# ZeroCut > Create a stream-ready donation page with 0% platform fees, OBS alerts, Stripe and PayPal payments, Discord donor roles, and revenue analytics. - Canonical page: https://zerocut.gg/ - Markdown version: https://zerocut.gg/index.md ## What ZeroCut is ZeroCut is a donation and revenue platform for streamers, content creators, developers, and other online creators. A creator gets a customizable public donation page, direct Stripe and PayPal payments, browser-source alerts for streaming software, Discord donor tools, and analytics that connect visits, live sessions, and donations. ZeroCut charges no percentage platform fee on donations. Standard payment-processing fees from Stripe or PayPal can still apply. Money is processed by the connected provider rather than being held by ZeroCut. ## Core product - **Donation pages:** A public page at `zerocut.gg/{handle}` with preset or custom amounts, optional donor messages, social links, donation goals, and creator branding. - **Payments:** Stripe and PayPal support, including card payments and provider-supported wallets such as Apple Pay and Google Pay. Availability depends on the creator's payment provider and country. - **Stream alerts:** Browser-source overlays for OBS, Streamlabs, TikTok Studio, and similar broadcasting tools. Creators can configure sounds, images, text, and alert tiers. - **Revenue analytics:** Donation totals, top donors, countries, activity, live-session revenue, page traffic, conversion data, and real-time visitor activity. - **Discord integration:** Donation notifications, donor-to-Discord mapping, automatic roles, leaderboards, and configurable bot behavior. - **Developer tools:** REST API access, API keys, outgoing webhooks, and embeddable donation, follower, leaderboard, goal, and donation-total widgets. - **Branding:** Theme and color controls, custom messages and amounts, optional removal of ZeroCut branding, and custom domains. ## Pricing ZeroCut uses lifetime plans rather than a recurring platform subscription: - **Basic — $20 lifetime:** 0% platform fees, unlimited donations, a standard donation page, basic stream alerts, and Stripe and PayPal support. - **Premium — $50 lifetime:** Everything in Basic plus broader customization, removable ZeroCut branding, Discord webhooks and automation, advanced analytics, and priority support. - **Trial:** The seven-day trial begins after the creator receives their first donation. No credit card is required to start. - **Custom domains:** A separately billed monthly add-on because domain routing, DNS, and certificates have recurring infrastructure costs. Prices and plan details can change. Confirm current terms on the canonical website before making a purchase. ## How setup works 1. Sign in and choose a public handle. 2. Connect Stripe or PayPal through the provider's authorization flow. 3. Customize the donation page, branding, defaults, alerts, and integrations. 4. Share the public donation link in stream panels, video descriptions, social bios, Discord, a website, or anywhere else. 5. Add optional browser-source overlay URLs to broadcasting software and configure Discord, webhooks, embeds, or API access as needed. ## Frequently asked questions ### Really? 0% fees? Yes. ZeroCut does not take a cut. Stripe or PayPal still charge their normal processing fees, but we add $0 on top. ### How do I get paid? Payouts are handled directly through Stripe or PayPal. Money goes straight to your account, usually instantly or within a standard rolling window depending on the provider. ### What is the $50 fee for? Premium is for creators who want the nicer setup: remove ZeroCut branding, use Discord integrations, and send webhooks. It is $50 once, not another monthly bill. Custom domains stay monthly because domains and DNS cost us money every month too. ### Can I use this on Twitch/YouTube/TikTok? Yes. Put the link in Twitch panels, YouTube descriptions, TikTok bio, Discord, X, or anywhere else. Alerts use browser source URLs, so they work in OBS, Streamlabs, TikTok Studio, and similar broadcasting tools. ### Is my data secure? We do not store card numbers. Stripe and PayPal process payments directly, and sensitive app data is encrypted where it needs to be. ### I already use Streamlabs. Can I migrate my donors? Yes. Switch your panel link / bio link to your new ZeroCut page whenever you're ready — your existing donors will just see a new, faster donation page. Past donation history stays with Streamlabs; from day one with ZeroCut, every new dollar is yours. ### Do my fans need to sign up to donate? No. Supporters open your page, tap an amount, pay with card / Apple Pay / Google Pay / PayPal — done. No account, no password, no friction. ### Do I need to handle taxes? Yes. The money goes from Stripe or PayPal to you, so tax reporting is between you, the processor, and your local tax authority. ZeroCut never holds the money, so we do not issue tax forms for donations. ### What if I cancel or stop using ZeroCut? Nothing bad. Your ZeroCut plan is a one-time purchase, not a subscription — there's nothing to cancel. Your donation page stays up as long as your account exists. You can disable it or export your data anytime. ### Is this better than Ko-fi or Buy Me a Coffee? For live donations, yes. ZeroCut has OBS alerts, Discord integrations, and stream-to-revenue analytics. Ko-fi and Buy Me a Coffee do more for shops and memberships. If the job is taking donations without losing 5%, ZeroCut is the sharper tool. ## Important links - [Documentation](https://zerocut.gg/docs.md) - [Live product demo](https://zerocut.gg/demo.md) - [Changelog](https://zerocut.gg/changelog.md) - [Contact](https://zerocut.gg/contact.md) - [Full AI-readable website corpus](https://zerocut.gg/llms-full.txt)
