DonationAlerts
DonationAlerts collects viewer donations as a commercial bill collection agent, then remits them after deducting an agency fee. Its payment terms allow the company to change that fee, so the displayed fee matters alongside the stream tools. DonationAlerts describes its service as designed for streamers. Broadcasters comparing donation tools may want to check the collection and withdrawal conditions before relying on them.

Agency fees and donation refunds
DonationAlerts says platform use is free, while its terms reserve the right to introduce fees through changes to those terms. The broadcaster terms describe an agency fee that the company may change.
The payment terms list card-donation fees by currency and monthly donation amount, according to the payment terms checked 2026-10-31.
- EUR or USD card donations: 12% at or below 10,000 EUR in monthly donations; 9% above that amount.
- BRL donations: 14% at or below 6,000 BRL in monthly donations; 12% above that amount.
The payment terms say the agency fee also depends on additional platform functionality used, with the fee specified in the platform interface. EUR and USD bank-card remittances each carry a 1-unit commission, subject to stated limitations, according to the payment terms. Refunds are discretionary; the broadcaster terms say they may be available for duplicate charges or certain third-party fraud, with requests made within 14 days.
Viewer donations and stream widgets
DonationAlerts says viewers’ donations can be displayed during live broadcasts, alongside the broadcaster’s communication with users. Broadcasters can customize alerts using the available settings.
Fundraising goals display progress on stream, while polls are presented as a way to gather audience opinions in real time. These are separate broadcast tools: one tracks a fundraising target, and the other collects poll responses.
The service also lets streamers receive media files from viewers and choose which files to broadcast.
OAuth access and alert delivery
DonationAlerts requires OAuth 2.0 authorization for all methods of its public API. The API documentation describes a REST-based interface with resource-oriented URLs, JSON responses, and standard HTTP codes, authentication, and verbs.
Authorized users’ donation alerts can be retrieved through the API using the `oauth-donation-index` scope, according to the API documentation. Paginated methods include `meta` and `links` sections in their response bodies.
Custom alerts for a streamer’s broadcast require an Alerts widget variation of the “Custom alerts” type for display, the API documentation states. HTTP API requests are capped at 60 requests per minute per application, according to the API documentation.
Questions before account registration
Before signing in through a new platform, DonationAlerts recommends linking the account through General settings in the dashboard to help avoid creating additional accounts. Ask support how account linking applies to the platforms you plan to use.
The Merchandises API lets merchants sell products through streamers using revenue sharing, according to the API documentation. Access is granted upon request, and the documentation directs integration inquiries to the business contact. Ask what access and commercial terms would apply to your intended integration.
DonationAlerts provides a help center with a knowledge base and an option to ask a question. Use that channel to clarify account linking and API access before registration.
Payment conditions that narrow control
Broadcasters must complete account verification before withdrawing funds, according to the broadcaster terms. The payment terms say 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, according to the payment terms. The terms also allow the company to delay or cancel collection or payment for up to 90 days for specified purposes.
For Visa card remittances, the Payment Terms list limits of 30 transactions per day, 50 per week, and 150 per month. An account unused for more than three calendar months may be assigned inactive status; the Payment Terms say that status terminates the agreement and sets payable donations to zero.
The payment terms state that they do not apply to CIS-based users. Several details are missing; they are listed under What we could not confirm.

Fits if… stream donation tools suit your broadcast and you have clear answers on fees, verification, and remittance timing.
Probably not if your decision requires a daily remittance schedule; the Payment Terms say DonationAlerts aims to process remittances daily but does not guarantee daily processing.
Main risk… the company may change agency fees, while the Payment Terms also permit delayed or cancelled collection or payment for up to 90 days.
