Private vs public messages

Supporting Creators

When supporting a creator, you can choose whether your message is public or private.

Public messages

By default, messages are public:

  • Visible to everyone on the creator's profile
  • Appear in the "Recent Supporters" section
  • Show your name, coffee count, and message
  • Great for showing public appreciation

Private messages

To send a private message:

  1. Check the "Make this message private" option
  2. Your message will only be visible to the creator

Private messages are useful when:

  • You want to share personal feedback
  • You prefer to stay anonymous publicly
  • You're discussing something sensitive

Note about amounts

Regardless of message privacy, transaction amounts are always private. Only the creator can see how much you paid - other visitors just see your name and message.
