How to Gift a Membership to a Fan

Create gift options fans can buy for others, and send a free membership to anyone yourself.

Gifting lets fans buy a membership for someone else, and lets you send a free membership to a fan, a friend, or anyone you want to welcome into your channel. First you create gift options in your Settings, then gifts are sent from your channel page.

ℹ️ Note: Once you've created a gift option, anyone who visits your channel sees a Gift a Membership button, whether they're a member or not.
