Enable donations on your site

Easily enable donations on your homepage, checkout, or custom pages. No platform fees required

Donations let fans support your content directly on your homepage, during checkout, or on any custom page of your Fourthwall site. We don't take a cut; you keep 100% of donations (minus standard credit card fees).

Once enabled, the donation section can appear in:

  • Your home page layout
  • The checkout flow
  • Any custom page via the Site design

Step 1: Go to Site design > Layout > Home.

Step 2: Click on the + Add page section link on the left and select Donations under "Others."

Custom fields limitation on Donation forms​

You can't add or modify fields, such as phone numbers or addresses, on Donation forms at this time. Only preset amounts and basic information are supported. Consider looking into third-party tools that may offer a better solution.

While this might be a limitation for some, we’re always listening to creator feedback and will use it to improve features over time!
