@jakecrump Thanks, Jake! 🙌
Creators instantly receive the coffee $$ if they set up Stripe. For peeps using Paypal, there's a small payout threshold ($10) –– but it's much easier and offers a lot more payment methods.

I've been using BMC on a blog for the last 3 months and I love the experience.
I'd like to start using Coffeelinks on a SaaS project but this bothers me :
-> How can you secure the link to be accessible only through the coffeelink?
@joseph_sunny do you provide an API so we can check the user accessing the link paid on the coffeelink? Or through any other means?
If not, how do you ensure someone will not pay and share the discovered link/content to their friends?
@cedricleruth Hey Cedric, thanks for being a long time user <3
Like mentioned in one of Jijo's previous comments, we cannot stop buyers from sharing the link after purchase. We understand that this is a concern for many creators, but the same can be done with most digital purchases when we think of it :)
Coffeelinks is a simple tool for creators to quickly create and sell online and not a complete sales tool. We lack in many common sales features like generating license keys, invoices etc. We hope to make up for it by focusing on simplicity and improved conversion rates 💯
Thanks for the thoughtful suggestions, Don!
We'll take the button issues seriously. We're also in the works to offer an embeddable widget which will facilitate payments right from your website. Cheers!
@willgallahue We use PayPal and Stripe to accept payments via all major credit cards, Apple Pay, Android Pay and Paypal.
Stripe recently announced that they'll soon add more payment methods for EU (iDEAL, Giropay); so more to come!
