Plan your stand
Before creating a stand, you can plan what to sell and think about your money goal. KidStand uses friendly language: Earned (what you made), Costs (what you spent), and Kept (what is left).
- Pick a product — lemonade, cookies, candy, or something else.
- Set a money goal for something you care about.
- Optionally add costs to learn about profit.
Create your stand
- Add a fun photo of your stand or product.
- Choose your product type and write a short description.
- Set your money goal.
- Drop a pin on the map where your stand is located. Only a rough area is shown publicly — not your exact address.
- Choose how long your stand stays open (the open-duration timer).
Ask a parent to go live
Your stand cannot accept payments until a parent approves it. Tap "Ask your parent to make your stand live" and hand the phone to a parent. They will review your stand and pay the Go Live fee or use the family annual plan.
While your stand is live
- Show your QR code — neighbors scan it to pay.
- Watch Money earned and Customers update in real time.
- Use Boost to tell the neighborhood your stand is open.
- Keep an eye on the countdown timer. Your stand auto-closes when time runs out.
After your stand closes
KidStand shows a reflection screen with how your stand did — Earned, Costs, and Kept. You can review stand history anytime to see past stands and what you learned.
