Twitch donations without PayPal in the UK

A PayPal.me link is the classic first tip jar, but it plays no alert, often shows your full name and can hold funds for new sellers for up to 21 days. DonoLink gives you a proper tip page instead, with Stripe payments in pounds on your own account and alerts in OBS. PayPal itself is coming soon to DonoLink.

Where a PayPal.me link falls short

A payment link is not a tip platform:

No on-screen alert, goal or leaderboard.
No message moderation before messages appear.
Viewers usually see the name on your PayPal account.
New sellers can see funds held for up to 21 days, and small disputes around £20 are not protected.

How DonoLink works instead

Your viewer opens your page, picks an amount and pays. Viewers pay by debit or credit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, plus Pay by Bank and Revolut Pay once Stripe has activated them for your account. PayPal is coming soon. The tip is created on your connected Stripe account and shows up in your dashboard and in OBS within seconds.

What it costs

DonoLink charges 3.5% per successful tip, with no subscription. Stripe charges its fee to your account: 1.5% + 20p on a standard UK card, so a £10 tip leaves you £9.30. A PayPal tip costs roughly the same, but without the holds and the dispute gaps.

Switch without losing supporters

Announce the new link over a few streams and pin it in chat. Update your panels, descriptions and bio at the same time so two links never compete. Import your history from a supported platform to keep your leaderboard, then retire the PayPal link once your community has moved.
