February Patch Notes

Link lists for your Fourthwall site

You can now add link lists to your Fourthwall site! This has been a top request for a while and we’re excited to see all the unique ways people use it.

Adding this is also a part of our larger initiative in 2024 to make the site designer (our website building tool) more powerful and flexible, so you can build unique experiences for your communities. Enjoy!

Buy Now, Pay Later: Pay for orders over 4 interest-free payment methods with Klarna and AfterPay

You can now let your customers pay for their orders over 4 interest-free payments through Klarna. You’ll still get paid instantly like you would for any order, but the payment processing cost for Klarna is higher at 6% + $.30 per transaction.

Because of the higher payment processing fees, we’ve disabled this option by default – so if you do want to offer Buy Now, Pay Later on your shop go to your Checkout Settings tab in the admin dashboard and check “Accept Buy Now, Pay Later”.

More checkout options for international customers 

While credit cards are the most popular payment method in the USA, in Europe many customers prefer to pay with local payment options (for example, GiroPay in Germany, iDeal in the Netherlands, and Blik in Poland). We’ve expanded our payment options to support 15+ new, popular local payment methods to give your international fans a smoother checkout experience.

Read more about our new checkout options on our new payment methods page.

Direct messages for memberships

You can now allow your members to send you direct messages, either for free or with a minimum tip requirement! This has been a top feature request since we launched our memberships platform and we’re so excited it’s finally launching. During the beta we saw some insane results, including some creators nearly doubling their income via messages.

To choose if you want to offer messages and tweak the settings, go to Memberships → Messages in your admin dashboard.

‍‍

Notifications for new members and new comments

You’ll now receive an email when a new member joins and when someone comments on your posts! You can choose to turn these notifications off, but we’ve found that nothing grows memberships faster than engaging with your community.

Product Reviews: Making it easier to find the perfect product for you and your community

Finding the right product for you and your audience can be tough. To make the search a little easier, we’ve added product reviews!

You can now read what other creators thought about products you’re considering in our product catalog, as well as review any products you’ve sampled. You can even leave reviews anonymously if you’d prefer not to have your name show up.

We’d love it if you took the time to review the products you’ve sampled to help out other creators who might be considering the same item!

Favoriting products: A better way to keep track of products you love or are considering

You can now favorite products in our product catalog! Add products to your favorites by clicking the new "Favorite product" button on the product page or by clicking the small heart in the top right of product cards. To view your favorites, click the heart icon in the top right of your admin dashboard!

‍Title and description generator

Need to figure out a great title and description for your product, but running into writer’s block? We’re here to help with our new AI-powered writing assistant, which will come up with a title and description for your product to spark your creativity.

Better control of email notifications for you and your supporters with new unsubscribe controls 

We’re making it easier for both you and your supporters to control the emails you receive with easy unsubscribe controls on all email notifications we send. The new unsubscribe controls also meet Gmail’s new email standards, meaning your emails should always land in your customer's inbox and avoid any risk of being placed into the promotions or spam box!

Manage your product pricing inside the mobile apps

You can now manage your selling prices inside our Fourthwall for Creators mobile app! This includes support for setting prices on different variants, strikethrough pricing, and profit calculation. We know many creators prefer to manage their shops via their phone, and this is another improvement towards giving you full management control from your phone.

Thank yous now supported via our API and webhooks

We launched API and webhook support for our Thank Yous tool! We love seeing the unique things you all are building with our API and we'll continue to expand support for API and webhooks to enable you to build custom tools and apps on top of the Fourthwall platform.
