GotASale for Ko-fi

Set up Ko-fi from your GotASale dashboard — no code required.

Go to Dashboard

How it Works

  1. Log in to your GotASale dashboard
  2. Click + Add Store
  3. Find the Ko-fi card and click Set up Ko-fi
  4. GotASale shows you a webhook URL. It looks like https://api.gotasale.io/custom-webhook/YOUR_TOKEN — copy it, you'll paste it into Ko-fi next
  5. In Ko-fi, go to More → API → Advanced (this page requires Ko-fi Gold or Supporter)
  6. Paste the webhook URL into the Webhook URL field
  7. Copy the Verification Token Ko-fi shows on that same page
  8. Back in GotASale, paste it into the signing secret field. This is how GotASale checks that each message really came from Ko-fi, not someone pretending to be Ko-fi
  9. Click Connect Ko-fi to finish

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Ko-fi plan do I need?

Ko-fi's webhook feature requires Ko-fi Gold (or a Supporter account). It isn't available on the free Ko-fi plan.

What kinds of Ko-fi events trigger a notification?

Donations, shop orders, commissions, and subscription payments — anything Ko-fi sends to your webhook URL.

Where do I find my Verification Token?

Ko-fi shows it on the same More → API → Advanced page where you set your Webhook URL.

What shows up if I sell items from my Ko-fi Shop?

Each shop item appears as its own line in the notification, using the item name and quantity Ko-fi sends.
