Stream donations for Estonian creators
DonoLink is a European donation platform for streamers, available in Estonia for creators on Twitch, YouTube, Kick and TikTok LIVE.

Payments and payouts
- Payment methods: Card (Visa/Mastercard), Apple Pay, Google Pay, Revolut Pay
- Currency: Euro (EUR)
- Tax authority: EMTA (Estonian Tax and Customs Board)
A digital country with a bilingual audience
Estonia is known for its digital public services, and paying on a phone is a normal part of life online. Estonian streamers often have multilingual communities, with English as a bridge to viewers in Finland and further away.
DonoLink lets you serve all of them from one page. You write your own alert texts, so you can thank donors in Estonian, English or any other language, or switch depending on who is in chat. Estonia has used the euro since 2011, so your page runs in euro and your payouts land in your Estonian bank account in euro, without conversion.
Viewers from Finland and the rest of Europe can tip you just as easily, because cards and phone wallets work across borders.
Payment methods, and what is not offered
Every DonoLink page supports Visa and Mastercard plus Apple Pay and Google Pay. For Estonia, Revolut Pay is switched on by default as the local extra. It appears for donors once Stripe has activated it on your account.
One honest note: the bank-link payments known from local web shops, where you click your bank's logo and log in, are not offered on DonoLink, because Stripe does not support them in the Baltics. Your donors use a card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Revolut Pay instead. Since bank cards and phone wallets are part of everyday life in Estonia, that still leaves your viewers familiar ways to pay.
In your settings you can add 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 extra
- No donor account needed
Alerts and overlays for OBS
Add alerts, a donation goal, recent donations and a leaderboard to OBS as browser sources. Choose fonts, colours and sounds, enable text to speech for messages, and filter swear words and links so nothing unwanted shows up on screen.
Linky, the DonoLink chat bot, can share your donation link in Twitch or YouTube chat. Setup happens in your dashboard, no code required.
Fees and payouts
DonoLink charges 3.5% per successful donation. No subscription, no setup fee. Stripe charges its own processing costs on your account, depending on the method; check your Stripe dashboard for details. Donors can choose to cover the DonoLink fee.
Payouts run through Stripe Connect to your own bank account after a one time identity check. Refunds and disputes are handled by Stripe on your account.
DonoLink and the alternatives
Estonian streamers also use Streamlabs or StreamElements tipping, Ko-fi or a PayPal.me link. Compare their fees and payment options on their own websites. DonoLink focuses on euro payouts, cards and wallets with Revolut Pay, and alerts that are ready in minutes.
Donations can be income. Check the rules with EMTA, the Estonian Tax and Customs Board, or ask an adviser.
