AIU Creator Mall Guide
How to get your first Fourthwall product live.
Use any storefront you want. Fourthwall is just one beginner-friendly option for creators who want a simple merch shop and need one product ready for the AIU Creator Mall.
Your goal is simple.
To get added to the AIU Creator Mall, you do not need a fully customized empire yet. You only need the basics below.
One product live
Your store live
One Featured Item Image URL
Your Mall URL / store URL
Fourthwall setup walkthrough
A quick path from blank shop to one live product.
Enter your creator or project name
Fourthwall will ask for your creator or project name and may ask for socials. You can change or edit this information later.
Social links are not required to continue. You only need to enter a name.
Go to the setup page
After signing up, Fourthwall will take you to a setup page showing steps for completing your store.
You do not need to complete every suggested setup step right away. For the AIU Creator Mall, you only need the parts that let you create your first product and make your store live.
Create your first product
Follow the setup step to create your first product. Fourthwall’s product builder will walk you through selecting a product, uploading your artwork, and placing the artwork on the product.
Once the product looks good, continue toward publishing it.
Add a product name and description
Fourthwall will ask you to add a product name and description before publishing. Keep this simple. You can use AI to help write the description if you want.
Once the name and description are added, publish the item. Fourthwall may still show additional setup steps after this, but that is okay.
Customize your store
Next, follow the setup step to customize your store. Fourthwall may offer several customization options, but you do not need to fully customize everything right now.
To get your store live, the important part is selecting a store template. After selecting a template, the store builder should show your creator/project name at the top and your first product displayed for sale.
Make your store live
At the top of the store builder, choose the option to make your store live. You may be able to publish immediately or select a date for the store to go live.
Once your store is live and your product is visible, you have what you need for the AIU Creator Mall, even if Fourthwall’s dashboard still shows other optional setup steps.
Get your Mall URL and Featured Item Image URL
Once your store is live, grab your Mall URL. For most creators, this will simply be your store homepage or storefront link.
Then open the product you want shown in your mall window and copy the Featured Item Image URL. This is the direct image address the mall will display in your shop window.
Send everything to Koa-Sama
To be added to the AIU Creator Mall, DM Koa-Sama with your creator, persona, or project name, your Mall URL, and the Featured Item Image URL for your mall window.
If you later remove that item from your store or want to feature something else, reach out so your Featured Item Image URL can be updated.
That is all we need.
Friendly note about creator stores
The AIU Creator Mall is a place to help people discover and support AIU creators, but each creator shop is still owned and managed by that creator.
AIU is linking to your storefront, not running your store.
Print-on-demand storefronts like Fourthwall will help you set up details like product pricing, shipping, fulfillment, taxes, customer support, and store settings. Those details are handled through your storefront platform and/or by you as the shop owner, not by AIU.
We are just helping visitors find your merch and click through to support you directly.
