# Product Sourcing FAQs

Fourthwall's product catalog includes far more than apparel — blankets, mugs, backpacks, and dozens of other items are available, plus additional products not listed publicly. If the product you want is not in the catalog, you can contact Fourthwall support to request custom sourcing. Creators can also sell their own products through self-fulfillment or Fourthwall's 3PL service.

## Am I limited to only apparel?

No. There is a wide variety of products available in the [Fourthwall product catalog](https://fourthwall.com/products), including blankets, mugs, backpacks, and many more. There are also dozens of products available that are not currently listed publicly. If you have a product idea that is not visible in the catalog, contact support — Fourthwall regularly reviews requests to expand the catalog and can often suggest similar items or explore custom sourcing options.

## Can Fourthwall source any product I request?

Fourthwall can source nearly any product, but sourcing capabilities are stronger in certain categories than others. If a requested product is not feasible through Fourthwall's primary supplier network, the team can often connect you with a partner who can help fulfill the request. Send product sourcing inquiries to [support@fourthwall.com](mailto:support@fourthwall.com).

## What if the product I want is not in the catalog?

If you are looking for a product that is not listed in the catalog — including products from Fourthwall's fulfillment partners — contact [support@fourthwall.com](mailto:support@fourthwall.com). Fourthwall reviews catalog expansion requests regularly and can often suggest alternatives already in the catalog or explore custom sourcing if the volume justifies it.

## What are Fourthwall's Minimum Order Quantities (MOQ)?

Fourthwall works with manufacturers to keep MOQs as low as possible, but MOQ requirements vary by product category. MOQs exist because manufacturers require a baseline production run to cover setup costs. The exact minimums depend on the product type, materials, and whether custom specifications are involved. Contact [support@fourthwall.com](mailto:support@fourthwall.com) with the specific product you are interested in to get a current MOQ figure — Fourthwall will always work to minimize the requirement where possible.

## Does Fourthwall offer ethically sourced or vegan products?

Yes. Fourthwall has sourced ethically made and vegan products and can collaborate with creators to meet specific ethical sourcing requirements. If your audience or brand values require particular sourcing standards — Fair Trade, organic materials, cruelty-free production, or vegan certification — contact support to discuss options.

## Does Fourthwall offer products sourced in the USA?

Yes, depending on the product. Different products are sourced from different locations globally. USA-sourced products are available for some categories. Contact [support@fourthwall.com](mailto:support@fourthwall.com) with your specific product request to confirm whether a USA-sourced option is available.

## Can I sell my own products on my Fourthwall site?

Yes. You can sell products you already own or manufacture through two methods:

### Self-fulfillment

You list the products on your Fourthwall shop and ship orders directly from your own location. You are responsible for inventory management, packing, and shipping. This is fully supported for any product you own and want to sell.

### Fourthwall 3PL (Third-Party Logistics)

You ship your inventory to Fourthwall's fulfillment center, and Fourthwall handles picking, packing, and shipping orders to your supporters on your behalf. This removes the day-to-day logistics burden while keeping your products listed alongside Fourthwall catalog items. For details on preparing and sending products to the fulfillment center, see [Sending Products to Fourthwall's Fulfillment Center](/create-and-sell-products/best-practices/send-products-to-fulfillment-center).

For a complete guide to setting up self-fulfillment, see [How to Sell Your Own Products](/create-and-sell-products/how-to-guides/sell-your-own-products).

## Troubleshooting & Common Issues

**Problem:** Product requested is not available and no similar option exists in the catalog
**Solution:** Email [support@fourthwall.com](mailto:support@fourthwall.com) with the product name, description, and the quantity you would need. Fourthwall reviews sourcing requests regularly and will respond with options or alternatives.

**Problem:** MOQ requirement is higher than expected sales volume
**Solution:** For lower-volume products, Print-On-Demand is a better fit since it has no minimum requirements. If a product is only available as MOQ and the minimum is too high, discuss the situation with support — there may be ways to reduce the minimum or identify a similar POD-compatible product.

**Problem:** Uncertainty about whether a self-supplied product meets Fourthwall's quality or content standards
**Solution:** Contact support before listing the product to confirm it is eligible for sale on the platform. Fourthwall's [community guidelines](/frequently-asked-questions/legal-and-compliance/community-guidelines) apply to all products regardless of whether they are sourced from the Fourthwall catalog or brought by the creator.
