DonatePay
Tool · this deep dive is built from the official pages of the platform itself and of the tools that support it.
Overview
DonatePay is a tool for accepting donations during live streams. The self-description word for word, with the spelling of the source preserved: "A service for accepting donation on streams" — the quotation is in Russian and the translation is ours (homepage). This is the tool's own claim about itself, not an independent assessment.
The description is extremely short, and about the composition of the work there is nothing more in the sources we checked: neither about what the donation form looks like, nor about alerts on the stream, nor about withdrawing money. A "Questions and answers" section on the site does exist, but its use for machine reading is small — about that below.
The interface language of the homepage is ru, taken from the markup attribute; no other language versions are declared in hreflang. This is the only tool in this batch, together with Perfluence, whose main language is Russian.
Which platforms it works with
There is no list of platforms, and this has been established by inspection, not by guesswork. The pages /integrations, /platforms, /channels and /features do not exist for this tool — all four return 404. A list of streaming platforms was not found.
The questions and answers page can be read, but its content is loaded by scripts: the sections "System settings", "Images", "Sounds" are empty in the markup. That is, the answer may well be there — but from the outside it is not visible.
Here too is a trap that is easy to fall into. On the pages VK, Telegram and YouTube are named — but these are the tool's own communities, links to its pages in those networks, not supported platforms. From the fact that the tool has its own channel on YouTube it in no way follows that it can accept donations on YouTube broadcasts. Counting such links as a list of integrations is not allowed.
The upshot: not a single streaming platform is named by the tool as supported in the sources we checked.
How you earn with it
Let us distinguish two things that are especially easy to confuse here.
Earning through the tool is the essence of the tool itself: it was made precisely so that an author receives donations during streams (homepage). But not a single figure is named on the open pages: no share taken by the tool, no commissions of the payment systems, no thresholds or terms of withdrawal, no currencies.
An affiliate programme of the tool itself is not announced. The address /partners redirects to a sign-in form, there are no public terms there; /referral and /affiliate return 404. Note the difference: a page behind a sign-in is not "there is no programme", it is "the terms are not published". It is precisely the second that we record.
What it will not do
Naming the platforms it works with is something DonatePay does not allow from the outside: there is no list, four expected addresses are absent, and the substantive sections of the help centre are loaded by scripts and are empty in the markup.
Showing the terms of an affiliate programme without a sign-in it does not allow either: the single suitable address leads away to an authorisation form.
How much it takes and what is free, the open pages do not say: no commissions, no plans, no minimum donation amount, no withdrawal thresholds. For a tool that works with other people's money this is the most substantial omission: the cost of the matter will have to be found out after registration.
