Patch Notes: January 2023

Table of Contents

Introducing Patch Notes, a new monthly blog series to help you keep up with the latest product launches, updates, and improvements on Fourthwall. Keep reading to learn how we improved our platform for creators and their communities this month.

Improvements to Twitch Gifting

Choose how extra shipping costs are covered

Twitch Gifting is an amazing way to build hype and show love within your community. Now creators have more control over how any additional shipping costs above the average paid for by the gifter at the time of purchase are covered. In the Twitch Gifting app settings page, you can choose whether these costs are covered:

  • By the gift recipient 
  • By you 
  • By you, but only up to a certain amount, with any remainder covered by the recipient

Redo giveaways

You can now easily identify and choose to redo giveaways on gifts that a) do not have a winner or b) have a winner, but have not been redeemed. 

  • Only unredeemed gifts or gifts without a winner can be selected for redo. 
  • Redo is only active when you are live and the FourthwallHQ bot is connected and can run the giveaway in chat.
  • If an unredeemed gift is selected for a redo, the original winner will no longer be able to redeem the gift.
  • When the gift is redeemed, you will notice the negative profit hit your balance – don’t be alarmed, this is just a delayed adjustment from the profit earned at the time of the gift purchase.

New features

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to use Fourthwall?

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:

  • Products from our product catalog. All products in our product catalog have a publicly listed flat fee, which gets deducted from the selling price you set. There are no extra percentages/margins. You keep 100% of profits.
  • Products you ship yourself. No fee (0% fee)
  • Digital products. 3% flat fee
  • Subscription memberships. 5% flat fee

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.

How much money do I make on sales from the Fourthwall catalog?

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.

Does Fourthwall ship worldwide?

Yes! Fourthwall works with manufacturing & fulfillment partners around the globe in the US, UK, EU, Canada, Mexico, Australia, and Japan.

Shipping rates are dynamically determined by the size of package and destination. We work with most major carriers and pass through the true cost of shipping. That means that you can offer low-cost, fast shipping to your fans. Most items have a delivery window of 5-8 days.

Be sure to browse our product catalog to find products that are fulfilled out of your target regions to provide the fastest & cheapest shipping for your community.

Does Fourthwall handle sales tax?

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.

That way you can focus on designing products and promoting your shop, not taxes.

Can I connect a custom domain to Fourthwall?

Yes. You can connect a custom domain or subdomain on Fourthwall. Learn More.

Does Fourthwall offer artwork & design support?

If you need help finding an artist or designer, check out our design community.

This is a vetted network of exceptional designers that can help you make great quality designs for your audience. We also recommend tools like Canva or Kittl.

Does Fourthwall provide customer support for my orders?

Yes. For any product from our product catalog, we'll handle all customer support for you.

From answering general order questions to making address changes, our team is there to ensure that your buyers are treated with the same level of care that you would personally give them. We have a 12-hour or less average reply time, including nights and weekends.

For any items that you source on your own and ship from home, however, you'll need to do customer support.

Can you show me examples of storefronts on Fourthwall?

Yes! Over 200,000 sellers use Fourthwall to power their storefronts. This includes creators, podcasters, artists, musicians, startups, non-profits, and more.
