Qahvejo: a Persian alternative to Ko-fi
Like Qahvejo, Ko-fi started from the idea of "a coffee". Qahvejo brings that same simplicity to Persian-speaking audiences: tips, memberships, a shop and stream alerts, all in Persian and right to left.
What you get
- One-off tips by "coffee" or any amount, with a supporter message
- Monthly membership tiers and members-only posts
- A shop for digital files, commissions, services and physical products
- Live donation alerts and a goal bar for OBS
- A button and widget for your own site, and a QR code for your page
Why Persian matters
Many Persian-speaking supporters get lost in an English, left-to-right checkout and give up halfway. When everything is in Persian and familiar, supporting you is easier and happens more often.
