Maximize Community Engagement with Fourthwall

The ultimate creator solution for interactive merchandise sales
Maximize Community Engagement with Fourthwall - The ultimate creator solution for interactive merchandise sales

As a content creator, creating merchandise is a fun and rewarding experience, especially when you get to see your community rocking your designs. With Fourthwall, you can create a shop that makes buying merch a fun and interactive experience for everyone. With features like Twitch Product Gifting, YouTube Merch Shelf, and personalized thank you videos, we give you tools to make every purchase a special moment for you and your supporters.

Stream Alerts

If you're a streamer, you know how exciting it can be to see new followers, subscribers, and donations come in. Did you know you can also set up alerts for your merch sales? This means you'll get a notification each time someone makes a purchase on your shop, so you can thank supporters live on stream.

Setting up stream alerts on Fourthwall is easy, and can be done through StreamElements or Streamlabs. You can choose graphics and sounds that feel authentic to you and your community, making each purchase feel like a celebration.

Not only will your supporters feel appreciated, but other community members will be reminded to check out your shop for themselves. It's a win-win!

Twitch Product Gifting

You’ve heard of gifting subs, but did you know that with Fourthwall you and Chat can gift merch? By enabling product gifting on your shop, you give your viewers the ability to gift merchandise to each other while you’re live – a proven way to increase sales, build hype, and engage with your audience. 

When a gift purchase is made, the FourthwallHQ bot will automatically kick in to run a giveaway in your chat. All your viewers have to do is type “!enter” for a chance to win the gifted item. This creates a fun and exciting experience for your audience, encouraging them to participate and interact with each other. The winner is then randomly selected by our bot and they can easily redeem their gift by clicking on your redemption link, entering in their details, and checking out for free. The cost of shipping is included in the amount paid by the gifter. 

YouTube Merch Shelf

Adding a YouTube Merch Shelf is a great way to promote your shop to your viewers. Enabling this feature not only makes it easy for you to display your products in the same place where you’re producing content, it also lets your viewers seamlessly browse and purchase your products without leaving YouTube. Easily build awareness of your shop across all of your videos and watch the sales roll in!

Thank You Videos

Want to show your appreciation and gratitude to your supporters? Use Fourthwall’s thank you video feature to easily record and share personalized videos!

With thank you videos, you can create a personal connection with each of your supporters and tell them how much you value their support. Whether you choose to send thank you videos for every purchase or as a limited-time promotion, your supporters are sure to appreciate receiving a personal video from you.

Some Fourthwall creators use this feature to incentivize early sales by offering exclusive thank you videos to supporters who purchase during the first week of a drop. This allows for building a fun sense of FOMO while recognizing and rewarding top supporters. 

The best part? It's super easy to send thank you videos using the Fourthwall Creator app. Simply record your video for each purchase made on your store and the app will send it directly to your supporter via email. With just a few clicks, you can make a huge impact on your supporters and make them feel appreciated.
