How to Embed Ko-fi on Shopify: A Simple Guide

Adding Ko-fi to your Shopify store is a brilliant way to connect with your audience and allow them to support your work. Ko-fi enables creators, artists and small businesses to receive financial support directly from fans and customers. This guide will show you how to embed Ko-fi on your Shopify store in just a few simple steps.

What You’ll Need

  • A Shopify store
  • A Ko-fi account
  • The EmbedAny app installed on your store

Step 1: Install EmbedAny App

First, you’ll need to install the EmbedAny app from the Shopify App Store:

  1. Visit EmbedAny on the Shopify App Store
  2. Click “Add app” and follow the installation steps
  3. Activate the app on your store

Next, you’ll need the link to the Ko-fi content you want to embed:

  1. Go to your Ko-fi page
  2. Copy the URL of your Ko-fi profile, button, or specific post you want to display
    • For example: https://ko-fi.com/yourname or https://ko-fi.com/yourname/shop

Now, add your Ko-fi link to any rich text section in your Shopify store:

  1. Go to your Shopify admin
  2. Navigate to the page, product, or blog post where you want to add Ko-fi
  3. Insert your Ko-fi link in the rich text editor
  4. Important: Make the link italic by selecting it and clicking the italic button (or using Ctrl+I/Cmd+I)
  5. Save your changes

That’s it! When you visit your store, the link will automatically transform into an interactive Ko-fi element.
