low-cost route for creators who mostly collect support. After connecting a server under Integrations, you edit any membership level and tick the option that gives members access to selected Discord roles. When a member connects Discord they are invited to the server and given that level's role, and Buy Me a Coffee removes the role if they cancel. Each level can carry its own role, and the bot needs to sit above any existing role you want it to assign. The help center states a 5% platform fee per transaction and no monthly fee, with Stripe charging 2.9% plus $0.30, plus 1% on international payments and 0.5% on subscription payments. Memberships can bill monthly or yearly, and the page also handles tips, posts and a shop. What it lacks is the trial, coupon and tier depth of dedicated Discord tools.
