CashApp Donation Alerts for Streamers
Accept CashApp donations and tips with zero transaction fees and show automatic on-stream alerts on your Twitch, YouTube, or Kick stream. No manual tracking needed.
TL;DR: StreamAlert detects CashApp payments by securely parsing Gmail notification emails via OAuth 2.0, then triggers real-time on-stream tip alerts through Streamlabs, StreamElements, or StreamAlert's own custom widget URL. Zero transaction fees, 5-minute setup, 7-day free trial.
How It Works
Connect your Gmail
StreamAlert securely connects to the Gmail account where you receive CashApp payment notifications. We use OAuth 2.0 — the same security standard Google uses.
Receive a CashApp payment
Share your $cashtag with viewers. When someone sends you money, CashApp emails you a notification.
Alert fires automatically
StreamAlert parses the payment email in real time and triggers an on-stream alert with the sender name and amount — displayed via Streamlabs, StreamElements, or StreamAlert's custom widget URL.
Why Use CashApp with StreamAlert?
Zero Transaction Fees
CashApp charges zero fees on personal payments. StreamAlert detects these fee-free payments via Gmail parsing, so streamers keep 100% of every donation without any platform cut.
Instant Detection
StreamAlert parses CashApp notification emails within seconds of payment arrival. The Gmail OAuth connection enables real-time detection — no polling, no manual refreshing, no missed donations.
Works with OBS
StreamAlert forwards CashApp alerts to Streamlabs, StreamElements, or its own custom widget URL. Each option works as a browser source in OBS, SLOBS, or any broadcasting software that supports overlays.
Fully Customizable
StreamAlert lets streamers upload custom sounds, images, GIFs, and configure colors and fonts. Each CashApp alert can match the streamer's brand identity for a professional on-screen experience.
