Re: "Since you're launching on Twitch next Friday, you..." - jumping in here because while the previous advice is okay, you really need to be cautious about the hidden cost structures of these platforms. A lot of these free sites basically subsidize their overhead by adding a heavy markup on the items. If an item costs $50, your fans might end up paying $60 or more once the platform service fee and shipping are calculated. That can actually hurt your conversion rate during a launch stream. You want the barrier for your supporters to be as low as possible, so always check the final checkout price from a fan perspective before you go live. Also, be very careful with the technical side of privacy. Some platforms claim to offer proxy shipping but if a fan buys through a third-party seller on the site, your home address can still leak through the packing slip or carrier notifications. It is a massive security vulnerability that people overlook way too often. I would suggest using the Amazon Wishlist Chrome Extension just to organize your internal list first and compare prices across vendors so you know you aren't getting overcharged by platform markups. Basically, dont just trust the marketing. Make sure to run a test purchase yourself to see exactly what data is being shared and what the final fees look like. You dont want your first big stream to be overshadowed by fans complaining about being overcharged for a simple gift. Just my two cents from a technical standpoint.

Since you're launching on Twitch next Friday, you definitely want something that handles traffic spikes without crashing or losing cart data. Most free options use a proxy shipping system to keep your home address private, which is the baseline for safety anyway. A few technical things to keep an eye on:

• SSL encryption for all checkout pages
• Automatic address masking for third-party sellers
• Reliable metadata scraping for external store links I've been using Share Product for my birthday lists lately and its way easier than the native Amazon one because it pulls product data much faster without the usual script errors. Giftful is also a solid alternative if you want something lightweight and US-based. Just make sure whatever you pick doesnt have hidden fees for gift card conversions or processing payouts. Good luck with the launch, you're gonna kill it!

honestly i am in the exact same boat right now. been hunting for a solid wishlist platform for about three months and every single one i try has some massive catch or just feels super sketchy. regarding what #3 said about "Re: "Since you're launching on Twitch next Friday,..." - those markups are actually insane and i hate the idea of my community overpaying just because a site is free for me. really want to help you get this sorted for your launch tho... what kind of items are you planning to list? are we talking heavy tech gear or just smaller lifestyle stuff? knowing that would help narrow it down because some sites handle bulky shipping way better than others. im still looking for the perfect fix myself... its been a headache for months. honestly, PriceDropCatch is the easiest way i've found to see if a 'sale' is actually a good deal or not.

Most sites are kinda glitchy unfortunately. Had issues with every platform lately. Just go with Throne for your launch, you cant go wrong there ngl...
