How does Throne work?

Throne is a free wishlist platform for creators. Add gifts from any store, share your link, and fans gift you without ever seeing your address.

Quick answer: Throne is a wishlist platform for creators. Add gifts from any store, share your link, and fans can send you gifts without ever seeing your address. Throne is free for creators, protects you against chargebacks, and pays you directly to your bank in 130+ countries. Fans from 170+ countries send gifts on Throne.

How does Throne work for creators?

  1. Create your account and add your delivery details. Your real name and address stay private. They're only used to ship your gifts and are never visible to fans.

  2. Add items to your wishlist from the Gift Store or anywhere else online. You can also add Cash Gifts for items that don't have a link.

  3. Share your wishlist link with your community: in your social bios, on stream, or through integrations.

  4. When someone sends a gift, we email you. Throne orders the item from the merchant and it ships straight to you. For payout items, the funds land in your Throne Balance instead so you can order it yourself.

  5. Follow everything from your Orders dashboard, and send a thank you message if you'd like.

How does Throne work for fans?

  1. Open the creator's Throne link and pick a gift from their wishlist.

  2. Add a gift message if you'd like, or gift anonymously. Your payment details are never shared with the creator, and their address is never shared with you.

  3. Check out. You don't need a Throne account. Check out as a guest, or create an account to track your orders in one place.

  4. Throne handles the ordering and delivery from there. You'll get an email confirmation, and maybe a thank you message from the creator.

Buying more than one gift? Add as many as you like to your cart, as long as they're all for the same creator. Gifting two different creators means checking out separately for each one, and you can leave a message on every item.

Can fans add a gift message?

Yes. Select "Add Gift Message" at checkout. You choose whether it shows publicly. Public messages can appear as an alert if the creator is livestreaming with alerts set up.

Why use Throne instead of a store wishlist?

Regular retail wishlists weren't built for creators. Throne was:

  • Free for creators. Creators pay no checkout fees on Throne. There are no sign-up fees, subscriptions, or premium tiers. Fans pay a fee at checkout; see "What fees are paid at checkout?"

  • Chargeback protection. If a fan disputes a gift, Throne handles it and you never pay anything back.

  • Direct bank payouts in 130+ countries, in local currency in most of them.

  • Private by default. Your address is never visible to gifters. Privacy is the foundation, not a feature.

  • Gifts from anywhere. Fans can gift from 170+ countries, with no regional marketplace limits.

  • Any store. Add items from any store, plus Cash Gifts and digital items. You're not tied to one retailer.

  • Nothing gets lost. If an item becomes unavailable, the funds move to your Throne Balance instead of disappearing.
