I specifically made an account just so I can leave a review for this GARBAGE SCAMMING PLATFORM.
Imagine this scenario:
You made a buymeacoffee account as an alternative to an online store so you can sell products. You sell the products to your customers but you are unable to withdraw your money and no reason is given to you. You email them and wait for 2 weeks. You receive a reply that you are unable to withdraw your money, but you can always refund them to your customers. Still no information is given to you, even though you provided all the necessary proof and screenshots. You send another email - you wait another 2 weeks for another pointless reply that does not help you at all. And they keep claiming your money is "not being held" because you can always send them back to your customers. You are now dying of starvation because you chose buyMeAcoffee instead of using PayPal or Patreon.
Do you buy your food at the supermarket and get your money refunded?
Probably there are many services like this out there, but this one "just works". Even when you have a problem, the customer service is great. Love the product!
Pretty good tool if you want to receive tips or initiate a conversation. If your purpose is limited to such a use case, BMC will serve the purpose. If you want more, you will have to hunt for more comprehensive alternatives.
Hi Kritarth, thanks for leaving the review. I wanted to highlight what makes BMC unique. We're not just a donation tool – we offer an entire suite of features to help you monetize your content.
With BMC, you can set up a Shop to sell digital or physical items, create Memberships for recurring revenue, offer Commissions for services, and even set up a Wishlist to get your items funded. Beyond that, we have a range of publishing tools like Posts, Gallery, and Podcasts, and even an inbuilt email tool to help you build your email list.
With all these features offered at an affordable price, why look elsewhere when we provide everything you need to grow and monetize your content? :)

Hi there! Thanks for your patience. I just heard back from our team and unfortunately, the decision to ban your account is permanent due to high-risk concerns about multiple failed transaction reports from our payment processor. I hope you understand, and super sorry about all of this.
Unfortunately, our team was unable to payout your balance as this will be against the Terms of Use. Our payment processor will be initiating a refund of your outstanding balance and payments back to your supporters after 30 days from account deactivation. Alternatively, you can refund the payments back to your supporters and afterward, this should take 5-10 business days to reach their respective balances."
This is the final verdict as trusted people wanted to fund me, please remove this company from reality, I had shared everything and complied with everything, and gave all the details they requested. They collected the rest of my supporter's money and decided to steal them. This company should be sued for its expertise in stealing people's funds. All they conclude is super sorry that they are stealing my faithful supporter's fund. Please someone bring them to the court and remove them from existence. They do not allow you to explain the suspicious failed payments, etc... They are the ones who did not allow the payment to go through. Therefore, they are banning me so I cannot use BMC and so should many people stop using them too.
Thank you for confirming. This payment pattern often occurs during credit card testing, and as a precautionary measure to safeguard our creators from fraudulent activities, our team temporarily suspends accounts. However, since you have identified the supporter and verified that it is a valid payment, I have personally reached out to the team and reactivated your account.
I'd appreciate it if you can remove the negative review about our company. As a small company every review matters to us. Thanks agains for your patience.
Thanks,
Aleesha
