DonoLink's platform fee is fixed: 3.5% per successful tip. Stripe separately charges its processing fees to the creator's account. Viewers may cover the displayed DonoLink fee.

What changes for your viewers

Viewers open a clear page, choose an amount and pay without an account. Viewers pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, plus Amazon Pay once Stripe has activated it for your account. PayPal is coming soon, and Venmo is not offered. Messages can be filtered and read aloud based on your settings.

What changes for you

Payments are created directly on your connected Stripe account and Stripe handles payouts to your bank. Your dashboard shows every tip, its status and fees. Alerts are designed in a visual editor with live preview, and the "Add everything to OBS" wizard creates the browser sources for you.

Switching from TipeeeStream to DonoLink

Create your page and connect Stripe. Import the history directly with your TipeeeStream API key to keep your totals and leaderboard. Review the import summary and test an OBS alert before replacing the link in your panels, chat commands and socials. Importing history does not move balances or pending payments.

Check these before replacing the link

Keep your current link during preparation. Importing compatible overlay components does not guarantee an identical visual result: review your scene and settings.

Compare dates, amounts and skipped entries in the import summary.
Send a test alert and check visuals, sound, the message filter and text-to-speech in OBS.
Check Stripe status and payment methods on your new page, then replace the shared link and QR codes.
