What is Twitch Gifting?

Twitch Gifting lets you open up a whole new world of possibilities for your chat. They can now gift any product (your merch, your plushies, your memberships) on your site to other viewers via a random giveaway while you're streaming, which is a powerful way to create a sense of community and foster greater engagement. Not to mention, it's a proven strategy to increase sales, as it encourages viewers to make purchases on the spot, while they're already engaged with your content.

When a gift is purchased, the FourthwallHQ bot will automatically kick in to run a giveaway in your chat. This means that all your viewers have the chance to win the gifted item, simply by typing "!enter" into the chat. This creates a fun and exciting experience for your audience, encouraging them to participate and interact with each other, all while potentially winning some amazing prizes.

The winner is then randomly selected by our bot and can easily redeem their gift by clicking on your redemption link, entering their details, and checking out. The best part? The cost of shipping is included in the amount paid by the gifter, so there's no additional cost for the lucky winner.

By enabling Twitch gifting on your shop, you can offer your viewers a unique and fun way to support your stream and interact with each other. So why not give it a try and see how it can help take your stream to the next level?
