The list strangers are allowed to see
A streamer wants to improve their setup and puts the link under their video. The
viewers want to chip in; the streamer wants to give them neither a name nor an address. This is the one
occasion on this site where the link does not go to invited guests but to everybody.

The list itself
Nine wishes, three of them more than once
This is the page linked under the video. The states sit on every wish, so that nobody
buys something somebody else has already taken care of.
| Wish | Quantity | Price | State |
| Large-diaphragm microphone | 1 | 389.00 € | Gifted |
| Audio interface, 2 channels | 1 | 229.00 € | Currently reserved |
| Microphone arm | 1 | 119.00 € | Available |
| Softbox with stand | 2 | 94.00 € each | 1 of 2 available |
| Acoustic panel | 8 | 39.00 € each | 5 of 8 available |
| Stream deck | 1 | 179.00 € | Available |
| Capture card | 1 | 219.00 € | Available |
| Dual monitor arm | 1 | 149.00 € | Currently reserved |
| Door soundproofing | 1 | not in this shop | Already taken on |
The last row is the case a plain cart cannot picture: the soundproofing comes from a
hardware store. It is on the list anyway, because otherwise two viewers set off independently. A
wish outside the shop can be taken over without any money
running through your shop.
What this occasion turns on
They stay anonymous although delivery goes straight to them
This is the point the occasion stands or falls on. Without masking they would have to
either give their address to strangers or give up direct delivery.
- On the list
- Only the display name, the channel name for instance. No first name, no surname, no town
- In the cart
- The same line. The viewer sees that delivery is masked, and does not see where it goes
- On the invoice
- Their own address as the billing address, the owner's nowhere
- What stays real
- The country and an empty postcode, so that shipping and tax remain correct. The parcel service gets the right address
Delivery note yes, invoice no. The invoice names the giver with their address.
If it is in the parcel, the owner knows the sender - usually unwanted here. How you set that is under
Shipping to the list owner.
Anonymous in both directions
It is not only the owner who wants to stay unrecognised. A viewer may prefer to give
without being named as well.
- The box at checkout
- The giver decides whether their name is passed on
- What the owner sees then
- "A giver" or the first name with an initial – that is your setting
- The email address
- The owner never gets to see it, not even for givers who are not anonymous
- The thank-you note
- Runs through the shop. They say thank you without knowing an address
What is different about a public list
Three things nobody needs at a wedding
A list seen by eighty invited guests moderates itself. A list under a video does not.
These three places are therefore the important ones here.
- Report link
- Any visitor can send a list to review. The report goes into your moderation, not to the owner
- Word filter
- Fifty terms are included. A hit blocks nothing; it puts the list forward as a review note
- Block with a reason
- The only decision that actually takes a list offline. The owner is shown your reason
Deliberately not on the list: a password. It would work, but it makes no sense here
– putting a password on a list everybody is meant to see, and then writing it next to the link,
protects nothing. More on the review list in the chapter
The administration.
What you set up for it
Four places
The defaults carry almost all of this case. These four are worth setting
deliberately.
- Address masking
- On out of the box. Without it this occasion does not work
- Giver anonymity
- Decide how an anonymous giver appears to the owner
- Report link
- Switch it on for lists shared in public
- Allow reserving
- So that a viewer can hold a more expensive item until they can afford it
A date is usually superfluous here: a setup grows over months. Without one the
list runs indefinitely, and the reminders that hang on it fall away by themselves.
