To be fair. the greed of twitch is well known across the web. as long as the money goes to charity one way or another id be happy. just heartless when a company HAS to make a profit instead of doing the right thing.

theyve implemented it now by the way, only twitch take a massive cut from it in "fees".... and you cant turn it off. cant even set an unreasonable minimum like 100k to make sure no one can donate

Direct donations fight directly against bits (i.e. against a 25-40% cut for twitch), so they will never implement something like this. Lot's of streamer 3rd party websites, like Streamlabs, Streamelements and who knows how many more, allow for this, it is safe, and they don't take a penny from it, but you can also use a paypal.me link, if you are uncomfortable with going through a 3rd party (things is those 3rd parties also provide you with a trigger for an on-screen alert)

EDIT: And before people say they do take a cut, that's the cut PayPal takes, you'd get the exact same amount if the money was PayPal'd to you directly or through a paypal.me link

Sounds good on paper, but in practice, either Twitch takes a cut which defeats the point of a direct donation, or Twitch is encouraging people to spend money on something that they don't benefit from at all instead of subs/bits, which they would never do for fairly obvious reasons.

I think it would be really cool if there was an easy way to add a donation button

Many people have come to my stream, asked for a donations link, but I had to sadly turn them down, and since I am not affiliated, I cannot receive subscriptions or bits.

Hey!
You should add the feature that sites like Tipeeestream or StreamElements can add an extension that allows the streamer to see donations in the activity feed. I'd like to use the creator dashboard as tool to see whats going on in my stream, but I simply can't, just because there's no option to see donations from sites like this. I'd love to see a feature like this!
Thank you! :)

have you resolved this point? I also received some donations but I have no idea how to claim or to see an account balance

идеята е малко по опростено да се намира опцията от коиято да си наместиш пейпал и по какъв начин и каде да ти се превеждат даренията от вип или донеит в лвл или било то в $

Viele Streamer und Streamerinnen haben schon das Problem gehabt mit gefakten Zahlungen und überhöhten Gebüren. Warum gibt es eigentlich kein Bezahlsystem von Twitch , was zum Donaten genutzt werden kann?

Make a section to link paypal. I can't seem to link mine to get my donations. And idk where it tells me my donations ether so idk where my donations are

donation im stream manager einfügen zum beispiel über link

I want to be able to read donations from Stream Manager. But I can't. The only way to do that is to see the donation from stream or have a tab open for your donation history.

how to set up donations

I would like it if any chanel could have chanel points and also if any chanel could have donations, it would give people a drive and a focus

please fix my mistake I am not receiving my paypal donations and twitch support is not responding to me ..

Every extension that features this is associated to a charity fundraising webpage. But, what if the cause if maybe... getting a new pc, for example? None of these sites support a personal cause.

Mettre en place un système de donations autres que les bits, twitch prendrait sa commission sur le don afin que cela soit sécuriser pour le steamer et le viewers

agreed it would really help as i have a credit card on my xbox and stream on twitch and makes no sense why we cannot have a donate button

Just another way to spend money conveniently.
