Croissant for artists

If you share illustrations, comics, paintings, process videos or tutorials, people who follow your work may want to support it without commissioning a piece. Croissant gives you a tip page at croissant.beffa.xyz/yourname where they can buy you a croissant.

Why tips suit artists

• Support without a commission. Fans can give a small amount without asking you for work.
• No shop to run. No stock, shipping or orders. Just one-off tips.
• Your page can look like you. Add a cover image, avatar and accent colour that fit your style.

Setting up

1. Sign in with Google and claim your address.
2. Customise your page: use a piece of your work as the cover, pick an accent colour from your palette, and write a short bio.
3. Write a thank-you message supporters see after paying.
4. Connect Stripe and publish.

Where to put your link

• Your social bios and link-in-bio page.
• Captions on posts that get a lot of attention, especially process posts.
• Your portfolio site footer or about page.
• Free resources like brushes or tutorials you share.
• Webcomic pages, below each new update.

See adding a support link for examples.
