Customize key sections of your checkout page, including supporter messages, donations, email consent, and style

Your checkout page automatically matches the style of your site to maintain a cohesive experience. While checkout customization is limited for security reasons, you can still adjust several sections to personalize the experience for your supporters.

In this article, we'll cover:

  • How to access checkout page settings
  • Skin (dark, light, or auto mode)
  • Supporter message
  • Donation
  • Email marketing campaign

Access checkout page settings​

  1. From your Fourthwall dashboard, go to Site design > Layout.

  2. Select Checkout from the dropdown menu.

You can set the checkout skin to:

  • Light mode
  • Dark mode

Supporter message​

The Supporter message section gives fans a space to share a note with you during checkout. This can be a fun way to interact, and it's perfect for sending thank-you videos or notes later.

Choose how the section appears to supporters:

  • Auto (recommended): Fourthwall determines the best display based on context.
  • Minimized: The section appears collapsed. Supporters can expand it.
  • Expanded: The section appears open by default.
  • Hidden: The section does not appear at checkout.

To fully disable, uncheck Enable supporter message.

Editable text fields:

  • Supporter message heading. The call to action, e.g., "Leave a message for [Shop Name]".
  • Supporter nickname placeholder. The placeholder text for the nickname/handle field.
  • Supporter message placeholder. The placeholder text for the message box, e.g., "Leave a message or ask a question".

The checkout page includes an email marketing consent box beneath the email field. Depending on local regulations, this may appear as:

  • Opt-in. box is unchecked by default, supporter checks to consent.
