Kickstand

get your stand rolling 🍋

Live in 5 minutes. Take money today.

Give your kid's stand — lemonade, cookies, whatever they're selling — a real little business. Its own page, its own QR, scan-to-pay memberships, and a mailing list that tells the block the moment you're open. No app to install. No register. No website to build.

Three steps, no paperwork

How it works

No DBA. No business bank account. No Stripe account. No forms for a nine-year-old to sign. Kickstand holds the payment rails so the stand can just be a stand.

Name your stand

Pick a name, set your membership price, print the QR. You're live at getkickstand.io/your-name and taking money today — payment setup comes later, or never, if you never cash out.

Orange has notes, and step one is easy.

Neighbors scan & join

One scan opens the stand page — no app, no login. They see you're open, what today's special is, and the two ways to buy. Apple Pay makes joining one touch.

Kiwi didn't install a thing. Kiwi is fine.

You cash out

Earnings stack up from day one in a balance we hold for you. A grown-up connects a bank whenever you're ready to take the money out — never before.

Watermelon has been waiting all summer for this.

Screens from the build

See the whole thing

The customer meets Kickstand by scanning a QR on the sidewalk, so every screen is mobile-first. Here's what they see — and what you run the day from.

The Tutti Frutti Lemonade stand page, marked open today, showing the day's special and a join button

The membership success screen reading You're a member, with the strawberry mascot

The operator dashboard showing a balance, member count, open/closed toggle and a we're open broadcast button

Plain money, plain words

How your kid gets paid

It's their money, so here's the whole flow. Every card payment goes to Kickstand's Stripe account — that's the trick that lets a stand start today with no setup — and your share is held for you until you cash out.

Where an $8 membership goes

Example on an $8 membership. Every stand sets its own price.

Customer pays$8.00

Stripe processing−$0.53

Kickstand fee−$1.00

Your kid keeps$6.47

Held in your balance from the first sale. Connect a bank whenever you want it — identity and bank checks happen at cash-out, not at signup.

Free to start. We only earn when you do.

No upfront fee, no monthly bill, no card required to open a stand. We take our cut out of memberships you actually sell — so if the stand has a slow summer, it costs you nothing.

A buck for a cup.
Or join for good.

Cash runs the $1 item. Card runs the lifetime membership — a collectible cup, one free item of the day, and first dibs on treats. Pricing is the stand's call: fit it to what you sell, keep it under about $15, and anchor the cash item low so the membership is the obvious deal.

$1 cash item $8 lemonade — our standard $12 a pie stand one-time, never a subscription

Out in the world

The sidewalk is the billboard

The sign brings them in, the cup keeps reminding them, and one email brings them back. That's the whole growth engine — and it runs on a lawn.

The QR sign

Big lemon, big hand-lettered headline, one QR. Weatherproof and readable from the sidewalk. Go on — scan it.

The strawberry mascot, this season's cup character

The collectible cup

The season's character wraps the cup — membership card, daily reminder, and billboard in one. New season, new character, new reason to come back.

🍋 We're open!

Mango lemonade today. Members grab a free cup — we're out front till 4.

The “we're open” email

One tap on the dashboard tells the whole list you're set up. This is the part that turns a passer-by into a regular.

The actual product

From passer-by to regular

Kickstand's real product isn't lemonade — it's turning a one-time passer-by into a neighbor who comes back.

Discover

A bright, hand-lettered sign on the sidewalk. Curiosity does the rest.

Sees: a stand and a QR sign

Scan & land

One scan opens the stand page. No app, no login — instantly clear that it's open and what's on today.

Sees: the stand page, open

Join the club

They tap join, pay once, and get a cup. Quietly, they also join the list — with a real opt-in, never assumed.

Sees: checkout, then a celebration

“We're open!”

Days later the sign goes back up, and one tap sends the whole list a note. A quiet passer-by is now a summoned regular.

Sees: an email on a Saturday morning

Advocacy

The cup sits on their counter. Friends ask about it. The block fills with cups — and the next family asks how to start their own.

Sees: friends with the same cup

Built so a parent can say yes.

Kickstand is the merchant of record — card details never touch your setup, and no kid needs a Stripe account.
Payouts go to a grown-up. The account holder is 18+, always the parent, never the kid.
Stripe stays the regulated money-mover. We don't pool cash and send it around ourselves.
Identity and bank verification happen at cash-out — deferred, not skipped.
Email first. We never sell your info, and SMS stays off until someone actually asks for it.

Lemonade is the wedge, not the ceiling.

Scan → pay → join the list → get notified is the same engine wherever something small gets sold on a folding table. Start with the stand on the corner; the rest is the same product.
