Introducing Donastar — A Donation Platform Built for Streamers
Donastar is a donation payment platform where viewers cheer with Dona, and streamers run a station, memberships, and global settlement in one place. Like services such as Toonation, it is built around a simple loop: fans send support, creators receive it, and payouts are settled cleanly.
Official service: donastar.tv
If you want on-stream alerts, multi-platform chat, or TTS, you can optionally connect Streaming tools (streamer.donastar.tv). Donations, memberships, and settlement work on donastar.tv alone.
Who it’s for
- Streamers who want support from fans abroad and in multiple currencies
- Creators who want one-off cheers, monthly memberships, and a station page in one service
- Anyone who wants to link several broadcast platforms under one public donation URL
- Streamers who keep a domestic tool and add Donastar as a global channel alongside it

How donations flow
From the streamer’s side, the path is straightforward.
- Fans charge Dona via Stripe — priced in USD and payable in their local currency at checkout. The amount paid includes a 10% fee.
- On the donation page (
https://donastar.tv/your-id) or station, fans send Dona and an optional cheer message. - Dona are deducted from the fan wallet and credited to your settlement ledger.
- (Optional) With Streaming tools donation alerts enabled, you can show on-stream alerts/TTS. Even without that, the donation and accrual still complete.
Streamer use case: Multistream CHZZK and YouTube, pin one shared Donastar link in chat, and let multilingual fans pay in their own currency instead of juggling platform-only gifts.
Your station — more than a tip page
Every account gets a station on signup. You do not need a separate “streamer-only” registration.
- Basic settings — nickname, bio, profile image
- Channel settings — platform channels, category/country, public link & QR
- Boards — notice and free boards, posts, comments, manager roles
- Fan & subscriber management — cumulative cheerers and membership subscribers
- Managers & blacklist — delegate ops and block abuse
- Subscription products — monthly memberships (up to 10)
- Gifted Dona & settlement — earnings history and withdrawals
Public URLs:
- Donation / profile:

Streamer use case: Before going live, attach YouTube and SOOP channels, put the QR on the waiting screen, and use the notice board for today’s rules so chat does not ask the same questions every stream.
Memberships (monthly subscriptions)
Cheering (spending Dona) and memberships are different. Memberships are monthly card subscriptions fans start on your page. You can create up to 10 products, priced in whole US dollars from a minimum of $3/month.
Under the current policy, membership payments carry a 1% subscription fee (policies can change — check the live service). Unlike cheers, they are not paid from a prepaid Dona balance.
Earnings and settlement
Gifted Dona become streamer revenue and can be withdrawn when rules are met.
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Dona settlement value | 1 Dona = $0.10 (fixed peg, not live FX) |
| When Dona become withdrawable | 1 month after accrual |
| Minimum settlement | 300 Dona ($30) |
| Settlement fee | 8% of the gross withdrawal — Donastar 5% + payment rails 3% |
| Early waiver | For 90 days from your first earnings, while cumulative donation accruals are under 5,000 Dona, the settlement fee is 0% |
| Payout account | Connect only after you have earnings |
Payout paths
- Korea and Brazil — paid via Wise in USD into your own US USD bank account (e.g. the USD account details of a personal Wise account); converting to KRW or BRL is up to you, and a Wise transfer fee of about $1.13 per payout is deducted separately. W-8BEN and ID verification are required for recipients paid by the US entity.
- US, UK, Canada, Switzerland, Japan, and the EEA — onboard with Stripe (paid in USD; Stripe converts it into your bank account’s currency).
- Japan — weekly settlement: requests are paid out the following Monday.
Streamer use case: As overseas fans grow, gather support through one Donastar link and settle with Stripe/Wise instead of adding a new tip tool per country. Keep a domestic method if you want and treat Donastar as the global window.
Home and Explore mainly list channels that are live now. Offline pages still open via direct URL or search.
