4 – How to Donate Money on Twitch with DIRECT DONATIONS

While writing this article, I kept the majority of people in mind who asked what is the best way to give money to twitch streamers?

This is a direct donation to streamer where they almost get the full amount that you donate.

Generally, from the other ways of donation, twitch takes its cut so the full amount doesn’t reach the streamer.

If the streamer has set any bot for donations then you can get the link by typing !donate in the chatbox of the streamer.

PayPal is one of the best ways and if you check the streamers about section you will see a donation button that redirects to donations sites like stream elements and PayPal. But you must know how much money can you send on Paypal so in case payment fails you better speak to PayPal support.

• Open your streamer channel to whom you want to donate.
• Click on their name which is very right of their profile picture.
• Now click on the About tab and you will see all kinds of links here, look for donate button and click on it. 

  

• You will be now redirected to the donations page, type the amount and other details to directly send the money.

So, this method is the best way to donate full money to any twitch streamer.

5 – Support Streamers by purchasing from their Affiliate links & Merch

Most of the streamers either have their merch or linked affiliate products and many have both of them.

Generally, affiliates links can be from the sponsors or affiliate sites like Amazon.

Now the best part with this affiliate link is that both streamers and viewers get benefits from this link. If you purchase any product from this affiliate link you may get a discount and a streamer will receive a small commission.

Similarly, if the streamer has their merch you can buy the products related to the streamer or their content.
This is also considered as one of the best ways to donate your favorite twitch streamer as you donate in return for some good deal.

 

6 – Patreon 

I guess you may have heard about Patreon which I can say is a membership platform that connects directly viewers to the streamers.

There are several memberships and benefits created for a specific amount in Patreon where twitch fans can join to enjoy it.

I have seen many streamers even run twitch private streams only for their Patreon members.

You may see this option only with a few streamers but still, this is an option that exists in twitch in terms of donation.

7 – FREE DONATION on TWITCH

We can also call donations as support that every streamer needs from their viewers or fans.

If you are not in a position to donate money to your favorite twitch streamer then you can support them in many other ways.

Streamers really get big support when a few of their viewers are always active on their stream and also engage other viewers by answering them in the chat.

There are many tasks like changing stream title and creating thumbnails which you can do as a mod to help your streamer.

Though it depends on the streamer as there is no surety whether twitch mods get paid or not.
