Raise Money From Your Twitch Community

Your community shows up to support a cause, a goal, or each other. When you run a charity stream or a fundraiser, you should not hand roughly half of it to the platform. PayIt2 gives you one link to drop in chat, your panels, or your socials.

How to Raise Money on Twitch

Twitch has its own ways to send money to a streamer, but each one takes a meaningful cut. Subscriptions run on a standard 50/50 split, so Twitch keeps about half of every sub before payment and mobile fees, and Twitch also takes a share of every Bit a viewer buys. Those tools are great for ongoing channel support, but they were not built for rallying your community around a specific goal, and they only pay you once you are in the Affiliate or Partner program.

When you want to run a charity stream, raise money for a community member going through something, fund new gear or an IRL meetup, or hit a clear donation goal on screen, a direct collection link keeps the cut small and works no matter your channel size. You create a page, drop one link in chat, your panels, and your socials, and viewers pay from any device with no account needed.

There are two ways to do it, depending on what you are raising for:

Run a Fundraiser (any amount)

For charity streams, a cause, gear, or a community goal. Viewers give any amount and the fee is 3.85% per donation plus Stripe processing, so far more reaches the goal than a roughly 50% platform cut.

Sell Tickets to an Event (set amount)

For an IRL meetup, a subscriber game night, or a watch party. You set the price and the fee is a flat $1.49 per ticket plus Stripe processing.

One honest note for charity streams: if you are raising for a registered nonprofit, tools like Tiltify route money straight to the charity and issue tax receipts, which can matter for a 501(c)(3) drive. PayIt2 is the better fit when the money should come to you, for your own goal, your community, gear, or an event. Check the current rates on the fees page before you launch.

Supporting your channel

You can use PayIt2 to raise ongoing support for your channel too; a "support the stream" fundraiser is exactly that, and you keep far more of it than Twitch's roughly 50% sub split. The real difference is integration, not capability: subscriptions and Bits are built into Twitch with one-click chat support and sub badges, whereas PayIt2 is a link you share. You trade the in-chat button and badges for keeping the money and not needing to be in the Partner program. Contributions to a personal fundraiser are generally not tax-deductible unless you are raising for a qualified nonprofit.

Frequently asked questions

Raising money from a Twitch community

Twitch's built-in options are subscriptions and Bits, which both share revenue with Twitch (subs run a standard 50/50 split). To raise money for a specific goal or charity stream, many streamers add a direct collection link instead: set up a PayIt2 fundraiser or event, drop the link in chat, a panel, or a chat command, and viewers pay from any device. Funds reach your bank in 2 to 3 business days.
Subscriptions use a standard 50/50 split, so Twitch keeps about half (top streamers can earn an improved split), and Twitch also takes a share of every Bit a viewer buys. By comparison, a PayIt2 fundraiser is 3.85% per donation and a ticketed event is a flat $1.49 per ticket, each plus Stripe processing and with no monthly fee. See the fees page for current rates.
If you are raising for a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, a tool like Tiltify routes the money straight to the charity and handles tax receipts, which is the right call for an official charity drive. If the money should come to you, for your own goal, your community, new gear, or an event, PayIt2 is the better fit: one link, a small fee, and funds in your own bank in 2 to 3 business days.
Yes. Twitch monetization requires joining the Affiliate or Partner program first, but a PayIt2 page has no follower minimum at all. Even a small or brand-new channel can run a fundraiser or sell event tickets to the community it has today.
Funds deposit to your connected bank account in 2 to 3 business days after each payment, not at the end of the campaign, so you can put the money to work as it comes in.
No. Viewers pay from any phone or computer with just a card. There is nothing for them to sign up for, which removes the most common reason people mean to give and never do.
Yes. Every payment is processed by Stripe, a PCI Level 1 certified payment processor, and card details are handled by Stripe rather than stored by PayIt2.
Yes. You can absorb the fees yourself, or add them at checkout so viewers cover them and you keep the full amount. You choose when you set up the page.
