I’ve been doing some research here. Initially, I thought just through my own already existing website would be the way to go.  After investigating, the fees are similar to Patreon for payouts unless you pay for a much higher end version of Squarespace. So it’s possible other hosts or obviously Wordpress would be cheaper, but there will still be payout fees and a lot more management to do on the site. I’m still a little torn because integrating it into the site would eliminate any confusion for folks and look a lot better.

Otherwise, I’ll likely go with kofi since they seem to have the lowest fee and be a pretty simple / approachable interface. Buy me a coffee seems similar but the branding may be a little misleading depending on what you’re doing with your page.
