<h4>Key Features</h4>
Memberships & Content Monetization 
Turn your WordPress site into a self-hosted membership platform. Create paid membership levels with monthly or yearly pricing, descriptions, and reward bullets. Mark posts or pages as members-only from the editor, choose which membership levels can access each piece of content, and show non-members a word-limited preview followed by a polished paywall CTA. Active members get access automatically based on their subscription status.
WordPress Paywall for Premium Content 
Protect blog posts, pages, tutorials, newsletters, lessons, downloads, private updates, or creator-only resources. Use teaser content to improve conversions, then send visitors straight into the membership checkout flow with the selected level and return URL.
Accept Donations via Stripe & PayPal 
On-site Stripe checkout and PayPal integration let your visitors donate or subscribe without ever leaving your website. Supports 135+ currencies via Stripe and 20+ via PayPal. Credit cards, debit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay — whatever your visitors prefer.
Recurring Monthly & Yearly Subscriptions (Stripe) 
Let your supporters become long-term monthly or yearly members with Stripe recurring subscriptions. Full lifecycle management is included: automatic renewals via webhook, admin cancellation from WordPress, subscription status tracking, and a dedicated subscriber account page. No paid addon required.
Membership Members Dashboard 
Manage active members from a dedicated Memberships screen. Search members by name or email, review their level, billing interval, renewal date, and subscription status, then jump directly to subscription details or cancel a membership when needed.
No WooCommerce Required 
Run paid content, supporter subscriptions, donation forms, and membership checkout without installing WooCommerce or a heavy LMS. Buy Me Coffee is built for creators who want a focused monetization workflow.
Supporter Wall & Donor Leaderboard 
Display a beautiful ranked leaderboard of your top donors on any page with the <code>[buymecoffee_supporters]</code> shortcode. Gold, silver, and bronze badges highlight your top 3 supporters. Choose which fields to display (name, avatar, amount, message) from the admin settings.
Gutenberg Block & Shortcodes 
Add a donation button, inline donation form, or full donation page anywhere on your site using the native Gutenberg block or classic-editor shortcodes:
<ul>
<li><code>[buymecoffee_button]</code> — Donation button that opens a modal or links to your donation page</li>
<li><code>[buymecoffee_form]</code> — Inline donation form embedded on any post or page</li>
<li><code>[buymecoffee_basic]</code> — Full-page donation template with banner, profile, supporter wall, and form</li>
<li><code>[buymecoffee_supporters]</code> — Public supporter wall / ranked donor leaderboard</li>
<li><code>[buymecoffee_account]</code> — Subscriber self-service dashboard for logged-in recurring supporters</li>
</ul>
One-Click Refunds 
Issue full refunds for Stripe and PayPal transactions directly from your WordPress admin. A confirmation modal displays transaction details and live gateway response — no need to visit your Stripe or PayPal dashboard.
Subscriber Account Page 
Recurring supporters are optionally assigned a WordPress user account linked to their subscription. Place the <code>[buymecoffee_account]</code> shortcode on any page to give them a self-service dashboard showing active subscriptions, billing history, and payment status.
Complete Activity Logging 
Every event is logged — payments, refunds, subscription renewals, cancellations, webhook events, and outgoing emails. Each supporter and subscription has its own chronological activity timeline. A global Activity Log page provides a filterable, paginated view across your entire donation history.
Email Notifications 
Automatically send a branded thank-you email to donors after every successful payment, and receive an admin notification for each new donation. Both templates are fully customizable with dynamic placeholders: <code>{{donor_name}}</code>, <code>{{amount}}</code>, <code>{{payment_method}}</code>, and more.
Supporters Admin Hub 
A dedicated admin hub with everything in one place:
<ul>
<li>Metric cards — Total supporters, lifetime revenue, active subscribers, average donation amount</li>
<li>Top supporters ranking — Your highest-value donors at a glance</li>
<li>Configurable display settings — Control exactly what appears on the public supporter wall</li>
<li>Shortcode documentation — Copy-paste shortcodes with descriptions, inline in the admin</li>
<li>Privacy controls — Mask email addresses, allow anonymous donations, hide donor amounts</li>
</ul>
Customizable Donation Page Appearance 
Personalize your donation page with a profile image, banner photo, brand accent color, and a custom quote. A live preview updates in real time as you make changes. Styling uses CSS custom properties — no bloated override rules.
Modern Vue 3 Admin Panel 
The entire admin interface is a single-page application built with Vue 3, featuring sidebar navigation, breadcrumbs, a revenue chart dashboard, dark mode with system theme detection, and a responsive layout that works on desktop and mobile.
WordPress Multisite Compatible 
Activate network-wide on WordPress Multisite — each site gets its own isolated tables, supporter records, and plugin settings.
Guided Quick Setup Wizard 
A 5-step onboarding wizard (Welcome → Profile → Form → Payment → Launch) gets you from zero to accepting donations in under two minutes. Includes Stripe API key verification and PayPal credentials setup.
Test Mode & Safe Data Reset 
Switch between Stripe test mode and live mode without changing your configuration. A “Delete all test data” button removes test transactions, supporters, and subscriptions in one click so your dashboard stays clean.
