DIY and craft streamer donations in Georgia
Donator Editorial
Knitting, woodworking, epoxy resin pieces, and making something by hand have become a live stream topic in Georgia too. A DIY streamer on Donator takes donations by any bank card, the alert never covers the working hands, and the money lands in a Georgian bank, in GEL.
Donator is Georgia's #1 platform: 3% commission, paid out in GEL straight to your Georgian bank.

Step 1 of 3
A donation that buys the materials
Yarn, wood, resin, or paint do not appear for free, so a donation often funds the next project's materials directly. Viewers see their support turn into an actual object.
With Donator, viewers send a donation by card with no registration, so the support feels as tangible as the finished piece itself.
Some crafters tie a goal bar to a specific supply, enough for a new set of woodcarving tools, so viewers can watch it fill in real time and know exactly what their combined support will buy.
An alert that never covers the hands
The donation alert shows through an OBS Browser Source, and you place it beside the workbench so the knitting or cutting detail always stays visible.
On a long project, an hours-long stream, the alert still appears instantly without making you stop your hands.
If you enable TTS, the donor's name is read aloud the moment the alert fires, so every supporter gets acknowledged without you lifting your gaze from a delicate stitch or a fine carving line.
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.
| Donator | Foreign service | |
|---|---|---|
| Payment for materials | Any card, GEL | Often needs a foreign wallet |
| Payout | TBC or Bank of Georgia, in GEL | Often hard or limited |
| Alert near the workbench | Free positioning, via OBS | Similar |
Questions from DIY and craft streamers
Can I add the alert without covering the hand work?
- Yes. The overlay comes as an OBS Browser Source, and where it sits and how big it is stays entirely up to you.
Can I dedicate a donation to a specific project or material?
- Yes. Viewers write the project or color in the message, and you read it on air.
How much does Donator take?
- Donator charges 3% platform fee on a materials donation, and 97% of the amount reaches your Georgian account in GEL.
Why Donator instead of YouTube memberships or TikTok gifts?
- YouTube memberships and TikTok gifts spin only inside their own app and route every payment through that same system. On Donator, funding materials works with any card, Georgian or foreign, so the diaspora can back a craft project too, and the money drops straight into a Georgian bank in GEL. DonationAlerts and Streamlabs are tuned for other countries and often ask for a foreign wallet, while Donator runs a Georgian interface and stays a short, direct path for a donation inside Georgia.
