How it works

From signup to first thanks in five minutes.

Every step, every screen. Then, when you're ready, a shop, bookable sessions and Instagram AutoDM on the same link.

Step 01 — 30 seconds

Sign up and pick your slug.

Email, password, and the part of the URL that goes after thx.so/. We check availability live so you don't waste a try. Your slug is also your brand — keep it short, keep it yours.

Reserve early — slugs are first-come

Step 02 — 3 minutes

Connect Stripe in one click.

We don't touch card numbers, ever — Stripe handles money, KYC, payouts, and disputes. You'll fill out a Stripe form (ID, bank account), get redirected back to your dashboard, and that's it.

Step 03 — 1 minute

Customize your page.

Add your name, a one-line tagline, an avatar, and a cover. Pick preset tip amounts. Optionally write a thank-you message that fans see after they pay. The defaults are sensible — you can ship without any of this.

Avatar, cover, display name, tagline
Preset tip amounts ($1 / $3 / $5 + custom)
Optional: thank-you message, post-tip CTA

Step 04 — 10 seconds

Share your link, anywhere.

thx.so/kenji is twelve characters. It fits in a Twitter bio, a TikTok bio, a YouTube description, the back of a business card, the side of a mug. The shorter the URL, the more people remember it.

Print on flyers, cards, stickers, merch

Step 05 — 6 seconds

A fan taps your link and pays.

They land on your page, tap a preset amount, and Apple Pay or Google Pay does the rest. Face ID confirms, the tip lands. No signup, no card form, no "create account" popup. The whole thing fits in one breath.

Step 06 — 2 days

Money lands in your bank.

Stripe runs a rolling two-day payout schedule by default. A tip on Monday hits your bank by Wednesday. You can switch to weekly or monthly in your Stripe dashboard. We don't hold funds — every cent goes straight from Stripe to you.

Default: 2-day rolling payouts
Configurable: daily / weekly / monthly

Step 07 — 5 minutes, when you're ready

Sell downloads, merch and your time.

The shop sits on the same page as your tip jar. Upload a file and it delivers the moment payment clears. Ship a print and the checkout collects an address. Add a session with a duration and your weekly hours, and fans book a free slot in their timezone. Connect Google Calendar and busy times are hidden automatically.

Step 08 — 5 minutes, once

Let the link work while you don't.

Connect Instagram and write a rule: when someone comments a keyword, thx.so replies under the comment and sends the link by DM, in fixed text or written by AI in your voice. Switch on auto-posting and every thanks, new member and sale is announced on X, Twitch chat, YouTube live chat or Discord.

Do I need a business to use thx.so?

No. Stripe accepts individuals — you'll provide ID for KYC, and your bank account for payouts. Most creators sign up as a sole proprietor.

What if my country isn't supported by Stripe?

thx.so launches first in countries Stripe Connect supports. If your country isn't on the list, drop us a note via /contact and we'll let you know when it lands.

Can I keep my old Buy Me a Coffee link?

Yes. Switching to thx.so doesn't break your old link — your existing supporters can keep using whatever URL they have. We just give you a shorter one going forward.

Can I sell products or sessions, not just take tips?

Yes. The shop sells digital downloads, physical items and paid bookings. A session product has a duration and weekly availability; fans pick a free slot in their timezone and pay at checkout. Connect Google Calendar and busy times are hidden automatically.

What does Instagram AutoDM do?

Connect an Instagram professional account and write rules: a keyword in a comment, any comment on chosen posts, a keyword in a DM, or a story mention. thx.so posts a public reply and sends a DM with your link, as fixed text or written by AI. Fixed-text replies are unlimited; AI replies have a monthly allowance by plan.

When do I get paid?

Stripe pays out on a two-day rolling schedule by default — a tip on Monday lands in your bank on Wednesday. You can switch to weekly or monthly in your Stripe dashboard.
