How it works

From adding a project to the first donation — the whole flow in 4 steps.

Step 1

🏷️ Badge in README

The creator pastes one line of Markdown/HTML from their dashboard — the badge shows the current coverage status.

→

Step 2

💳 Donation page

A visitor clicks the badge and lands on the project's public page — sees the costs, the coverage bar, and picks an amount.

→

Step 3

🔒 Stripe payment

BLIK or card via Stripe Checkout — coverly never stores payment data.

→

Step 4

📊 Creator dashboard

The creator sees the new donation in their dashboard and can export the history to CSV.

ℹ️ coverly does not offer a public API for third-party integrations — the only "consumers" of a project's data are the creator's own dashboard (once logged in) and the public badge SVG.

Donor FAQ

The most common questions from people supporting projects on coverly.

Is my payment safe?

Yes. Payments are handled exclusively by Stripe — coverly never processes or stores your card data.

Can I get a refund for my donation?

A donation is voluntary support and, as a rule, is non-refundable. A refund is only possible in case of a clear technical error (e.g. a duplicate charge), an unauthorized transaction confirmed by Stripe, or the creator's own decision to voluntarily refund a donation. In such cases, email prywatnosc@coverly.cc.

Can I pay with BLIK?

Yes — BLIK is available for payments in Polish złoty (PLN), with no account registration required. For payments in US dollars (USD), card payment is available.

Badge/README integration

If you're a project creator, paste one line into your README to show the current coverage status — it's a static SVG image, just like any other badge, not a call to any external service.
