# How Donably works

> Canonical HTML page: https://www.donably.com/en/howitworks

Donably is an online support fundraiser and donor community building tool that helps online content producers primarily with smaller amounts of support. Donations go directly to your own Barion account — not to an account inside our system — so you can access your balance virtually instantly, at a fraction of the cost of other platforms.

## Use your community's support

Donably helps bloggers, videographers, singers, copywriters, musicians, painters, and anyone who wants to focus on what they do best instead of searching for sponsors. Donably is designed to be as easy as possible for everyone to use.

## Quick and simple

To use the system, you must register on Donably.com, then open an online account with Barion, where donations will be forwarded to your personal account. After a quick registration, you can create your donation page, which you can link to in the content you publish. After entering a bit of data and just a few clicks you are ready to start collecting donations.

- No fees per transaction
- No monthly fees
- No registration fee

## Directly to the creators

What distinguishes Donably from other systems is that the donations you receive are not deposited on an account in our system, but are forwarded directly to your own Barion account (with the commission deducted). You have virtually instant access to your balance.

## No transaction fees, no monthly fees, no VAT

After deducting all costs for each provider, Donably leaves you about 90% of each donation on average. See the [comparison with Patreon, YouTube and PayPal Donate](https://www.donably.com/en/compare.md).
