Over the past few weeks we've been rolling out a new and improved product designer. While the rollout hasn't been completely smooth (we lost iPad support and we've seen a few bugs pop up), this is an important upgrade that will allow us to launch new products faster with even more unique and interesting customization options. You shouldn't notice too much of a difference, the overall interface is similar, but it should feel faster and smoother.
A few of the many improvements the new product design experience includes:
Check out this example of one of the cool upgrades in the new product designer, the ability to change embroidery thread colors and preview how the changes look live:
We expanded our open API and webhooks in a big way over the last month, with the addition of support for product creation and updating, memberships, donations, and giveaways. You can check out the updates at docs.fourthwall.dev!
Highlight your memberships content with our new Recent Posts section, which displays your three most recent posts on your homepage. Logged-in members will be able to see the actual posts while anyone who isn’t logged in as a member will see a preview.
This should improve the experience for your members, making it faster for them to get to new posts, as well as helping you promote your memberships by showing non-members what they’re missing.
If you use ShipStation to ship orders you’re handling yourself, we now have a ShipStation app! The app syncs your ShipStation account to your Fourthwall shop so that orders you receive will automatically show up in ShipStation for you to ship, and then tracking information from your ShipStation shipments is automatically synced back to Fourthwall to keep your supporters updated on their order status.
When you update digital products you now have the ability to send the new file out to all your past buyers! This is a great way to send out updates or fixes quickly.
Last month we announced our new Agency Dashboard – which was designed to make it easy to manage lots of Fourthwall sites at once (for agencies, managers, designers, and others who work with lots of creators). We were calling this the Partner Dashboard, but it was creating some confusion with our creator partners and so we've decided to change the name to the Agency Dashboard going forward.
In September we shipped a few new improvements to the dashboard:
1. We added an analytics tab! You can now see analytics from all the Fourthwall sites you manage in a single place.
2. We added a small graph to the Websites tab that shows you your profit over the last 30 days, to make it easier to scan the sites you manage and see how they’ve been doing.
3. You can now add a payout bank account to your Partner Dashboard, which can then be used as the default payout account for all the sites you create.
4. Your logo now shows up in the top left of your dashboard and you can also upload a dedicated square logo which will show up in the Teams tab of sites you manage
We noticed that 36% of all Fourthwall sites didn’t have favicons uploaded (the tiny icon that appears next to the name in tabs), meaning we had to use a generic icon that wasn’t personalized.
The memberships team saw an opportunity to improve the experience and built out a new default system that uses the first letter of your site’s name as well as its primary color to create a semi-personalized favicon! Even though the membership team built this, it works across ecommerce and memberships.
You can now set your site to Live or Coming Soon directly from the Android and iOS apps! We know many of you prefer to manage your site through our mobile apps and this functionality should make that even easier.
You can now view your sample budget in the iOS app – another step towards making your site fully manageable via the mobile apps.
That's a wrap for the October Patch Notes! While we shipped a lot of goodness this month, I can't tell you how excited I am for what's still to come in Q4. Some really exciting releases are comig up soon. Thanks for your support and, as always, please let us know if you have any questions or requests via X/Twitter @FourthwallHQ or via the Fourthwall Discord!
There are no monthly fees, no upfront costs, and no contracts to use Fourthwall. You set your prices and choose your own margins. Here is how our pricing and splits work when you sell:
Additionally, all US-based credit card transactions have an added 2.9% + $0.30 payment processing fee (same as Shopify). Fees vary for PayPal and other providers. Learn more.
Product costs are listed directly in our product catalog.
If a t-shirt is listed in our catalog at a $10 cost, we will automatically deduct that amount from your profits whenever you make a sale. You can sell products for any price you want.
For example, if you sell the shirt for $22, you'll make $12 in profit on each unit sold. If you sell it for $50, then you'll make $40 in profit on each unit sold.

Fourthwall operates as the "Merchant of Record", which means that we're responsible for handling all sales taxes. This includes nexus registration, collecting sales tax, and remitting this to US states & other countries.
