How do stained-glass streamers get donations?

Viewers often want a specific design, colored glass, or ornament worked into the panel. A donation moves that wish to the front of the line, and you cut the next fragment by the donor's request.

With Donator, viewers send a donation by card with no registration, so suggesting the design and supporting the stream happen in a single move.

A donor who picks a specific shade of cobalt blue or a particular ornament then watches you cut and fit that exact piece into the panel, a kind of co-authorship no comment or like can replicate.

The donation alert shows through an OBS Browser Source, and you place it in a screen corner so the colored glass, the design, and the hands shot stay free.

While cutting and soldering glass, the alert appears briefly and never breaks concentration, so every new fragment stays visible.

Since glass cutting and soldering demand both hands, the alert sound alone is enough to acknowledge a donor mid-cut, and you can call out their name and design request without setting down the cutter.

An art community often reaches beyond borders. Because payment works with any card, Georgian or foreign, a Georgian in the diaspora picks a design just as easily as a local viewer.

A donor needs no registration, so it is a single step from picking a design to supporting the stream.

Collectors and restoration specialists who follow stained-glass streams to study historical technique, from Byzantine to Gothic, can request a specific period pattern through a donation without creating an account.

Donations collected while you cut, foil and solder a panel land in a Georgian bank, TBC or Bank of Georgia, in GEL, with no currency conversion and no foreign wallet.

Donator charges 3% platform fee on donations and 97% of the amount goes to your Georgian bank unchanged. It is a Georgian-built donation platform, an official partner of TBC and Bank of Georgia.

For a craft where a sheet of specialty colored or antique restoration glass can cost several hundred lari, receiving donations directly in GEL makes it simple to reorder from a local supplier the same day.

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.
