Channel API for agencies

Updated August 7, 2026

Create and manage Fourthwall shops programmatically when you onboard many creators at once

The Channel API lets agencies create managed Fourthwall shops and add products through code, so you skip the manual per-shop setup. If you onboard creators in bulk, such as spinning up 100 shops at once, you can automate the whole flow instead of building each shop by hand. This feature is in beta.

note

The Channel API is a beta feature built for agencies with high-volume onboarding. If that describes your workflow, contact support@fourthwall.com to request access.

What the Channel API lets you do​

The Channel API is built for agencies that manage shops on behalf of many creators. Instead of setting up each shop through the dashboard, you make API calls to handle the work programmatically.

With the Channel API, you can:

  • Create managed shops. Provision new Fourthwall shops through the API without touching the dashboard for each one.
  • Create products. Add products to the shops you manage directly through API calls.
  • Onboard at scale. Set up large batches of shops in a single workflow, so agencies can bring on 100 creators as easily as one.

This removes the manual, per-shop setup that agencies would otherwise repeat for every creator they take on.

Who the Channel API is for​

The Channel API is designed for agencies that build and operate shops for many creators. It fits best when you onboard creators in high volume and want to automate shop and product creation rather than click through setup for each one.

If you manage a smaller number of shops, or you prefer a visual interface, the Partner Dashboard may be a better fit. The Partner Dashboard lets you view and manage multiple creator shops from one login without writing any code. Some agencies use both: the Channel API to provision shops in bulk, and the Partner Dashboard to manage them afterward.

How to get access​

The Channel API is in beta, so access is granted on request. To get set up, contact support@fourthwall.com and let the team know:

  • Your agency or partner name
  • The volume of shops you expect to onboard
  • Your Fourthwall contact, if you have one

Once your access is approved, you can authenticate and start making API calls.
