@dshan Meet your new MG subscriber, Derek :) Welcome to BMC 🎉 Platform fee associated has been waived.

@curiousigor Sounds great, Igor. Loved your username BTW 🔥 We just waived your platform fee. Enjoy your first coffee :) ☕

@drew 💯😺

@marketplicity Thanks, Chris! - It was intentional not to offer subscriptions for the sake of simplicity and focus on quick one-time payments. Also, Patreon is doing a good job at subscription model supporting. However, it is one of the most requested features and we'll definitely think of ways to implement it in a subtle and unobtrusive manner. - Yes! More widget styles and designs coming soon :) Meanwhile, we ask our creators to play around with our Brand assets: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/dow...

@evivz Thanks a lot, Vivek!

@igamesdev Thanks Vladimirs!

@jdbb Welcome to BMC, Jenna! Platform fee associated with your account has been waived, and enjoy your first coffee on the house 😁 ☕

@josephholguin Thanks, glad you like it :)

@metalhaze Haha, we all despise Paypal, but Stripe is becoming the industry standard for business payments, and we recommend it to our users. Are you sure you're talking about payout and not payments? Because you cannot 'receive' a payment via Apple Pay or some other services you mentioned. If you mean supporter payment, we only allow Stripe at the moment. It's simple and straightforward and takes less than 30 seconds to pay. Check out a sample page: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/mik... Hope this clarifies :)

@joseph_sunny Ok sounds good! In regards to the "Apple Pay" method, I was referring to how iMessage users can use the iMessage platform to quickly send money to other iPhone users. So if the person has an iPhone and a debit card connected to it in Wallet, they can quickly send me money, with no fees. (with a $3000 transfer limit) https://support.apple.com/explor... Similar method applies with Cash app, Venmo, etc. except those platforms are device agnostic and not strictly tied to the Apple platform. To receive a payment with Cash, all I need to do is share my Cash link: https://cash.me/$ahazel

@metalhaze Yes, we'll add more payment methods down the road. We're thinking of ways to implement this without causing any clutter. Thanks for all the suggestions!

@metalhaze Quick update: as promised, more payment methods are here. BMC now support Paypal, credit cards, Apply Pay and Android Pay 🎊

@cohnen Thanks, Ernesto! You're right, and we see many similar use-cases on the platform. Meet Ivory Faye – a Tumblr blogger who casually suggest coffee support after 'tarot reading': https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Ivo... Button looks neat on your site BTW 🙌 We've waived the lifetime platform fees associated with your account. Welcome to BMC! 🎉

@wesleylivesay Spot on. Making the product minimal and frictionless was our #1 priority from day one. Thanks for trying us out, Wesley. We've waived your platform fees, and glad to be the first supporter on your page! 🥂

@alvinmilton Awesome! Thank you, Alvin.

@delahuntagram Whoa, that's one of the neatest-looking Buy Me A Coffee pages we've come across. Let us know when you plan to share with your audience, we'd love to promote it on our social media (https://twitter.com/TheBuyMeACoffee, https://www.instagram.com/thebuy...). Waived your platform fee and bought the first coffee – welcome to BMC 🎉

@joseph_sunny Page is finished now, so feel free to share with your community :)

@delahuntagram Done! :)

@joseph_sunny Hey Joseph, I have people saying they can only pay with credit card even though I selected PayPal? Can someone look into this issue for me. I've missed out on a couple of coffees :(

@delahuntagram Hey David! Sorry to hear that you missed out on coffees :( You're right. We're sticking with direct one-click payment, which is only possible with Stripe. Multiple options (Stripe and Paypal) is for 'payout' and not for supporter 'payment'. Paypal payment requires several redirects and additional details, which won't align with the fast-and-simple approach of BuyMeACoffee. However, I'll bring this up in our next brainstorming session, and see if we can somehow include a Paypal option without causing clutter.

@kanishkkunal Awesome! Hope it'll do well with your open source projects. Platform fee waived ✅ Your first coffee served ✅

@afischzh Thanks, Andreas :) It looks like you have not selected a payout method. Please choose Paypal or Stripe to make your page public. Waiting to buy your first coffee!

@appsapp Wow! Looks excellent, Dario 🙌 We just waived your platform fee, and glad to be your first supporter. Suggestion: White button might look better on your blog. You can customize it from your dashboard:

@vm4canvasflip Thanks Vipul! "Set up the page in less than 30 seconds." - this copy will go well if we ever plan to run ads :) BTW it looks like you have not selected a payout method. Please choose Paypal or Stripe to make your page public.

@poehah Glad you like the product, Maarten. Thanks for the feedback. The plugin has over 120 installs, most of which are our active users who we invited via email when we released the beta. Please head over to the advanced view section to view the complete stats: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bu... We also left a small note inside the release email suggesting them to leave a review if they liked the plugin, which should've helped us get those four positive ratings. I know it looks weird, but Wordpress is apparently taking time to update it's install stats on the main page. Rest assured we're not going to risk the software we built just to look good :)

@joseph_sunny just FYI, downloads is something else than active installs :-). Anyway, if the numbers are real, that's great!

@poehah Thank you :)

Thanks @rrhoover! People are using it in ways we never imagined. One such is called LittleHandsBigHearts, a small group of people passionate about helping those less fortunate than ourselves on the Island of Bali ️❤️: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/v4J.... They raised $250 within 2 weeks 🎉 We're waiving any platform fee for all charities. Embeddable buttons – users can generate one from their dashboard (HTML or Image) or use the official WP plugin.

@joseph_sunny haven't had luck with the WP Plugin. Got a header error on one site and I figured it was a conflict with the theme, so I tried it on another but just get a blank screen on that one when I try to connect my account.

@dontheideaguy Sorry for the trouble, Don. We are aware of the occasional plugin conflicts. Pushing an update first thing tomorrow to fix this. Meanwhile, please generate the button from your BuyMeACoffee dashboard. UPDATE: We've just pushed an update after crushing all those bugs: https://wordpress.org/plugins/bu...
