Step 1 of 3
3% commission on coding streams
On a coding or tech review stream, viewers value your knowledge and thank you with money. On Donator the commission is 3%, so 97% of the amount stays with you. A tech audience often counts exactly where every amount goes and appreciates a transparent platform.
The simple OBS integration appeals to a technical audience. Tech viewers are generous when your knowledge gives them real help, like a fixed bug or an explained architecture. 3% commission means that gratitude lands in full on your bank, with no percentage lost.
Any card, diaspora included
Viewers can pay with a Georgian or foreign card. Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay and Google Pay all work, so a developer viewer pays without friction.
Georgian developers abroad can back you just as easily. Many Georgians in tech work in Germany, the Netherlands or the US, where salaries are high. They watch your coding stream and pay with a local card, and you receive it in GEL to a Georgian bank.
This diaspora connection is strong for tech, because a Georgian developer abroad wants to support the Georgian tech community, and Donator gives that a simple, direct path.
Instant transfers in GEL
Every transfer is instant and lands directly on a Georgian bank in GEL. Developers especially like this, because the money flow is transparent and predictable, with no black box of a foreign wallet.
An instant OBS alert shows the donation live on your stream. During a coding session you can take the thanks right in the terminal or as an on screen alert, without losing the rhythm. The viewer sees that their support was noticed.
Step by step: add card, receive, withdraw
Getting started is simple, almost like integrating an API. First you sign up on Donator and create a profile for your tech channel. Then you specify which Georgian bank you want to receive to, TBC or Bank of Georgia, and add your account number.
Receiving is automatic. A viewer opens your donation page, picks an amount and pays by card. The money appears on your balance instantly and shows in the OBS alert.
Withdrawal happens straight in GEL to your Georgian bank. The whole cycle is in one system, documented and transparent, so you always know exactly where each amount is.
A real example from a stream
Imagine a three hour coding stream where you build an open source project and teach viewers in real time. Out of fifty viewers, thirteen sent a donation from five to fifty GEL. Together that came to around two hundred GEL.
With 3% commission the full two hundred GEL is on your balance. On another platform that shaves a percentage, you would lose twenty to thirty GEL from this one session.
One developer from the Netherlands paid with a European card after you fixed a hard bug together. Another paid from Tbilisi with a Georgian card. Both donations land in GEL on your bank, the same way.
An honest contrast with foreign tools
Foreign tools like PayPal, Stripe or Patreon are often a barrier for a Georgian tech creator. Some do not fully work in Georgia, and in others money sits in a foreign currency, withdrawal takes days, and a fee is attached.
Donator removes that barrier. Money arrives in GEL from the start on a Georgian bank, with no long verification and no conversion. For a developer this is like a clean, documented API instead of a brittle integration.
Honestly, foreign platforms have a wide global audience, but for a Georgian tech creator whose viewers are Georgian and diaspora, direct GEL payout and 3% commission are far more practical.
Why Donator
Donator is Georgia's first and best platform, with an official TBC and Bank of Georgia partnership. That partnership ensures secure and fast transfers in full compatibility with local banks.
We are expanding across the Caucasus, and the commission is 3%. For a tech creator this means reliable, transparent and predictable income that matches how you think as an engineer.
DonationAlerts and Streamlabs: tech money transfers and the local option
Many streamers search DonationAlerts or Streamlabs when they want setup or an alternative. For tech 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.
