If you are a YouTuber who is looking for a way to raise donations online, consider using PeachPay. This is a free, and user-friendly payment platform that accepts payment of cards, Stripe, Coinbase, and low fee ACH bank transfer. You get a very own donation web page called Pay Me page, hosted on the SSL-enabled servers of PeachPay for free.
Now, the question is how to set up donations on youtube? The below mentioned are the steps to create your own Pay Me page on PeachPay to start accepting YouTube donations or payments for online streaming.
Step 1 – Create an account on PeachPay. Creating a PeachPay account takes 1 minute and only requires an email address. Go to PeachPay.me and click signup on the top right.
Fill in the form with your email address and password. You can use your own name for a business name if it is a personal account.
Step 2 – Link with your payment processor.
A payment processor lets you accept payments and then deposit the money into your bank account. PeachPay is supporting Stripe and Coinbase. Stripe allows you to accept credit card payments and direct bank transfers (ACH) and Coinbase allows you to accept different cryptocurrencies.
Step 3 – Create your Pay Me page
You may use the Pay Me page to accept donations for, for example, YouTube content creation, designing, and selling online. You can also use it through your website to sell subscriptions for a blog or to sell digital media like music.
Your Pay Me page looks like – https://www.peachpay.me/yourcustomlabel
