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

Step 2: Get Your Ko-fi Link

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

Step 3: Add Your Ko-fi Link to Your Store

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.
