Anyone have a ko-fi shop?

So I hope this is okay to post but I'm curious as to whether or not anyone here uses the shop part of their ko-fi page?

It's the one thing that Ko-fi seems to have that Patreon doesn't and I've finally figured out how to set mine up so I'm wondering how many folks use theirs and how? I've set up mine with character design adopts but since it has the option to upload pdfs I've been thinking artbooks, zines or comic pdfs in the future.

So how about everyone else?

the link to mine:

I just set mine up the other day! I don't have a lot on it yet, but I hope to put some stickers up soon!

It's nice there's the option if the other sites I use get wiped. I'm just unsure if the $6 a month for ko-fi gold is less than the fees I'm paying for my other storefronts that are only charged when I make a sale.
So unless I have a large audience that's willing to support me via ko-fi, that monthly fee is the one thing holding me back from using it.

well the shop is open to all users not just ko-fi gold; i personally don't use gold since i can't afford the monthly fee yet. As for Ko-fi's cut for shop sales it's only 5% (0 if you use gold) which is relatively small.

yeah, I don't have the gold version either.

Oh thanks for clarifying! I may just use it then as an extra storefront!

I've got one. So far I've only put up a phone wallpaper from a Dragon Sparking comic panel for sale. I didn't even think about selling PDFs of comics. That's a great idea!

So I started one! And my aim is to offer PDFs.
My completed series are too long for the size limit for a free account.
Then I thought about uploading my NSFW short story but adult content isn't allowed.
So I ultimately listed this zine as my first item. LOL

I don't and it's mostly because I didn't really have anything to sell.

Selling PDFs of comics is genius though.

I have a little Ko-fi shop.

Ooh! I have a Ko-Fi Shop!

Its got 3 items so far, but I plan to grow it some more. One of the available items is a digital book!

Well, I don't sell items but I do sell commissions! I should take a look at setting up physical items.
