The Marketplace is coming soon.
A real storefront for every business on The KIN App — browse and buy items and services directly, with a real cart, real checkout, and real payouts. It's built; it's held back until payment verification is fully finished, so a real order never hits a broken checkout.
The real screen layout, not a mockup.
This is the actual browse grid built in the app — the fixed 7-category taxonomy (Apparel & Accessories, Beauty & Grooming, Food & Beverage, Home & Living, Art & Prints, Services, Other), real per-item pricing. The items shown above are illustrative examples of the categories — nothing here is purchasable yet.
Why it's not live yet.
The cart, checkout, seller payouts, order tracking, item reviews, and seller messaging are all genuinely built. It stays held back a little longer while payment verification gets fully finished — the same reasoning as The Exchange's hold-back, just for a different piece of the app. When it opens, it opens for every business and member at once, not a phased rollout.
Real infrastructure, not a mockup — just not switched on yet.
Real cart & checkout
Stripe Checkout handles payment, with Stripe Tax calculating what's owed automatically — the same standard, trusted checkout flow used well beyond this app.
Real seller payouts
Stripe Connect onboarding lets a business verify their identity and bank details once, then get paid directly for what they sell — no manual invoicing.
Item & order management
A dedicated seller screen (My Items) to list and manage inventory, plus order history on both sides — a buyer's Orders and a seller's own Business Orders.
Tiered listing allowances
Free-tier businesses that are verified already get real listing room — 5 to start, 15 on Founder and Founding Local, 25 on Premium Local, and unlimited on Elite. See the full comparison on Plans & Perks.
Commission drops as you grow
10% on Community, stepping down at every paid tier, to 0% on Elite — sell completely commission-free at the top. See the full breakdown on Plans & Perks.
Every business on The KIN App will get the same storefront tools — no separate application, no waitlist tier. Listing room and commission both depend on your plan — see the full breakdown on Plans & Perks. Claim your business now so you're ready the moment it opens.
Everything else is already live.
The map, KINDEX, KIN Quest, the Job Board, Community Events, and every owner growth tool are working today.
