### How to use Spotify’s Fan Suport

Log into Spotify for Artists, go to your profile, and add or change a Fan Support link at any time. Spotify has released a [Best Practices](https://artists.spotify.com/blog/best-practices-for-the-artist-fundraising-pick?ref=hypebot.com) guide on how it works with each fundraising platform partner.

Payment happens via third party apps like Cash App, GoFundMe, PayPal.me, and Mercado Pago and Spotify takes no cut of the transaction.
