Streamers, artists, and indie creators use Ko-fi tip pages — a QR code on your OBS overlay, convention table tent, or merch table lets fans support you without typing a URL. Hosted QR SaaS charges ~$49/month for a static link; you can generate the same PNG locally for free.
Get your Ko-fi page URL
- Log in at Ko-fi and open your public page
- Copy the URL from the address bar — it looks like
https://ko-fi.com/yourname - Optional: append
/donatefor the direct tip form
Examples:
https://ko-fi.com/artistname
https://ko-fi.com/artistname/donate
https://ko-fi.com/artistname/shop
Encode the full HTTPS URL. Phone cameras open Ko-fi in the browser — one scan, straight to your tip jar or shop.
Tip: print the QR on convention table tents, merch table signs, and stream overlay cards so supporters tip without hunting your bio link.
Why creators care
Social bios bury your Ko-fi link. A printed QR at your booth or on a sticker turns a glance into a tip — no account required for the scanner.
