Receive donations during Facebook Live
Facebook Live is still widely used for local communities, gaming, music and events. Alongside Facebook's own tools, an external donation link lets viewers support you by card in seconds, and every donation can appear on screen when you stream from OBS.

At a glance
- A donation link for the description and a pinned comment.
- On-screen alerts when you stream with OBS.
- No account for the donor. Viewers pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay and local methods per country (e.g. BLIK in Poland, Satispay in Italy, Swish in Sweden). Local methods appear once Stripe has activated them for your account.
- The same link works on your other platforms.
Prepare your Facebook Live
- Create your DonoLink page and connect Stripe.
- Add alerts to OBS and send a test alert.
- Stream from OBS with your Facebook stream key.
- Add your link to the description and pin it in a comment.
Facebook's tools and an external link
Facebook offers its own support tools depending on country and page, with their own conditions. An external donation link has no threshold and also works for fans who follow you elsewhere. Both can coexist; follow Facebook's rules on links.
Where to put your link
So it is seen during the live:
- In the live video description.
- In a comment pinned at the start of the live.
- On your page or profile, in the contact section.
- In a QR code shown in your OBS scene.
Show donations on screen
Stream your Facebook Live from OBS Studio with the stream key Facebook provides, then add DonoLink alerts as a browser source. Every donation triggers the alert, with the message and text-to-speech if enabled. Add a donation goal to show progress towards a project.
