KidStand
The kid-friendly way to run a lemonade-stand-style fundraiser. Kids create a stand, parents approve it, and neighbors pay with a tap — so kids earn real money and learn how business works.
Built for kids, controlled by parents. Stands only go live after a parent approves them.
A real business, run by a kid
KidStand turns the classic lemonade stand into a safe, modern experience. Kids do the dreaming and selling; parents stay in control of approvals and the money.
Kids create & run the stand
Pick what to sell, set a money goal, add a photo, and watch earnings and customers roll in live.
Parents approve & manage money
Nothing goes live without a parent. Parents unlock the stand and manage payouts to the family bank account.
Neighbors pay in seconds
Customers scan a QR code and pay securely — no cash needed. Every payment is powered by Stripe.
How It Works
From idea to earnings in a few simple steps
The kid creates a stand
Choose a product with fun icons, set a raising-money goal, add a photo, and drop a map location with a discovery radius.
A parent approves & unlocks it
The stand is handed to a parent, who approves it and pays a small opening fee or uses the family annual plan to make it live.
The stand goes live with a QR code
Print or show the stand's QR code. An open-duration timer counts down and auto-closes the stand when time runs out.
Customers pay with a tap
Neighbors scan the QR code, choose an amount, add a tip, and pay securely through Stripe — no cash required.
The kid sees money earned & customers
The live stand screen shows real-time earnings and customer count, then a friendly reflection on how the stand did.
Parents manage payouts to the bank
Earnings land in the parent-managed wallet. Parents request a payout to their bank whenever they're ready.
Everything in the app
A complete toolkit for young entrepreneurs and the parents who guide them
Kid-friendly stand creation
Pick a product with playful icons, set a money goal, add a photo, and place the stand on a map with a chosen radius.
Live stand & QR code
A live stand page shows a scannable QR code, real-time earnings, and the number of customers who've supported the stand.
Open-duration timer
Set how long the stand stays open. A countdown reminds everyone of the time left and auto-closes the stand at the end.
Parent approval gate
Every stand requires parent approval before it can go live — keeping kids safe and parents fully in control.
Stripe-powered payments
Customers pay securely with cards through Stripe. Money is tracked per stand, with optional tips for extra support.
Parent-managed payouts
Earnings collect in a parent wallet. Parents review balances and request payouts to their bank account on the kids' behalf.
Multi-kid households
One family account supports multiple kid profiles, so siblings can each run their own stands under a parent's oversight.
Safety & oversight
Parent approval, privacy-minded location handling, and content safeguards keep KidStand a safe place for kids and neighbors.
