Follow the initial on-screen prompts to connect your account.

Step 3: Set up your profile (pre-onboarding)​

After signing up, you'll be asked for a few details:

  • What best describes you: Choose from the following:
    • Content creator
    • Business
    • Group
    • Artist
    • Individual
    • Agency
    • None of the above

  • Your name and Shop name: The name you enter here becomes your Creator name, which supporters see during checkout and on marketing emails. The Shop name becomes your Site title, which appears in browser tabs and search engine results. You can change both later in Settings > General.

Enter your name and preferred Shop name

  • Social channel (optional): The social platforms you can be reached on. Here, you'll select the primary platform where most of your audience engages with you (e.g., YouTube, Twitch, Instagram, etc.).

note

Note: Even if you're active in multiple places, pick the one where your audience engages most.

Click Continue, and you'll be directed to your Fourthwall dashboard. You can close your browser for now.

What supporters can see​

Fourthwall keeps your personal account information separate from what your supporters see. Here is how your profile fields work:

  • Creator name (set in Settings > General): Visible to supporters during checkout and on marketing emails. This is the public-facing name that represents you.
  • Site title (set in Settings > General): Appears in browser tabs and search engine results. It has a maximum of 70 characters.
  • Full name (set in Account settings > General): Used internally by Fourthwall only. Supporters cannot see your full name.
  • Account email (shown in Account settings > General): Used for login and email verification only. Supporters cannot see your account email address.
tip

Your Creator name is the only name supporters see. If you want to use a brand name, stage name, or alias, set it as your Creator name in Settings > General. Your full legal name stays private in your account settings.

Step 4: Verify your email​

Fourthwall will send a confirmation email. Click Verify email address to complete the setup.

Verify email address

This will reopen your Fourthwall dashboard, where you can continue onboarding, such as creating your first product and customizing the look of your Fourthwall site, and explore the other features we offer!
