Buy Me a Coffee combines one-off support, recurring memberships, and a simple shop in a single creator page, with less setup friction than many legacy membership platforms. It is not OSS-specific, but it remains relevant for maintainers who want a quick way to collect small donations or sell lightweight digital extras without building a full storefront.
