How to Create a Crypto Donation Link (No KYC, Free)
Asking supporters to copy a long wallet address, pick the right network, and paste it correctly is where most crypto donations quietly fail — one wrong character and the funds are gone for good. A donation link solves that problem: one short, shareable URL that opens a ready-made payment screen, so supporters just choose an amount, pay, and you receive it directly in your own wallet.
What is a crypto donation link?
A crypto donation link is a unique, personal URL generated from your VisualPay account. Anyone who opens it sees a simple payment screen — no wallet address to copy, no network to double-check, no chance of sending funds to the wrong chain by mistake. They pick a coin, enter an amount (or choose one you've suggested), and pay directly from their own wallet.
Unlike sharing a raw wallet address, a donation link removes the two most common failure points: pasting the wrong address, and sending on the wrong network.
Who uses a donation link?
- Content creators and streamers who want a simple way for their audience to support them, without routing tips through a platform that takes a cut
- Open-source maintainers who want to accept support for a project without setting up a full commerce integration
- Bloggers and newsletter writers who want a "buy me a coffee"-style link, but settled directly to their own wallet in crypto
- Community organizers and small nonprofits who want a transparent, on-chain way to collect support without a bank account or payment processor approval
How to create your donation link
- Sign in to your VisualPay account and open Donate → Settings in your dashboard — that is where you create and manage your public donation link.
- Generate your unique donation link — it's tied to your account and ready to use immediately.
- Choose which coins and networks you want to accept on that link (the same coins your merchant already supports: USDT, USDC, ETH, BNB, SOL and TON).
- Copy the link and share it anywhere: your social media bio, a blog post, a video description, or a community post.
- When a supporter opens the link, pays, and the transaction confirms, the funds settle directly to your own wallet — the same non-custodial settlement VisualPay uses for regular merchant transactions.
There's no application process and no waiting period to start using it — it's available as soon as your account is set up.
Why a donation link works better than sharing a wallet address
| Donation Link | Raw Wallet Address | |
|---|---|---|
| Risk of wrong network | Low — the link presents supported networks clearly | High — easy to send on the wrong chain by mistake |
| Ease of use for supporters | One click, pick amount, pay | Copy address, open wallet, paste, verify, send |
| Multiple coins accepted | Yes, one link covers all supported coins | Requires sharing a separate address per coin/network |
| Shareable format | A single clean URL for bio links, posts, and videos | A long string that's awkward to post publicly |
| Where funds land | Directly in your own wallet, non-custodially | Directly in your own wallet, non-custodially |
Where to share your donation link
A donation link is only useful if people actually see it. The most common places creators and communities place theirs:
- Social media bio (X/Twitter, Instagram, TikTok)
- Telegram channel description or pinned post
- Blog author bio or end-of-post call to action
- YouTube or video descriptions
- README file for an open-source project
- Community server description (Discord, Telegram groups)

A crypto donation link is a unique URL, generated from your VisualPay account, that opens a payment screen where supporters can send you a donation directly in crypto without needing your wallet address.

Your donation link can accept any of the coins and networks your VisualPay account supports, including USDT, USDC, ETH, BNB, SOL and TON.
