Donations for Croatian streamers, simple and in euro

Streaming from Croatia to a wider audience

Croatian streamers often have a chat that goes beyond Croatia itself. Viewers from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro and Slovenia can follow a Croatian stream with little effort, and the Croatian diaspora in Germany, Austria and elsewhere tunes in too. That is great for your community, but it means your donors pay with a lot of different banks and cards.

DonoLink keeps that simple. Anyone with a Visa or Mastercard, Apple Pay or Google Pay can tip you, wherever they live, and you receive everything in euro. Since Croatia adopted the euro on 1 January 2023, that is also the currency of your own bank account, so payouts arrive without conversion.

Your page shows euro amounts that work for everyone, so a viewer in Zagreb and a viewer in Munich see exactly the same price.

Payment methods on your Croatian donation page

The basics are always there: cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay. For Croatia, Revolut Pay is switched on by default as the local extra, handy for viewers who already keep money in the Revolut app. Local methods appear once Stripe has activated them on your account, so you can offer Revolut Pay, but Stripe decides when it goes live.

Because your page runs in euro, you can switch on other euro methods Stripe supports in your settings, up to six per page. If a big part of your chat watches from Austria, for example, you could add EPS for them. PayPal is coming soon and is not available yet.

• Visa and Mastercard
• Apple Pay and Google Pay
• Revolut Pay as the default local extra
• Optional extra euro methods, max six per page

Alerts and overlays in your own language

You write the alert text yourself, so your on-screen thank you can be in Croatian, with the donor name and amount filled in automatically. Text to speech reads messages out loud, and the filters let you hide swear words or links before anything appears on stream.

Add the alerts, a donation goal, recent donations and a leaderboard to OBS as browser sources. Linky, the DonoLink chat bot, can post your donation link in chat on Twitch or YouTube, so new viewers find it without you repeating yourself.

What you pay and how you get your money

DonoLink charges 3.5% per successful donation. No monthly fee, no setup costs. Stripe charges its own processing costs separately on your account, and they vary by payment method, so check your Stripe dashboard for the details. Donors can choose to cover the DonoLink fee.

You get paid through Stripe Connect to your own bank account after a one time identity check. Refunds and disputes go through Stripe on your account.

Comparing DonoLink with other options

Croatian streamers also use Streamlabs or StreamElements tipping, Ko-fi pages or a PayPal.me link. Check on their own websites what they charge and which payment methods your viewers can use. DonoLink's focus is euro payouts, wallets and Revolut Pay for donors, and alerts that work straight away.

Donations can be income. Check what applies to you with Porezna uprava, the Croatian Tax Administration, or ask an adviser.
