How to set up a donation alert in OBS with a Browser Source

All you need is OBS Studio and your Donator alert link from your profile. There is no separate program to download and no Streamlabs Desktop install required.

The alert link is unique to your account. You paste it into a Browser Source, and OBS connects to the browser layer where an incoming donation appears, similar to a DonationAlerts or Streamlabs alert.

In OBS, click the plus in the Sources panel and choose Browser. Give it a name, for example Donation Alert, and click OK.

In the URL field, paste your alert link. Set a width and height that fit your scene, then click OK.

Drag the Browser Source to where you want it on screen. When a donation comes in, the alert appears on this layer automatically, with the donor name and message.

Before going live, run a test alert so you are sure the position and visibility are correct.

If the alert does not show, check that the link is pasted exactly and that the Browser Source is not hidden behind other layers.

If you already used a DonationAlerts or Streamlabs (or Streamlabs Desktop) alert, the idea is the same: a Browser Source and a URL. You can keep your scene and replace only the URL with your Donator link.

In Georgia, payout often matters most: instead of a foreign wallet, money lands in GEL on TBC or Bank of Georgia. Full comparison: DonationAlerts and Streamlabs alternative for Georgia.

Many streamers start with DonationAlerts or Streamlabs, because those are the names people type when they search for an OBS donation alert, a donation page, or an alternative to a foreign tool. StreamElements often shows up in the same shortlist.

In Georgia those products are often built for other markets: foreign wallets, awkward withdrawals, or fees that never land cleanly in GEL. Patreon and PayPal still fit some creator formats, but they do not always replace live stream donations with payout to a Georgian bank.

Donator is built so a viewer can pay with any card, Georgian or foreign, the alert can show in OBS right away, and the money settles in GEL to TBC or Bank of Georgia. If you already used DonationAlerts or Streamlabs, you can keep the same alert habit and fix payouts locally.
