<h4>More features with Patrons Tips Pro</h4>
<a href="https://patronstips.com/en/downloads/patrons-tips-pro/?utm_source=wp-plugin-page&utm_medium=wordpress&utm_content=readme" rel="nofollow ugc">Patrons Tips Pro</a> allows you to restrict your content to patrons of the month of their publication.
If you published a restricted post/image/product in July 2025, then only people who were patrons in July 2025 will be able to see it. Newcomers will never have the permission to see it.
This way, you will no longer give access to all the content you have created to the first person who comes along.
This feature protects your work and increases its value and is exclusive to Patrons Tips Pro, no other patronage system offers it.
Patrons Tips Pro also includes many features:
<ul>
<li>Restrict posts, medias and products by tier to patrons of the month of publication</li>
<li>Restrict the availability of one or more tiers to offer limited premium rewards</li>
<li>Display monthly stretch goals (number of patrons or amount of money) to encourage more backers to contribute</li>
<li>Manually add patrons from the back office</li>
<li>Manually manage your patrons’ history, you can change, revoke and subscribe patrons to any tier, any month</li>
<li>Patrons can choose their own nickname which will be displayed in patron lists</li>
<li>Give your patrons annual badges to reward their loyalty and make them feel special</li>
<li>Send automatic reminder emails when a patronage expires (with WooCommerce)</li>
</ul>

<h4>How is Patrons Tips different from crowdfunding platforms such as Patreon or Tipeee?</h4>
<ul>
<li>Patrons Tips is free: there are neither fees nor commissions on sales.</li>
<li>Patrons Tips is independant: you and your patrons are not locked into a platform and its terms (pricing, features, policies, etc.) for life.</li>
<li>Patrons Tips settles on your website : customize your site and its features using WordPress plugins.</li>
</ul>
<h4>This plugin is perfect for… you ?</h4>
This sponsorship system was specifically created to meet the needs of most independant creators:
<ul>
<li>Artists (painters, cartoonists, photographers, 3D artists…)</li>
<li>Video makers (youtubers, streamers…)</li>
<li>Authors (reporters, writers, bloggers…)</li>
<li>Musicians (composers, singers, instrumentalists…)</li>
<li>Performers (humorists, dancers, circus artists…)</li>
<li>Podcasters (hosts, interviewers…)</li>
<li>Cosplayers (tailors, models…)</li>
<li>Developers (video games creators, web developers…)</li>
<li>Craftspeople (plush makers, ceramists, jewelers…)</li>
<li>Advisers (speakers, experts…)</li>
<li>Sportspeople (athletes, coaches…)</li>
<li>and maybe you!</li>
</ul>
If you want to monetize your creative work, then you should give it a try!

Patrons Tips


I’m a cartoonist and one of the creators of this plugin. I’ve been using a prototype version since 2020 and it helped me have a welcomed source of income. It works perfectly on my website entantquechat.fr and my backers (around 20 per month) are glad I shared exclusives with them (some of them have been backing me from the beginning!). My dear community is supportive and encourages me in my projects. I hope Patrons Tips will help other creators too!


Great & free alternative to Patreon, Tipeee, etc.

Patronage system. A free Patreon-like tool to monetize your creations and reward your backers with restricted content. Works great with WooCommerce.
