DonationAlerts

The Payment Terms distinguish donation agency fees from card-remittance commissions, while the broadcaster terms say platform use is free. The free-use statement does not remove the company’s stated right to introduce fees by changing its terms.

For EUR or USD card donations, the Payment Terms set an agency fee of 12% at or below 10,000 EUR in monthly donations and 9% above that amount. For BRL donations, they set 14% at or below 6,000 BRL in monthly donations and 12% above that amount. The terms also say service agency fees depend on additional platform functionality and are specified in the platform interface.

The Payment Terms list a 1-unit commission for each of EUR and USD bank-card remittances, subject to stated limitations. They say broadcasters choose a default currency and payment method from the options available on the platform. Refunds are discretionary: the broadcaster terms describe possible refunds for duplicate charges or certain third-party fraud, with requests made within 14 days. Check the applicable fee in the interface and terms before authorizing donations.

The provider says a viewer’s donation can be displayed during a live broadcast, with alerts adjusted through available settings. That gives broadcasters a visible way to represent donations; the cited feature description does not specify how each alert is triggered or shown.

Other on-stream interactions include showing new subscribers and fundraising progress toward a goal. The provider also lists polls for audience opinions in real time and viewer media files that streamers can choose to broadcast. Check which of these interactions fits the format of the stream before enabling them.

Before authorizing, read the Terms of Service, Payment Terms, Privacy Policy, and Cookie Policy: DonationAlerts states that authorization confirms agreement to those documents. Ask which payment conditions and fees apply to the account, and how they affect withdrawal.

If signing in through a new platform, the provider recommends linking the existing account in dashboard General settings first, to help avoid creating additional accounts. Ask support what to do if the account already has more than one sign-in route, rather than assuming each route leads to the same account. The help center offers a knowledge base and an option to ask a question.

For merchandising integrations, the API documentation says access is granted upon request and provides a route for integration inquiries. Ask what information the request should include and which requirements apply to the intended integration.

The broadcaster appoints DonationAlerts as a commercial bill collection agent: the company collects donations and remits them under the terms. The Payment Terms say remittances are aimed at daily processing, but daily processing is not guaranteed.

When a donation arrives in another currency, the Payment Terms say conversion uses the OER exchange rate after a 10 percent deduction. The company may also deduct or withhold taxes it is legally obligated to withhold from amounts payable to broadcasters. Those terms say digital-asset donations are remitted only in USDT through a third-party service.

The Payment Terms state that they do not apply to CIS-based users. The figures and conditions described here therefore need to be checked against the terms applicable to the broadcaster’s account before authorizing payment.

Verification is a stated condition of withdrawal: broadcasters must complete account verification before withdrawing funds. The broadcaster terms also say digital-asset donations are non-refundable and non-recoverable.

The broadcaster terms restrict account use: a broadcaster may not register more than one account unless the company authorizes it, and accounts may not be transferred. The Payment Terms say an account unused for more than three calendar months may receive inactive status; that status automatically terminates the agreement and sets payable donations to zero.

The company may restrict platform availability for capacity, security, integrity, or maintenance reasons. It may also delay or cancel donation collection or payment for up to 90 days for specified purposes. Visa card remittances are capped at 30 transactions per day, 50 per week, and 150 per month, according to the Payment Terms. The API documentation limits HTTP API requests to 60 requests per minute per application. Several details are missing; they are listed under What we could not confirm.

DonationAlerts documents stream controls alongside prerequisites for custom alerts and API access.

• The dashboard supports widget management, stream-event monitoring, and donation-trend analysis, according to the provider.
• The public API supports retrieving authorized users’ donation alerts, but the request requires the `oauth-donation-index` scope.
• Developers can create custom alerts for a broadcast; displaying them requires an Alerts widget variation of the “Custom alerts” type.
• The API documentation describes a REST-based interface with resource-oriented URLs, JSON responses, standard HTTP codes, authentication, and HTTP verbs.
• DALink lets broadcasters create visiting-card pages that link to third-party services and receive donations.
• The Merchandises API supports product sales through streamers using revenue sharing.

Compare donation tools by how they charge, which payment routes they support, and what conditions govern withdrawal. Check whether their stream widgets cover the interactions you need, how account access and transfers are treated, and whether API access fits your integration requirements. Ask providers to identify the terms that apply to your account before authorization.

DonationAlerts may fit a workflow that uses one of its listed sign-in platforms: the provider names Twitch, YouTube, Kick, Facebook, Dailymotion, Discord, Boosty, TikTok, Telegram, and GoodGame. The terms also allow login through third-party APIs, including Twitch.

The provider says the service works with popular streaming platforms and follows their rules. For a custom integration, the public API requires OAuth 2.0 authorization, and the Merchandises API’s minimum integration must use the Send Sale Alerts API to report new sales.

DALink is another documented route for a broadcaster’s page linking to third-party services and receiving donations. Check whether the sign-in route, API requirements, or DALink page matches the account setup you intend to use.

How should broadcasters check which fees apply?

The applicable fees should be checked in the Payment Terms and platform interface. The broadcaster terms state that the company charges an agency fee and may change it; the Payment Terms give card-donation rates for specified currencies and monthly donation thresholds.

How does currency conversion work?

Currency conversion uses the OER exchange rate after a 10 percent deduction, according to the Payment Terms. The terms also say that they do not apply to CIS-based users. Check which payment terms apply to the account before relying on this conversion description.

What must broadcasters do before withdrawing?

Broadcasters must complete account verification before withdrawing funds, according to the broadcaster terms. The stated condition does not describe the verification steps or review timing, so ask support what applies to the account before treating a withdrawal as ready.

When are remittances processed?

The Payment Terms say the company aims to process remittances daily, but daily processing is not guaranteed. They also allow donation collection or payment to be delayed or canceled for up to 90 days for specified purposes.

What limits apply to API requests?

The API documentation limits HTTP API requests to 60 requests per minute per application. All methods require OAuth 2.0 authorization. Check the application’s expected request volume against that cap before building an integration.

What is required to display a custom alert?

The provider says developers can create customizable alerts, but displaying them requires the streamer to have an Alerts widget variation of the “Custom alerts” type. Check that the intended widget variation is available in the stream setup before relying on that display route.

Fits if… the listed stream tools and account routes match the broadcaster’s workflow, and the applicable payment terms are clear.

Probably not if… daily remittance processing is essential, since the Payment Terms describe it as an aim rather than a guarantee.

Main risk… authorizing before checking which fees and withdrawal conditions apply, including verification and possible payment delays.
