DonationAlerts
DonationAlerts collects viewer donations for live-video broadcasters and displays them during broadcasts. The provider says the platform is free to use, but it reserves the right to introduce fees, and broadcasters must verify their accounts before withdrawing funds.
For streamers comparing donation tools, the key distinction is between the on-stream features and the conditions attached to receiving funds.

Alerts, Goals, and Viewer Media
DonationAlerts combines donation displays with ways to involve viewers during a stream. The provider says broadcasters can customize donation alerts, show new subscribers, and display fundraising goals with progress.
Polls let streamers collect audience opinions in real time, while viewer media submissions give broadcasters a choice over which files to broadcast. The donation-and-alert function is therefore only one part of the interaction workflow described by the vendor.
DALink adds a separate public-facing element: broadcasters can create visiting-card pages that link to their pages on third-party services and accept donations. The dashboard groups widget management, stream-event monitoring, and donation-trend analysis.
OAuth Connects the API Workflow
DonationAlerts describes its public API as REST-based, with resource-oriented URLs, JSON responses, standard HTTP codes, authentication, and HTTP verbs. Every API method requires OAuth 2.0 authorization, so developers need an authorized connection before making requests.
The API supports retrieving donation alerts belonging to authorized users, and that request requires the `oauth-donation-index` scope. The API paginates responses for performance reasons; paginated methods include `meta` and `links` sections in their response bodies.
Developers can create custom alerts for a streamer’s broadcast, but display depends on the streamer having an Alerts widget variation of the “Custom alerts” type. The API documentation also sets a limit of 60 requests per minute per application.
The Merchandises API supports product sales through streamers using revenue sharing. Access is granted upon request, and a minimal integration must use the Send Sale Alerts API to notify DonationAlerts about new sales.
Free Platform Use, Conditional Fees
The provider says use of the DA Platform is free, while reserving the right to introduce fees by changing its terms. Broadcasters are also charged an agency fee specified in the Payment Terms, and the company says it may change that fee.
For EUR or USD card donations, the Payment Terms specify an agency fee of 12% at or below 10,000 EUR in monthly donations, and 9% above that amount. For BRL donations, the Payment Terms specify 14% at or below 6,000 BRL in monthly donations, and 12% above that amount. These are separate currency-specific schedules, not one universal rate.
The terms say the agency fee depends on additional platform functionality and is specified in the platform interface. Broadcasters select a default currency and payment method from the options available on the platform. EUR and USD bank-card remittances each have a 1-unit commission, subject to stated limitations. Check the applicable fee and remittance conditions against the selected currency, payment method, and functionality before relying on a cost estimate.
Check the Money Path Before Relying
Before choosing a donation tool, ask the provider which payment methods and currencies apply to the broadcaster’s location. In general, the available routes and conditions should be clear before a workflow is built around them.
Ask what account verification requires, how the review is handled, and what happens if verification is rejected. The answer affects when donations can be withdrawn, so clarify the steps before directing viewers to a donation page.
Ask how the applicable agency fee is set and which remittance route applies. In general, the fee basis and any deductions should be understandable for the specific currency and payment method rather than inferred from a headline description.
Stream Tools Cover Audience Interaction
The vendor’s stated features span donation displays, audience participation, and stream-side management, according to its homepage.
- Donation alerts can appear during live broadcasts, with settings for customization.
- Fundraising goals and progress displays give streamers an on-screen way to present a campaign’s status.
- Polls support real-time audience opinions, and new subscribers can be displayed during streams.
- Broadcasters can receive media files from viewers and choose which files to broadcast.
- The dashboard brings widget management, stream-event monitoring, and donation-trend analysis together.
Verification and Payment Terms Add Friction
The broadcaster terms and payment terms describe conditions that affect withdrawal timing, payable amounts, and payment access.
- Broadcasters must complete account verification before withdrawing funds, putting a verification step between donations and withdrawal.
- The company aims to process remittances daily, but says daily processing is not assured.
- Donations received in another currency are converted using the OER exchange rate after a 10 percent deduction.
- An account unused for more than three calendar months may be classified as inactive; that status terminates the agreement and sets payable donations to zero.
- The company may delay or cancel collection or payment for up to 90 days for specified purposes, and may restrict platform availability for capacity, security, integrity, or maintenance reasons.
- Digital-asset donations are non-refundable and non-recoverable under the broadcaster terms.

Compare Donation Workflows by Terms
With no competitor facts to compare, assess donation tools by the payment routes and currencies available to your operation. In general, compare fee structure, currency treatment, withdrawal verification, stream integrations, and API requirements before building a workflow around a provider.
Fit Depends on Stream and Payment Needs
DonationAlerts’ stated scope is relevant to streamers seeking viewer donations, on-stream displays, and audience interaction features. The fit also depends on whether its account and sign-in conditions work for the broadcaster’s setup.
The broadcaster terms say users may not register more than one account unless the company authorizes it, and accounts may not be transferred. The vendor lists sign-in through Twitch, YouTube, Kick, Facebook, Dailymotion, Discord, Boosty, TikTok, Telegram, and GoodGame. Check the applicable sign-in route and account conditions before connecting a streaming workflow.

Questions About DonationAlerts Terms
How does the provider handle donation refunds?
Donation refunds are discretionary, and the terms say they may be available for duplicate charges or certain third-party fraud. The provider requires requests within 14 days. These conditions describe limited grounds for consideration, not an automatic refund process; the terms leave the decision discretionary.
What happens to donations made using digital assets?
The broadcaster terms state that digital-asset donations are non-refundable and non-recoverable. The same terms say these donations are remitted to broadcasters only in USDT through a third-party service. Broadcasters should account for both the stated remittance route and the restrictions on reversing or recovering these donations.
Can the provider withhold taxes from broadcaster payments?
The payment terms say the company may deduct or withhold taxes it is legally obligated to withhold from amounts payable to broadcasters. The terms do not frame this as a fixed deduction for every payment; the condition is the company’s legal obligation to withhold.
What does inactive broadcaster status mean?
The payment terms say inactive status may be assigned if an account has not been used for more than three calendar months. The same terms say that status automatically terminates the agreement and sets payable donations to zero. Account activity therefore has a direct stated consequence for the agreement and outstanding payable donations.
Are there limits on Visa card remittances?
The Payment Terms say Visa card remittances are limited to 30 transactions per day, 50 per week, and 150 per month. The provider’s Terms also say these payment terms do not apply to CIS-based users.
What should users do before signing in through a new platform?
Before signing in through a new platform, the provider recommends linking the account in dashboard General settings to help avoid creating additional accounts. This instruction is relevant alongside the broadcaster terms, which restrict users to one account unless the company authorizes otherwise.
Use It Only When the Terms Fit
Fits if the dashboard’s widget management, stream-event monitoring, and donation-trend analysis match the broadcaster’s workflow.
Probably not if the broadcaster cannot complete account verification before withdrawing funds.
Main risk… the provider specifies the agency fee in the Payment Terms and may change it; it also aims to process remittances daily but does not guarantee daily processing, so check the applicable terms before relying on the service.
