I'm finally starting my Twitch channel next week and honestly I'm kind of freaking out about the tech side of things. I've been looking for a way to let people send gifts without like, giving out my home address to the whole internet lol. I saw Throne and Wishtender mentioned a lot but honestly I'm so confused because I heard Wishtender was having major issues with Stripe or something and Throne looks cool but is it actually free? I dont have a budget for subscriptions right now since I'm just starting out in the UK.
- completely free to set up
- keeps my address private
- lets me add stuff from any site
- works for UK shipping
Is there anything else that actually works right now? I dont want to set something up and then have it break immediately...

Saw this earlier and just wanted to jump in because I was in the same boat recently. Agreeing with the first reply... avoid Wishtender for now because that Stripe situation is still a massive headache. If youre worried about costs, Throne is actually free for the creator. I'm satisfied with it because:
- The fees are paid by the person buying the gift, not you.
- It works perfectly with UK retailers like Amazon UK.
- Your address is 100% hidden which was my biggest fear. One tip tho... sometimes viewers find it annoying to use specific wishlist sites or they just want to see the product details directly. I found that Share Product is a lifesaver if you want to share your list with people who don't have an Amazon account or just want a clean link to see what you need. It makes the whole process way smoother when you are just starting out. Good luck with the first stream!

Omgg congrats on the Twitch launch!! You're gonna do amazing!! I was so paranoid about my address too when I started out, it's totally normal to freak out lol. Honestly, forget about Wishtender for now, they've been having massive payment issues and it's just not worth the stress right now. Throne is literally the best option and it's totally free for creators! I've used it here in the UK for a while and it works perfectly.
- super easy to set up
- keeps your house address 100% hidden
- you can add stuff from basically any store like Amazon or Etsy
- no monthly sub fees at all I love it because they handle the shipping for you so you never have to worry about weirdos finding where you live. It's fantastic for peace of mind and feels really secure. Good luck with the first stream next week!!
