Step 1 of 3

Receive applause and money from any card

During a live set, viewers say thank you with a transfer. Donator accepts Georgian and foreign cards alike, with no extra barrier.

A supporter sends money in one tap, and you receive 97% of the amount at 3% commission. There is no separate app to install and no account for the viewer to create, they simply open the link to your page.

For a singer this means every song can turn into direct income, without waiting for a stage booking or a venue slot. The moment a listener is moved, they can act on it, and that immediacy is what turns casual attention into real support.

How 3% commission works in real numbers

Donator takes no cut on transfers. Whatever a supporter sends lands in your account in full, and that is not a marketing rounding, it is the exact figure.

Imagine that in a single live stream your viewers send 620 GEL. With Donator, exactly 620 GEL reaches your bank. A foreign platform charging twenty to thirty percent would leave you with roughly 430 to 500 GEL from the same viewers.

Across a year of weekly streams, that gap compounds into hundreds and often thousands of GEL. That is money staying with the artist who earned it, rather than with an intermediary who never heard a note.

Step by step: add a card, receive, withdraw in GEL

First, create your Donator page and connect your Georgian bank account at TBC or Bank of Georgia. This is a one time setup and takes only a few minutes.

Second, a supporter opens your link, picks an amount and enters their card. That card can be Georgian or foreign, and the system treats both the same way, so no viewer is ever turned away because of where their card was issued.

Third, the transfer appears on your balance instantly and is paid out in GEL to your connected bank. There is no manual withdrawal request, no minimum threshold to reach first, and no foreign wallet sitting between you and your money.

A real scenario: Friday night stream

Nino hosts a live singing stream every Friday. Viewers type the song they want to hear and attach a transfer to the request. Each one pops up on screen as an alert, so the room feels the moment together.

One evening she received 35 transfers totalling 620 GEL. The system took 0%, and the full 620 GEL was paid in GEL to her bank without waiting until Monday for a batch settlement.

For Nino this became a dependable weekly income that rests on nothing but her voice and her connection with the people listening. She no longer treats streaming as a hobby that occasionally pays, she treats it as a channel she can plan around.

The diaspora sits close to your concert

Georgian fans abroad back you through Donator as if they were in the room. Donator is Georgia's first platform and is expanding across the Caucasus.

A Georgian living in Berlin, London or New York opens your stream, hears a song from home, and sends support from a foreign card. The money still reaches you in GEL, converted and settled without you touching a currency exchange.

Distance stops being a barrier and becomes a way to grow your audience. The people who left carry your music with them, and now they have a direct way to give back to the artist keeping that music alive.

Common questions and honest doubts

Many singers ask whether card transfers are safe. Donator runs on the official infrastructure of TBC and Bank of Georgia, so every transaction is protected to a bank grade standard rather than a hobby project standard.

A second common doubt is about tax. Because funds arrive in GEL directly to your Georgian bank, you declare income the ordinary local way, with no offshore wallet balance to reconcile or explain.

A third question is speed. Payouts are instant, which means you never pause a stream to check whether the money arrived, and you never lose days waiting for a foreign processor to release your own earnings.

An honest contrast with foreign tools

International platforms often require a foreign wallet, impose withdrawal limits and hold your balance in dollars or euros, which adds a conversion cost every time you cash out.

Donator needs no intermediary wallet. Funds go straight to your Georgian bank in GEL, with local support in the Georgian language and no time zone gap when you need help.

For a singer focused on a Georgian audience, that means lower cost, fewer obstacles and more control over your own income. You are not adapting your career to a tool built for another market, you are using one built for yours.

DonationAlerts and Streamlabs: singing money transfers and the local option

Many streamers search DonationAlerts or Streamlabs when they want setup or an alternative. For singing money transfers 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.
