Frequently asked questions
What URL does the Ko-fi QR code encode?
The QR code encodes https://ko-fi.com/yourusername. Scanning it opens your Ko-fi public page where visitors can send tips, purchase from your shop, or book a commission.
How do I find my Ko-fi username?
Log into Ko-fi and view your public page URL — the segment after ko-fi.com/ is your username. You can also check it under Account Settings in the Ko-fi dashboard.
Does Ko-fi charge any platform fees?
Ko-fi's free plan charges 0% platform fee on donations and tips, making it unique among creator support platforms. Payment processing fees (via PayPal or Stripe) still apply at their standard rates.
Can supporters buy commissions through the Ko-fi QR code?
Yes. If you have Ko-fi Commissions enabled, visitors who land on your page can browse and purchase commission slots directly. The QR code links to your full profile, not just the tip button.
What are the best places to display a Ko-fi QR code for artists?
Artist alley tables at anime or comic conventions, the back of art prints, sticker sheets, sketchbooks, digital art printouts, portfolio binders, and craft fair signage are all effective locations.
Does a supporter need a Ko-fi account to send a tip?
No. Supporters can tip using PayPal as a guest or connect a card via Stripe without creating a Ko-fi account. This low-friction experience typically leads to higher conversion rates.
