Expanded Order Status for Gifters (Fans)

Allow gifters to see more than just when the Throne order has been placed and when the item has shipped. As a bare minimum, let gifter know if order was placed (BY Throne through the linked merchant). Right now, fans are only advised if an item was shipped. Currently, only gift receivers get full access to an item's status (image attached). While some of this is not necessarily relevant to the gifter, the "Ordered" or "Queued" statuses would add some helpful transparancy to an ordered item's status.

Feels a bit scary to allow them that much information, can see it being an issue with the gifter being pushy with seeing the gift especially if it's an outfit/cosplay because they can see when you received it. Privacy is a big part of throne after all. Can also be miscommunication if it says credited instead of gifted when the item wasn't in stock (waiting to reorder). I honestly like the way it is now and if this was implemented I'd like it to be an option to turn it off :/

I can definitely see what you're saying. Honestly, the main thing Throne needs to be more transparent about with the gifter is whether or not the order has actually been placed. As it stands, the gifter only knows if the item has been shipped. The rest of the order status I will agree is unnecessary for the gifter to know. It can be a bit disheartening to find out months later that the item was never even ordered (most likely out of stock) and have no way of knowing that unless the person gifted says so. And that's even harder to do if the gifter was anonymous.
