YouTube producers can now ask viewers for donations via Google Wallet, according to a report from Android Police.

Google, which owns YouTube, takes a percentage of each donation to process the transaction, according to the report. Transaction fees vary by location. In the U.S., the fee is 5 percent plus 21 cents. For now, the donation feature is only available in Australia, Japan, Mexico and the U.S.
