Fourthwall?

NOT REALLYA prototype of the interface is possible, but the durable product depends on difficult systems beyond the UI. Build a safer adjacent workflow instead.

BUILD FIRST

A non-sensitive or read-only version of the core experience
A manual review step wherever correctness or trust matters
A narrow companion tool that removes a real piece of work

LEAVE FOR LATER

Regulated decisions, payments, or irreversible actions
Claims of correctness, compliance, or uptime that the MVP cannot support
Sensitive integrations until security, support, and auditability are ready

Fourthwall is a creator commerce platform enabling creators to sell print-on-demand merch, digital products, and memberships from a single branded storefront. Creators design products using an integrated product designer with auto-generated mockups, choose manufacturing methods (DTG, DTFx, embroidery, screen-printing), set their own margins, and order samples. The no-code website builder offers drag-and-drop customization, custom domains, and themes, with the option to upload custom code. Memberships support exclusive content, public posts, video hosting, DMs, and branded mobile apps. Integrations include YouTube Product Shelf, TikTok Shop, Twitch Gifting, IG/FB Shopping, and StreamElements purchase alerts. Additional features include promo codes, donations, self-fulfilled products, and multiple payment methods. A real-time dashboard tracks orders, products, and sales. The platform is po

RESEARCHED BUILD PROMPT

Give this to your coding agent.

Build a focused open-source replacement for Fourthwall's core creator commerce workflow: a web app where a creator can (1) design merch using a mockup generator — upload artwork and see it applied to t-shirt, hoodie, sticker, and mug templates with automatic mockup previews; (2) choose print-on-demand fulfillment via a POD API like Printful or Printify, setting sale price and margin per product; (3) launch a branded storefront with a no-code builder — pick a theme, arrange sections (hero, product grid, membership highlight, social links), and attach a custom domain; (4) sell paid monthly memberships with gated posts and member-only content; and (5) manage everything from a dashboard showing orders, sales, revenue, and fulfillment status. User-facing requirements: product designer with live mockup render, storefront builder with drag-and-drop sections and theme picker, membership management with public-preview/paywalled posts, promo-code creation, order dashboard. Technical requirements: React/Next.js frontend (Tailwind, shadcn/ui), Node/Express or Python/FastAPI backend, PostgreSQL with Prisma/SQLAlchemy, Stripe for payments and subscription billing, OAuth2 integrations for YouTube Product Shelf and Twitch product/membership gifting (read-only listing sync), webhooks from Stripe and POD APIs to update order status, S3 or Cloudflare R2 for artwork and mockup assets. Do not copy Fourthwall's brand name, logo, UI layout, or proprietary features. Deliberately out of scope: branded mobile apps, TikTok Shop, self-fulfilled product drops, hosted video monetization, StreamElements alerts, multi-language support, marketplace discovery. Deliver a README covering local setup (env vars, database migrations, Stripe and POD API key configuration), architecture overview, and important limitations (e.g., single-creator scope, webhook reliability, POD shipping costs, membership access-control edge cases).
