Podcast and talk show streamer donations in Georgia
Live podcasts and talk shows in Georgia let the audience join the discussion. On Donator such a streamer takes donations by card, the alert shows the donor's message and you read it out loud on air, and the accumulated total lands in a Georgian bank, in GEL.
A donation as a question to your guest
In a live podcast, a donation naturally turns into a question or a topic: viewers send a message, the host reads it out loud and answers. This keeps the discussion alive and encourages support.
With Donator, viewers send a donation by card with no registration, so joining in is easy right on air.
An alert for a multi-host show
The donation alert shows through an OBS Browser Source and looks the same whether the studio has one host or several guests. The donor name and message appear in real time without breaking the conversation.
| Donator | Foreign service | |
|---|---|---|
| Payment during the show | Any card, GEL | Often needs a foreign wallet |
| Payout | Direct to a Georgian bank | Hard or limited |
| Alert on air | Instant, via OBS | Similar |
Questions from podcasters
- Can I read the donor's question on air?
- Yes. The alert shows the donor's name and message in real time, which is ideal for podcast Q&A.
- Does it work if several people are in the studio?
- Yes. The alert overlay is on OBS and looks the same whether there is one host or several guests.
- How much does Donator take?
- A small platform fee keeps Donator running, and the balance is transferred to you in GEL, into a Georgian bank account.
- Does a viewer need an account?
- No. A listener sends their question by card in seconds, no account required.
- Why Donator instead of YouTube Super Chat or memberships?
- YouTube Super Chat and channel memberships each live inside one platform and settle payment through that platform's own system. Donator takes a different path: as a Georgian service, a listener's question comes through on any bank card, Georgian or foreign, which means the diaspora and listeners abroad can join in too, and the funds go straight to a Georgian bank in GEL. Unlike DonationAlerts and Streamlabs, which are aimed at other markets and often call for a foreign wallet, Donator is Georgian-language-first, the most direct way to get paid for a Georgian podcast.
