StreamElements continues under Razer, but SEPay, its built-in payment service for tips, is being phased out. According to the information published with the acquisition, SEPay balances can be withdrawn until 31 December 2026 and tip processing moves to a different route in 2027. If you want a stable donation page in France now, DonoLink replaces the payment part without forcing you to change your whole setup.
Razer acquired StreamElements in July 2026. According to the announcement, the familiar free tools such as overlays, alerts and the chatbot remain available. What is going away is SEPay, the built-in payment route that processed part of the tips.
31 December 2026 is presented as the deadline for withdrawing existing SEPay balances. It is not a shutdown date for StreamElements as a whole. Always check the steps and deadlines that apply to your account in your own StreamElements dashboard.
DonoLink replaces the tip page and the payment, not necessarily your whole broadcasting software. Viewers open your page, choose an amount and pay without an account. Viewers pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. DonoLink charges 3.5% per successful donation; Stripe separately charges its processing fees to your connected account.
DonoLink alerts are regular browser sources. They run alongside your existing StreamElements sources in OBS Studio or Streamlabs Desktop.
The StreamElements import retrieves your previous tips through the StreamElements API with your JWT token. Amount, donor name, message and original date return to your statistics and leaderboard, so you do not start from zero.
The import also tries to convert supported built-in alert widgets. Fully custom HTML, CSS or JavaScript cannot be converted reliably, so always review and test imported alerts.
A smooth transition takes a few steps, without waiting for the last day:
| Criterion | DonoLink | StreamElements tips |
|---|---|---|
| Payment route | Stripe, on your connected account | SEPay being phased out, different route announced for 2027 |
| Platform fee | 3.5% per successful donation | Depends on the chosen payment route |
| Viewer account | No DonoLink account needed | Depends on the future payment route |
| OBS alerts | Included, with setup wizard | Remain available according to the announcement |
| History import | Yes, with your JWT token | Not applicable |
DonoLink comparison, October 2026, based on public information about the StreamElements acquisition.
No. According to the published information, StreamElements continues under Razer. The date concerns the withdrawal of existing SEPay balances, not the end of overlays, alerts or the chatbot.
Yes. Keep the chatbot or your StreamElements overlays and replace only your tip link with DonoLink. DonoLink alerts are separate browser sources.
No. The import brings back amount, name, message and date. It does not transfer a balance: withdraw your SEPay balance separately.
The account is free. DonoLink charges 3.5% per successful donation, with no subscription. Stripe separately charges its fees to the creator account.
