Pottery and ceramics stream donations in Georgia
Donator Editorial

Pottery stream donations in Georgia bring to life throwing on the wheel, shaping clay, and glaze demonstrations that pull a growing audience on screen. A pottery streamer on Donator takes donations by any bank card, a shape or vessel request rides along with the donation itself, and the money lands in a Georgian bank, TBC or Bank of Georgia, 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 as a shape request
On a pottery stream, viewers want you to show a specific vessel, form, or glaze color. A donation moves that wish to the front of the line, and the maker picks the next piece by the donor's request.
With Donator, viewers send a donation by card with no registration, so suggesting the shape and supporting the stream happen in a single move.
If you scratch the donor's name into the base of their requested piece before it goes into the kiln, a simple donation becomes a personal commission. The viewer sees that this object was made for them.
An alert that never covers the wheel
The donation alert shows through an OBS Browser Source, and you place it in a screen corner so the wheel shot and the work of your hands stay free.
At a delicate shaping moment, the alert appears briefly and keeps its sound cue, so viewers notice a donation even while you work.
When the camera switches from a wide shot to a close-up of the clay walls rising, a corner-placed alert stays readable in both frames without competing with the tactile detail viewers tune in to see.
Any card and diaspora viewers
Lovers of Georgian ceramics often reach beyond borders. Because payment works with any card, Georgian or foreign, a Georgian in the diaspora backs the studio just as easily as a local viewer.
A donor needs no registration, so it is a single step from a shape idea to the support.
Viewers who want to commission a specific piece can describe it in the donation message, turning the live stream into a direct order channel alongside a performance.
Payout to a Georgian bank, in GEL
Donations collected while you wedge clay and fire the kiln reach a Georgian bank, TBC or Bank of Georgia, directly in GEL, with no currency conversion and no foreign wallet.
Built in Georgia and an official partner of TBC and Bank of Georgia, Donator charges a 3% platform fee on what your wheel and glaze work brings in, and it is gradually expanding across the Caucasus.
Consistent GEL deposits make it practical to budget clay, glazes, and kiln time directly from donation income, so the studio stays materially independent without waiting on exchange rates.
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 a shape request | Any card, GEL | Often needs a foreign wallet |
| Payout | TBC or Bank of Georgia, in GEL | Often hard or limited |
| Alert near the wheel | Free positioning, via OBS | Similar |
Questions from pottery streamers
Can I order shape requests by donation?
- Yes. The vessel or shape description shows in the donor's message, and you decide which piece to take on next.
Does the alert work while I work at the wheel?
- Yes. The alert is an OBS Browser Source, so you can add it in any scene, including over the wheel shot.
How much does Donator take?
- Donator charges 3% platform fee, and 97% of the amount goes straight to your Georgian bank account in GEL.
Why Donator instead of Patreon or Ko-fi?
- Patreon and Ko-fi are tuned for other markets, and payouts often route to a foreign wallet, slowly and with extra cost. On Donator, a donation arrives by any bank card, Georgian or foreign, so a viewer in the diaspora can back you too, and the payout drops straight into a Georgian bank in GEL. Donator was built Georgian-language-first from day one and is a direct route to receiving donations in Georgia.
