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 card processing and Kiln's cut already subtracted. The cut is a flat 5% of the product price, never shipping, never tax, and processing passes through at cost. 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.
Step 04, spelled out: how every order is made and shipped, product by product.
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, on the one screen where the brand locks forever. Per their published terms, its cut is charged on gross: on shipping, and on the sales tax you collect for the state.
Kiln takes a flat 5% of the product price, in the contract. Never shipping, never tax, never processing. The margin below is the real one, with our cut already out, on the one screen that matters.

Built to tell you what sells before you make anything
Other platforms test your idea on AI shoppers. Kiln counts paid orders instead: what’s converting, at what price, and what’s cooling off. The network is new, so the table below is labeled sample data. The pipeline behind it is real: it flips to live network reads at 10 paid units in a rolling 14 days.

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.
The price fits in one sentence: $29 a month and 5% of the product price. Dough charges $29 a month and takes up to 19% of gross, including your shipping and the sales tax you have to remit.
| Kiln | “Everything factory” platforms | Classic dropshipping | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum order | 1 unit | nothing is made until a pre-order threshold is met | 1 unit, generic product |
| Monthly fee | free to build · $29/mo to sell ($180/yr) | $29/mo, per their published terms | a store subscription, plus apps |
| Take rate | flat 5% of product price | up to 19% of gross, incl. shipping and remitted sales tax, per their published terms | 0%, and you do everything |
| Your money arrives | your own Stripe payouts, typically 2 days | after delivery, minus a reserve | instant, minus refunds |
| Who finds your first buyers | Kiln, 48h playbook | you, or 10% of ad spend, per their published terms | you |
| Your product | your brand, made for you | locked at draft; threshold to produce | the same item many other stores sell |
| Leaving | everything exports, always | 24-month supplier ban, per their published terms | n/a |
Five guarantees
The fee never touches shipping, tax, or processing.
A per-order receipt proves it, every sale.
A flat 5%, in the contract.
The fee is 5% of the product price only, written into 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 an upsell.
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.
