Giveaway links are a great way to send free products to specific community members or friends/family. They allow you to seamlessly gift an item from your shop to a specific recipient without having to collect the recipient’s details and address. Just share the link, and the recipient selects their size and color (if applicable) and inputs their details before checking out—no payment is needed.
Note: Giveaway links are limited to a single specific item (e.g., T-shirt A). Recipients can choose options like size and color, if available, but cannot select between different items or receive multiple products (e.g., T-shirt A and Hoodie Y).
How to create a giveaway link:
1. From your Fourthwall dashboard, head to the Promotions tab.
2. Click Create promotion > Giveaway links and this will take you to the giveaway creation page.
3. Next, select the product you’d like to give away by clicking “Select a product”. You can select one product per giveaway. The supporter will be able to select a specific size and color (if applicable).
4. Search for the product you want by scrolling down or entering the name of your item. Once you’ve selected the giveaway item, click “Confirm” as shown in the GIF below.
5. Enter the number of giveaway links you want to create. Each giveaway link is unique and can only be claimed once.
Important: You cannot modify a giveaway link once it has been created.
6. Once you’ve selected your item and entered the number of giveaways, click “Save” to generate your links. Remember, once you save your selections, you cannot edit your giveaway link details. If you have not set up your payment method, at this point you will be prompted to. For more information on how to set up your payment method, you can read this help article.
7. Your links will auto-generate and appear on the Giveaway Links page. From there, you can export them as a CSV file by clicking "Export links" or copy each one by clicking on the link symbol to the right of each link.
Note: Make sure a payment method has been added to your account or your shop has enough balance to cover the giveaway costs. Otherwise, the person claiming the giveaway will run into an error when checking out, or the order gets auto-cancelled if no funds are available to cover the cost. You can read more on how to add a payment method here. For more information about running a successful giveaway, check out the blog here.
FAQs
How much do giveaway links cost?
You will be charged for the cost of the item and shipping costs based on the redeemer’s shipping destination (the same as if you were doing a 100% off promo code). There are no additional costs for giveaway links.

Can I modify a giveaway link?

Giveaway links cannot be canceled once they have been shared.
Can I include multiple items in a giveaway link?
Currently, only one item per giveaway link is possible.
Will the recipient be able to select their size or color?
Yes! This is one of the benefits of giveaway links—you don’t have to worry about size, color, or shipping details. The recipient will select based on the options available for the giveaway item and enter their shipping details.
