Congrats on the launch! You should also write a short article on why you made this(BMC payment error in India). Then many people will get the idea that, it's literally solving a problem.
@musharofchy Hi Musharof, it's not a Buy Me a Coffee payment error, but a Stripe/PayPal compatibility issue in India. We're waiting for PP & Stripe to properly support Indian creators, and also working on a Razorpay integration.
Either way, great job @mddanishyusuf! I hope you'll come back to BMC when the payment issues are resolved :)
@musharofchy@jijosunny Hey Sunny. Yes, we all know but to setup Stripe Account in india need IE certificate. So, I feel I can make something simple.
We are big fan of BMC. We are still using BMC.
@mddanishyusuf@jijosunny I know, not blaming anyone maybe main reasons are the local policy and business law. I'm also a big fan of BMC and well wisher ♥️ BMC adding massive value by it's community and encouragement.
This is great idea especially for indians. In india its a pain in the ass to do foreign transactions and you have to use paypal which takes a huge cut. Paddle and Gumroad (atleast Paddle) transfer directly into your account which is really amazing. Thanks for sharing!
Hello PH,
A story about this idea:
My name is Mohd Danish and I'm indie maker from India. In my country, there are lots of developers who build awesome things and people use them for free. So, people love to support those developers.
But in India to get the money you have to hustle and you have to get an Import Export certificate from the government.
So, I was looking for a payment gateway that solved this problem. Just integrate and get money directly in your account without any problem.
I found Gumroad is the best and easy way to collect people to support the "Buy Me Coffee" way.
I build a template with Gumroad and It's open-source on GitHub(https://github.com/mddanishyusuf...) and You can host this on https://vercel.com/ for with your custom domain.
I build this project in 4-5 hours hackathon. If you find this helpful to you then you can also support me here https://mohddanish.me/buy-me-coffee
You can see the demo here https://coffee.mohddanish.me/

Isn’t this against the ToS of Gumroad? I’ve wanted to use Gumroad for something similar, but after reading their ToS i’ve decided not to. From their ToS they require to be an exchange of goods. Can’t be use for Services or Donations unfortunately.
@robertbant Okay, it can be resolved by simple clarification on footer or somewhere by saying "by purchasing Buy me coffee you are listing your name on the site feed, it is considered as ad purchase and you are paying for this digital good/service, buy me coffee used as metaphor" this is just one option, there are so many ways you can outsmart ToS 😂
The language 'big love' and the fact that uses gumroad makes this look awfully similar to the setup that Rob Hope has on his site. robhope.com/coffee. Any relation?
