As a variety streamer that frequents America and Canada, sometimes Philippines, as secondary to my home in Tokyo, I attract an international (mostly English-speaking) audience.

Having an Amazon wishlist depending on the country, restricts you to that country, which prevents your audience from supporting you! Throne has been the answer to my woes here.

As part of my ongoing effort to review and share tools I find useful, I’m excited to introduce Throne. If you're looking for a platform for gifts for your streaming on Twitch or other platform, Throne stands out as the top platform for sending donations.

Feature-Packed

Here’s why Throne is the best choice for supporting streamers like me: IT JUST DOES IT ALL. These are my favorite features:

Cross Platform Gifting

With Throne, you're no longer restricted to one proprietary platform. You state how much the gift costs, add the link, it could be from Amazon, StreamElements, your favorite brand's storefront, and have them collected all on one page.

Throne’s customizable wishlist feature lets streamers create a list of desired items, giving the audience a more personal way to support beyond traditional monetary donations. This adds a personal touch and strengthens the connection between streamers and their fans.

Multi-Currency Support

Throne also supports multi-currency options, making it easier for viewers from around the world to contribute in their local currency. This global approach ensures that all supporters can participate without the hassle of currency conversion.

Currently Throne is supported in 91 countries as of writing this blog. You can check the full list here.

Seamless Integrations

Throne connects seamlessly with Twitch, allowing streamers to easily integrate their accounts and start receiving donations without hassle. This ensures that viewers can donate effortlessly without leaving the Twitch platform, enhancing the overall user experience.

Alternatively you can connecct Throne directly from your Twitch extensions in your Creator Dashboard.

Lower Fees

Compared to other donation platforms, Throne offers no transaction fees for their creators, and for the creators supporter's lower transaction fees, allowing streamers to retain a larger portion of the donations received and less strain on your community. This can make a significant difference, especially for smaller or newer streamers.

Here's a chart that compares the features and prices of some other popular gifting websites:

Real-Time Notifications

Throne provides real-time notifications for donations, which can be seamlessly integrated into a streamer's broadcast. This feature adds excitement to live streams and allows for immediate acknowledgment of supporters.

Similarly to StreamElements and StreamLabs, you can customize your gift giving notification to show live when something is purchased from your Throne page. I also recommend setting up Discord notifications as well!

Pretty Sweet Referral Program

You get 10% of the gift value as a reward from Throne (not from the gifter) up to a certain amount if the creator you refer gets a gift within 6 months of signing up! As of writing this email, it's up to $1,000.

In conclusion, Throne’s tailored features for content creators, combined with its user-friendly interface and strong integration with Twitch, make it an excellent choice for streamers looking to optimize their donation strategy and enhance their overall streaming experience. <3
