Patch Notes: January 2023

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

Multiple image posts on Memberships

Create galleries of up to 50 images in a single post

Second level navigation (nested menus)

Creators can now create nested menus that make it easier for supporters to navigate your site. From your dashboard, head to Design & layout → Pages & navigation → “Add page or link”. Drag and drop links to nest them under a parent tab.

Duplicate, rename & delete theme

Creators can now duplicate themes, rename to distinguish between versions, and delete unused themes. Update your theme to the latest version to access this feature.

View all available print technique options in one listing

You can now view all available options for print techniques (DTG, DTFx, Embroidery, etc) when viewing a single product in the Fourthwall Catalog (vs separate listings for each technique).

Pinned Comments in Memberships

Creators can now pin one message per post in their members-only area.

Feature Improvements

Redesigned Theme Selection

Creators now have more options to manage their themes. Select “Options” under a theme to select from the following actions: Set as active theme, Duplicate, Rename, Reset to default, and Delete. You can also view the status of live/inactive themes and be notified when a theme update is available.
