From a sentence to a shipped order, without the traps
Say what you want to sell
One sentence. Kiln answers with three real drafts: brand, look, product, and price, each limited to things that can be made one at a time. If your idea can't ship at one unit, we say so and show you the nearest thing that can.
See the real margin before you commit
Every draft shows what you keep per sale, with our fee and card processing already subtracted. The number on the screen is the number in your bank.
Launch to people who'll actually buy
Kiln writes your launch post, drafts the message, and tells you which 20 people in your world to send it to first. The goal is your first sale inside 48 hours.
Every order is made, then shipped
Someone buys → it gets made → it ships, in days. No inventory, no pre-order escrow, no threshold set in someone else's sole discretion. When you've proven demand, we graduate you to batch runs at real margins.
The margin we show you is the margin you keep
The biggest platform in this category shows founders a margin that excludes its own fee. That number is 162% too high, on the one screen where the brand locks forever. Its cut is charged on gross: on shipping, and on the sales tax you collect for the state.
Kiln charges 8% of the product price on the free tier. Never shipping. Never tax. Selling is free forever; optional paid tiers lower the rate contractually, down to 5%. If you don’t sell, we make nothing.

We tell you what sells before you make anything
Other platforms test your idea on AI shoppers. Kiln reads real orders across the whole network nightly: what’s converting, at what price, and what’s cooling off. Every sale on Kiln makes the next seller’s picks smarter.

A store is not a sale
The number one reason first brands die: launch, tell nobody, silence. So Kiln doesn’t finish at “your store is live.” It finishes at “you made your first sale.”
- Your launch post, written in your voice
- The 20 people in your world most likely to buy first
- The exact message to send them
- And if it isn't working in 48 hours, we say so, and why
I made a real thing. Emberline is live: soy candles, poured one at a time and shipped within the week. First 7 orders get free shipping. Link in bio.
Dough stays dough. Kiln ships.
We probed all 164 storefronts in the leading AI-brand platform’s own sitemap. Zero had ever flipped from pre-order to in-stock, and a quarter were already paused. The idea → storefront step is solved. Kiln exists for everything after.

Five guarantees
Our fee never touches shipping or sales tax.
A per-order receipt proves it, every sale.
A published rate card. 8% to 5%.
Selling is free forever at 8%. Optional paid tiers lower the rate in the contract, not in “illustrative” fine print.
Leave with everything, any day.
Your files, your customers, your supplier's name, never gated on a balance.
Nothing is made that isn't sold.
Zero inventory risk is the default, not a plan tier.
Regulated goods are pre-compliant.
Supplements and skincare ship as vetted white-label formulas, not unreviewed AI recipes.
What do you want to make?
One sentence. Three drafts. Your first sale this week, or we tell you why not.
