Donations and broadcasting software are different things

Streamlabs Desktop captures and broadcasts your stream. The Streamlabs tip page collects payments. DonoLink does not replace your broadcasting software: it replaces the donation page and donation widgets, which you add as browser sources.

Fees and payments

Streamlabs states that it takes no cut of card or PayPal tips; the payment processor charges its fees. DonoLink charges 3.5% per successful donation and Stripe separately charges its fees to the creator. In return DonoLink combines page, moderation, alerts and tracking in one tool without a subscription.

Viewers pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.

Why some streamers switch

The reasons we hear most:

A simpler, mobile-first donation page in the viewer's language.
A visual alert editor with an exact overlay preview.
One dashboard for donations, payouts and stream statistics.
No paid add-on needed for donation features.

Switch without losing data

Export your Streamlabs history and import it into DonoLink. Add the DonoLink browser sources to your scene and remove the old donation widgets. Test an alert before your next stream.
