How to set up recurring support on Donator: steady income for a streamer

A one-off donation is nice but unpredictable. Regular support tells you what you can rely on each month, which makes planning equipment and time far easier.

It is also simpler for a viewer to decide once on regular support than to reconsider a donation every single time.

Create your donation link on Donator and share it so viewers find it easily, in the stream description, in chat, and on social media.

Offer viewers a simple plan, for example a monthly support amount, and explain what they get in return, even if that is just recognition on stream.

Name your recurring supporters out loud on stream and thank them regularly. Recognition is what makes a person want to keep supporting you.

A small, consistent gesture, such as a dedicated thank you moment on stream, is worth more than a big promise you cannot keep.

Recurring support is paid to the streamer at a Georgian bank, TBC or Bank of Georgia, in GEL. A small platform fee keeps the service running and growing, and the rest is paid to you.

Viewers pay with any card, Georgian or foreign, so fans abroad and the Georgian diaspora can support you on a regular basis too.

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.
