Apple Pay and Google Pay tips for streamers

Most tips happen on a phone, often while the viewer watches the stream on another screen. Apple Pay and Google Pay reduce payment to a fingerprint, face or passcode confirmation. DonoLink offers them automatically when the supporter's device is compatible.

Why digital wallets increase tips

Every field to fill in is a chance to give up. With Apple Pay or Google Pay, the supporter does not need to find their card: they confirm and it is done. On mobile it is often the fastest way to tip during a big moment in the stream.

When the button appears

The button depends on the viewer's device:

Apple Pay: on iPhone, iPad or Mac with Safari and a saved card.
Google Pay: on Android or Chrome with a saved card.
Otherwise, the supporter simply pays by card.

Security and fees

The payment goes through Stripe, on your connected account. The real card number is not shared with the merchant. DonoLink charges 3.5% per successful tip; Stripe separately charges its processing fees to the creator account.

DonoLink domains are registered with Stripe for digital wallets. There is nothing for you to configure.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to set up Apple Pay myself?

No. DonoLink and Stripe handle it; the button appears when the supporter's device is compatible.

Why is the button not showing?

The device or browser is not compatible, or no card is saved. The supporter can then pay by card.

Are the fees different?

DonoLink always charges 3.5% per successful tip. Stripe fees depend on its terms.
