Maya's Bracelet Stand is a sample shop built with the exact tools your kid gets. Browse the products, read her story, fill a cart — see for yourself what your kid will build.

How it works

From zero to their first sale in three steps.

1

Sign up together

Three minutes, one parent account. You stay in control the whole way.

2

They build their store

Name it, design it, add products they already love making.

3

You approve, they open

Nothing goes live without your OK. Then real customers show up.

Every kid who set up a card table with a lemonade pitcher and a hand-drawn sign learned something no classroom could teach. We're bringing that same scrappiness and pride online.

Lemonade Stand is for a generation that finds joy in creating real products and knows that today's commerce happens on a screen.

Their store. Their rules.

They pick what to sell.

Bracelets, baked goods, painted rocks, stickers. Whatever they already enjoy making.

They build their own shop.

Name it, design it, push it live. Every action belongs to them.

$

They learn the economics.

And discover what it costs to make something, what profit feels like, and how to make business decisions strategically.

1

They open for business.

Real orders from real people who want what they made and come back for more!

Experience is the best teacher.

Pride in creating something of value and putting it out into the world

Their first real lessons in earning money and being self-sufficient

Hands-on digital experience designing and running a real website for their business

The grit to stick with something that can't be finished in one sitting

Built by a parent who asked every safety question you're thinking right now.

You own the account and have total control over what they see and who they talk to.

You approve every product before it goes live.

Never any photos of children. We only allow product photos to be posted.

No messaging between users. All customer messages go to the parent portal.

First name only. No personal details like birthdays, last names, or addresses are ever collected.

No ads. No data sharing. We don't advertise to kids or share family data with anyone.

Questions parents ask before saying yes.

Can a kid under 13 really have their own online store?

Yes, with a parent involved. Most platforms ban kids under 13 because of a federal privacy law called COPPA. Lemonade Stand was built for that law from day one: the parent owns the account, gives verified consent, and approves everything. The store itself belongs to the kid.

What does the parent control?

Everything that matters. You approve every product before it goes live, you see every order, and every customer message goes to your parent portal, never to your kid. There is no messaging between kids and strangers, ever.

What can kids actually sell?

Things they make and services they can do with a parent present: bracelets, baked goods, painted rocks, stickers, art, dog walking, car washes. If they already enjoy making it or doing it, they can learn to sell it.

How do customers pay?

Like any real store. Customers check out on the kid's storefront with a card, or families can take in-person orders and record them in the app. Parents control how payments are set up.

How much does Lemonade Stand cost?

The first month is free, then $3.99 a month. Cancel anytime. No ads, and we never sell family data.

Is my kid's personal information safe?

We collect as little as possible: first name only, no photos of children anywhere on the site, and no birthdays, last names, or addresses from kids. No ads, no data sharing. The full privacy policy spells it all out. Read the privacy policy

Your kid already makes things worth selling.
