Don't let them sip too much of your free coffees. .
Sherpo offers much better commissions and an all-in-one platform to sell much more than simple digital products!
TL;DR
As a content creator, you work hard to engage your audience and attract new customers, often through free content. Platforms like Buy Me a Coffee let your fans support you with small contributions (“coffees”). But here’s the catch—they take a 5% sip of your earnings.
At Sherpo, we believe that more of your profits should belong to you. With our Italian roots, rest assured—we’ve already had enough coffee and don’t need a huge sip of yours! That’s why Sherpo only takes a tiny 1% fee. You’ll still cover Stripe processing fees—as you do on Buy Me a Coffee—but you keep 5x more of your customer's contributions, with Sherpo.
And we don’t stop at tipping. While Buy Me a Coffee offers basic tools, Sherpo empowers you to sell courses, digital downloads, and more—all with full control over your brand.
Let’s explore why creators are making the switch to Sherpo.
| Feature | Sherpo | Buy Me a Coffee |
|---|---|---|
| Transaction Fee | 1% flat fee | 5% flat fee |
| Sell digital products | ✓ | Limited |
| Fully white label | ✓ | ✗ |
| Course builder | ✓ | ✗ |
| AI tools for creators | ✓ | ✗ |
Buy Me a Coffee works fine for tipping, but if you want to scale your business and own your brand, its limitations stand out:
Buy Me a Coffee charges a 5% transaction fee on contributions and product sales—on top of payment processing fees. Over time, that adds up. Sherpo, by comparison, takes only 1%.
Buy Me a Coffee ties your business to their platform’s brand. You get limited customization, but your audience always sees “Buy Me a Coffee.”
With Sherpo, you control a fully white-labeled experience. Use custom domains and branded storefronts so customers interact with your brand first, not ours.
Buy Me a Coffee supports basic digital product sales, but that’s where it stops. Want to sell courses, build interactive pages, or host videos? You’ll need additional tools.
Sherpo combines everything you need in one place—digital products, courses, subscriptions, and more.
Sherpo’s 1% fee is the industry’s lowest. Compare:
| Monthly Revenue | Sherpo Fee | Buy Me a Coffee Fee |
|---|---|---|
| $100 | $1 (1%) | $5 (5%) |
| $500 | $5 (1%) | $25 (5%) |
| $1,000 | $10 (1%) | $50 (5%) |
Let’s just say, we get a free coffee every $100 you receive; Buy Me a Coffee, on the other hand, gets one every $20!
Sherpo lets you sell digital files, courses, and more—all under your brand. From white-labeled storefronts to custom domains, you’re in charge of the customer experience.
Buy Me a Coffee, on the other hand, keeps your business tied to their platform.
