Step 1 of 3

Can you receive donations without a company

Yes. An individual can register on Donator, and donations are paid directly to a personal Georgian bank account, TBC or Bank of Georgia, in GEL. There is no separate legal entity required to begin.

Viewers pay with any bank card, Georgian or foreign, so the diaspora and fans abroad can support you through the same link.

How you receive funds to a personal account

Register on Donator, connect your Georgian bank account, and share your donation link on stream and in your profiles. Incoming donations show on your dashboard and payouts are made in GEL.

A small platform fee keeps the service running and growing, and the rest is credited to your account. Unlike foreign tools, this model pays out directly to a Georgian bank in GEL.

What to consider as amounts grow

This guide is general information and not guaranteed legal or tax advice. Small, irregular donations are usually simple, but as amounts grow or become regular income, it is wise to check your local rules.

If donations turn into steady and meaningful income, it is worth consulting an accountant or a relevant specialist so you are set up correctly. Donator handles the payment and payout, the rest is your choice.

Why Donator suits a new individual creator

Donator is Georgia's first and best streaming donation platform, in official partnership with TBC and Bank of Georgia, and it is actively expanding across the Caucasus.

A new individual does not need a foreign wallet or a company to start. A Georgian bank account is enough, and the platform handles the rest.

DonationAlerts and Streamlabs: accepting donations without a registered business and the local option

Many streamers search DonationAlerts or Streamlabs when they want setup or an alternative. For accepting donations without a registered business in Georgia, GEL payout is often the real friction.

On Donator the OBS alert shows right away, viewers pay with any card, and money goes to TBC or Bank of Georgia. You can keep the same alert habit and fix payouts locally.

DonationAlerts, Streamlabs, and other tools: what changes in 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.
