DonoLink Bot · NL
All-in-one donation platform and bot for streamers
DonoLink brings a donation page, Twitch and YouTube chatbot, and OBS overlays together in one streamer dashboard. Use the same account for your public donation link, commands, timers and alerts; configure connections for each channel.
Find the bot under Plugins in your dashboard. If it is not available for your account yet, contact DonoLink before switching tools. A connected channel also needs an active bot connection before commands can respond.
When one platform is useful
Using separate tools for donations, chat links and alerts can mean updating the same details in several places. DonoLink puts these parts in one dashboard. Create a donation page, share it through your bot and configure the alert in OBS. This reduces time spent finding settings, while you still decide which commands and notifications suit your community and how often they appear.
Compare tools against your stream routine
Consider your channels, payment methods, language and everyday tasks. Do you need a few commands, or also a donation page, alerts and music controls? Check which bot functions are available for your account. Include the platform fee and separate Stripe processing costs in your comparison. A features list tells you less than one complete trial with your actual channel and OBS scene.
Switch without disrupting your existing stream
List your current commands and timers first. Recreate the essential replies in DonoLink and check all public links. Avoid having two bots answer the same command or publish the same timer. Disable old automated messages after the new channel test passes. Then test the donation page and OBS separately and replace your old donation link in your profile and stream description.
One dashboard, three different jobs
DonoLink combines a donation page, OBS overlays and a chatbot. Your donation link is for viewers who want to support you financially. A bot command answers a chat message, for example with that public link. An overlay displays an alert in your broadcast. You configure these parts separately but manage them from the same account. A working chat command therefore does not establish that payments or OBS audio are already working.
Start with a small setup
Begin with a donation command, one information command and one timer. Choose who can use each command and set a cooldown to limit repetition. Have timers share useful information such as your schedule or donation link; avoid several messages appearing together. Music requests need their own player and settings. Add them after testing the basics, and use music for which you have the necessary rights.
What to check before each livestream
Test with a real chat message in the connected channel. Check the reply, link and repeated use. Separately make a short OBS recording with a test alert and listen to its audio. To verify the full payment journey, a completed donation must appear in both the dashboard and overlay. If something fails, check the channel connection, bot status and permissions first. Change one setting at a time so you can identify which step fixes the issue.
Donations in your country
For the Netherlands, use donolink.nl. You can offer iDEAL when it is available for your creator account. The standard DonoLink fee is 3.5% per donation; Stripe separately charges €0.29 for iDEAL. Share your own public link and check active payment methods in the dashboard.
Frequently asked questions
Is a chatbot the same as a donation platform?
No. A chatbot handles chat commands and automated messages. DonoLink adds a public donation page and OBS alerts. Stripe handles payments; the bot itself does not process card details.
Do viewers need a DonoLink account?
Viewers do not need a DonoLink account to donate. Share the public donation link from your dashboard. Do not share overlay URLs, secret keys or account access in chat.
Do all commands work identically on Twitch and YouTube?
Commands and timers use the same bot settings, but permissions, chat connections and platform actions differ. Test each channel separately. A successful Twitch test does not establish that a YouTube livestream works.
