They earn it. Then they save some.

How it works

From zero to their first sale in three steps.

1

You set up the account

About two minutes, and your kid doesn't need to be there. A quick card check confirms you're a grown-up. Nothing is charged today.

2

They build their store

Hand them the device. They name the store, pick a look and add what they already make.

3

You approve, they open

Nothing goes live until you OK it from your dashboard. Then real customers can order.

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.

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

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, and every order before it reaches your kid.

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

Kids never message anyone. All customer messages come to you in 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.

How old do you have to be to sell online?

On most marketplaces, 18. Etsy, eBay and Shopify all require an adult account holder, and Etsy doesn't allow kids under 13 on the platform at all. Lemonade Stand is built for kids, including kids under 13: the parent owns the account and approves everything, and the kid runs the store.

What does the parent control?

Everything that matters. You approve every product before it goes live, you approve every order before it reaches your kid, 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.

What does my kid actually learn?

The money lessons that don't stick in a lecture. Setting a price and finding out if anyone pays it, what the supplies cost versus what the sale brought in, writing a description that makes someone want to buy, filling an order on time, and watching a savings split set money aside from every sale. Boss Mode games and lessons cover pricing, customers and profit, and each one applies to a store that is open tomorrow.

What if nothing sells?

Then your kid has learned something real about pricing, and gets to try again. The first customers are almost always family, friends and neighbors, so the store comes with a link you can share. Many kids also start with things they already own, like outgrown books and toys, so there is nothing to lose on supplies. The first month is free and you can cancel anytime.

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 $5.99 a month or $49.99 a year, for up to five kids. When a customer pays by card, we keep 5% of the sale; in-person orders you record in the app have no fee. 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.
