Streaming from an island with a multilingual chat
Cyprus has a special mix. Greek and Turkish are the official languages, English is widely spoken, and the island is home to people from all over Europe and beyond. Many Cypriot streamers switch between Greek and English, and their chat often includes viewers from Greece, the UK and the Cypriot diaspora.
DonoLink handles that without fuss. Your donation page runs in euro, the currency of Cyprus since 2008, and you write your own alert texts in whatever language suits your stream. A viewer in Nicosia, Athens or London tips you the same way, and you receive euro in your Cypriot bank account.
Because the alert text is yours, you can thank someone in Greek on one stream and in English on the next, or mix both in one line.
Payment methods your Cypriot donors can use
Every page supports Visa and Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay, which covers anyone with a bank card or a smartphone wallet. For Cyprus, Revolut Pay is switched on by default as the local extra, useful for anyone on the island who keeps a Revolut account next to their bank.
Local methods appear once Stripe has activated them on your account, so Revolut Pay is something you can offer rather than a promise for day one. In your settings you can turn on other euro methods Stripe supports, up to six per page. PayPal is coming soon.
- Visa and Mastercard
- Apple Pay and Google Pay
- Revolut Pay as the local option
- Up to six methods per donation page
Everything you need on stream
DonoLink gives you OBS browser sources for alerts, a donation goal, recent donations and a leaderboard. Pick fonts, sounds and colours, use text to speech for donor messages, and filter swear words and links.
Linky, the DonoLink chat bot, can post your donation link in chat so you do not have to. It works for Twitch and YouTube, and your page link works on Kick and TikTok LIVE too.
Fees and payouts
DonoLink charges 3.5% per successful donation. No subscription, no setup fee. Stripe charges its own processing costs separately on your account, depending on the payment method; check your Stripe dashboard. Donors can choose to cover the DonoLink fee.
Your money is paid out via Stripe Connect to your own bank account after a one time identity check. Refunds and disputes are handled by Stripe on your account.
Other ways to take tips
Streamlabs and StreamElements tipping, Ko-fi and PayPal.me are all options streamers in Cyprus use. Compare their prices and payment methods on their own websites. DonoLink's strengths are euro payouts, cards and wallets plus Revolut Pay, and alerts that are ready in minutes.
Donations can be income. Check the rules with the Tax Department of the Ministry of Finance or ask an adviser.
