Donation tools meet payment terms
The provider’s homepage, terms, and API documentation describe these functions and conditions, checked 2026-10-31.
- Intended audience: streamers.
- Donations: viewers can donate during live broadcasts.
- Stream tools: configurable alerts, subscriber displays, fundraising goals, polls, and viewer media selection.
- Dashboard: widget management, stream-event monitoring, and donation-trend analysis.
- Platform compatibility: the provider says it works with popular streaming platforms and follows their rules.
- Public API: REST-based, with JSON responses and standard HTTP codes, authentication, and verbs.
Agency fees vary by currency
The Payment Terms distinguish the agency fee on donations from the commission on bank-card remittances. For EUR or USD card donations, the agency fee is 12% at or below 10,000 EUR in monthly donations and 9% above that amount, according to the Payment Terms checked 2026-10-31.
For BRL donations, the agency fee is 14% at or below 6,000 BRL in monthly donations and 12% above that amount, according to the Payment Terms checked 2026-10-31. The service fee also depends on the additional platform functionality used; the platform interface specifies the applicable fee, according to the Payment Terms checked 2026-10-31.
EUR and USD bank-card remittances each have a 1-unit commission, subject to stated limitations, according to the Payment Terms checked 2026-10-31. The DA Platform is free to use, but the company reserves the right to introduce fees by changing its terms, according to the broadcaster Terms of Service checked 2026-10-31. Donation refunds are discretionary: the Terms identify duplicate charges and certain third-party fraud as cases where they may be available, and requests must be made within 14 days, according to the broadcaster Terms of Service checked 2026-10-31.
Alerts, goals, and polls appear on stream
DonationAlerts lets streamers display viewer donations during live broadcasts, with alerts that can be customized using available settings. The broadcaster can add subscriber displays, fundraising goals with progress, and polls for real-time audience opinions.
Viewers can also send media files for the streamer to choose from for broadcast. Separately, DALink creates a visiting-card page that links to a broadcaster’s pages on third-party services and accepts donations. These features cover both on-stream interaction and a donation destination outside the broadcast.
Put account and payment questions to support
DonationAlerts provides a help center with a knowledge base and an option to ask a question. Before registering, ask which Payment Terms apply to your location and which payment routes and fee schedule would govern your account. These are practical checks because the provider sets fees in its Payment Terms and states that the applicable fee depends on platform functionality.
Clarify whether your account needs linking in dashboard settings before you sign in through a new platform; the provider says this can help avoid creating additional accounts. If your work involves product sales through the Merchandises API, ask what access conditions apply and what integration steps are required.
OAuth connects the public API
Every method in the public API requires OAuth 2.0 authorization, according to the API documentation checked 2026-10-31. The API uses REST-style resources and JSON responses, and paginated methods return `meta` and `links` sections, according to the same documentation.
After authorization, an application can retrieve donation alerts for authorized users, but the request must include the `oauth-donation-index` scope. Developers can create customizable alerts for a streamer’s broadcast; displaying them requires an Alerts widget variation of the “Custom alerts” type.
The Merchandises API supports product sales through streamers using revenue sharing, and its minimal integration must use the Send Sale Alerts API to notify DonationAlerts about new sales. Merchandises API access is granted upon request, according to the API documentation checked 2026-10-31. HTTP API requests are limited to 60 requests per minute per application, according to the API documentation checked 2026-10-31.
Stream controls cover audience interaction
Configurable alerts give broadcasters control over the donation display through the available settings. Subscriber displays add a separate stream element, while fundraising goals show campaign progress during a broadcast.
Polls let streamers gather audience opinions in real time, and viewer media submissions give the broadcaster a choice over what to air. The dashboard brings widget management, stream-event monitoring, and donation-trend analysis together.
Remittance rules narrow payment control
The broadcaster Terms of Service and Payment Terms checked 2026-10-31 set conditions on withdrawal, currency conversion, and account status.
- Broadcasters must complete account verification before withdrawing funds.
- The company aims to process remittances daily but does not guarantee daily processing.
- Donations received in another currency are converted using the OER exchange rate after a 10 percent deduction.
- The Payment Terms define inactive status as possible after more than three calendar months without use; that status terminates the agreement and sets payable donations to zero.
- The company may delay or cancel donation collection or payment for up to 90 days for specified purposes.
- Digital-asset donations are non-refundable and non-recoverable.
- Visa remittances are capped at 30 transactions per day, 50 per week, and 150 per month, according to the Payment Terms checked 2026-10-31.
Several details are listed under What we could not confirm.
Compare donation tools by money flow
Compare donation providers by how they calculate fees, which payment routes they support, and when remittances are processed. Account verification, stream interaction features, and API access also distinguish how a service fits a broadcaster’s workflow.
Streamers choose by payment conditions
DonationAlerts is designed for streamers, and its donation tools display viewer contributions during live broadcasts. Broadcasters who want stream widgets and event monitoring can also use the dashboard’s widget management and stream-event functions.
The fit depends on accepting the applicable account and payment conditions. Withdrawal requires account verification, the service fee depends on additional platform functionality, and the provider limits broadcasters to one account unless it authorizes more.
What we could not confirm
- Eligibility: who may register and country-specific access conditions
- Withdrawal operations: complete method list, minimum amounts, and route-specific timelines
- Account verification: accepted documents, review timing, and rejection or appeal process
- Feature setup: supported streaming software and platform-specific configuration steps
- Data handling: retention periods and detailed privacy practices
- Support: response times and escalation process
DonationAlerts terms in brief
Is use of the DA Platform free?
The DA Platform is free to use, but that does not mean every service condition is fixed. The broadcaster Terms of Service state that the company reserves the right to introduce fees by changing its terms, according to the document checked 2026-10-31.
How does the provider handle donation refunds?
Donation refunds are discretionary rather than automatic. The broadcaster Terms of Service identify duplicate charges and certain third-party fraud as cases where a refund may be available; requests must be made within 14 days, according to the terms checked 2026-10-31.
What happens when donations arrive in another currency?
The Payment Terms say donations received in another currency are converted using the OER exchange rate after a 10 percent deduction. This affects the converted amount before remittance, according to the Payment Terms checked 2026-10-31.
What can happen after an account becomes inactive?
The Payment Terms say inactive broadcaster status may be assigned after more than three calendar months without account use. The status automatically terminates the agreement and sets the amount of payable donations to zero, according to the terms checked 2026-10-31.
Do the Payment Terms apply to every location?
No. The Payment Terms state that they do not apply to CIS-based users. Broadcasters should establish which terms govern their location before assessing fees or remittance conditions, according to the Payment Terms checked 2026-10-31.
Which platforms can be used to sign in?
DonationAlerts offers sign-in through Twitch, YouTube, Kick, Facebook, Dailymotion, Discord, Boosty, TikTok, Telegram, and GoodGame, according to its legal page checked 2026-10-31.
Register after payment terms are clear
Fits if… on-stream donations and audience tools match your workflow, and you have established which payment conditions apply to your account.
Probably not if… you need withdrawal without account verification or expect daily processing; the company aims to process remittances daily.
Main risk… is treating the displayed agency fee as the full payment cost before checking the applicable Payment Terms and interface fee.
