Buy Me a Chai
A self-hostable, zero-fee tip jar for Indian devs
Stripe is invite-only in India, and Western tip jars are broken for Indian devs. Buy Me a Chai is a static, self-hostable supporter page. You own the gateway (Razorpay, UPI, Dodo), the domain, and every rupee. Zero platform fees, 10-minute setup.
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Tushar, the creator of Buy Me a Chai.
Like many devs in India, I struggled to receive supporter tips because platforms like Buy Me a Coffee, Ko-fi, and GitHub Sponsors rely on Stripe (which is invite-only in India).
I built Buy Me a Chai to fix this. It’s a 100% static, self-hostable supporter page:
- Zero Platform Fees: Money goes directly to your merchant account.
- Multiple Gateways: Supports Razorpay, Dodo Payments, and direct UPI QR codes.
- Dual Currency: Seamless USD/INR toggle for global and local supporters.
- 10-Min Setup: Just edit one config file and deploy to Vercel/Netlify for free.
It's fully open-source and customizable. I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback!
