A Buy Me a Coffee alternative for selling products, not support

Buy Me a Coffee turns goodwill into income, and it's excellent at that. Wixzel Store is for when you've built an actual product: an indexed product page, real licensing and invoices, zero commission, and your own payment gateway at checkout.

What Buy Me a Coffee is

A supporter-monetization platform: one-off support, memberships and a simple extras shop for creators with an audience.

Rates and terms change, so check Buy Me a Coffee's current pricing before you decide. The differences below are structural, not a snapshot of today's numbers.

Side by side

	Buy Me a Coffee	Wixzel Store
Who processes the payment	The marketplace. Buyers pay them; they pay you out on their schedule.	You do. Buyers pay through your own Stripe, Dodo, PayPal, Razorpay, or Lemon Squeezy account.
Who owns the buyer relationship	The marketplace. Buyer details are theirs, not yours.	You. The sale runs through your gateway, so the customer record is yours.
Discovery	You bring every buyer; it's a support page for your existing audience.	A browsable catalog with category pages, creator profiles, and indexed product pages, plus whatever audience you bring.
What a sale delivers	Support, a membership perk, or a simple file delivery.	A license key, a versioned download, a PDF invoice, and optional support plans — automatically.
What Wixzel charges	-	A one-time fee per product when a listing goes live. No subscription, no per-sale cut.
