Built for founders under 18
You built something. Sell it here.
EshipX is the marketplace for young entrepreneurs — the one that can actually take your money legally, pay you legally, and handle whatever it is you made.
- A product
- A file
- A subscription
- Something you're not sure fits anywhere
You can be 14 and still get paid
Most marketplaces can't legally onboard a seller under 18, so they don't. EshipX is built the other way around. A parent or guardian does two things, once: they sign a consent form, and they set up the payout account in their own name — Stripe checks their ID and bank details on Stripe's own page. Then you run the store.
Your store can't go live without consent on file, on every plan, no exceptions. Two steps for a grown-up, versus every other marketplace saying no. That's the whole reason this works.
Keep 90%. Keep 100% of shipping.
A flat 10% on item value — and nothing at all during your free period. You start with 3 months or $500 in sales fee-free, whichever comes first. Verified LaunchX alumni start with 6 months or $1,000. Shipping is always yours, in full.
Three kinds of product, one store
A real object that ships. A file people download. Ongoing access you charge for every month. Most youth platforms do the first one. EshipX does all three, in the same store, side by side.
Charge every month, and offer a free trial
If you built an app, a community, or a library you keep adding to, you can charge weekly, monthly, or yearly — and offer a free trial from 1 to 365 days. The buyer pays $0 today, gets charged automatically when the trial ends, and cancels any time before that without ever paying. Stripe runs the billing.
A real checkout, not a DM and a payment app
Cart, Stripe, order emails, tracking numbers, refunds, reviews, discount codes, an earnings dashboard. Buyers get a receipt. You get a record. Everything a real store has.
People find you here
Every founder gets a card in the Founders Directory, cross-linked to their brand. Products show up in shop, search, and browse. You're not sending a link into the void and hoping — there's a place people come to look.
Tell us what you made. We'll tell you what happens.
Four questions. No account, nothing saved.

Three types, at a glance
Every listing on EshipX is one of these three.
| Attribute | Physical Product | Digital Product | Digital Subscription |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | A real object you pack and ship. | A file the buyer downloads. | Ongoing access you charge for on a schedule. |
| For example | Crochet plushies, stickers, a zine, hot sauce. | A Notion template, a preset pack, a font, a game build. | A web app, a private Discord, a library you keep adding to. |
| How the buyer pays | Once, at your price — or pay-what-you-want above a floor. | Once, at your price — or pay-what-you-want above a floor. | Weekly, monthly, or yearly, with an optional 1–365 day free trial. |
| How they get it | You ship it and add a tracking number. | An emailed download link — 5 downloads, each link good for 72 hours. | You set up their access by hand, every time, then mark it sent. |
| Work per order | Packing and postage. | None. Delivery is automatic. | One setup per subscriber — including free trials who paid $0. |
| What to watch | Stock, shipping costs, and variants if you have sizes or colors. | 200MB file ceiling, and the download limit. | One subscription per checkout, and one price per listing. |
One product is one type. If you've got a physical thing with a digital companion, that's two listings — and that's fine.
Things we'd rather you heard from us
Subscriptions are delivered by hand.
Every order, including free trials. EshipX collects the money and tells you who signed up; you set up their access. We're not going to pretend that's automated.
Your first payout takes a while.
New stores sit on a 3 months holding period before the first payout. After that, payouts go out weekly.
Download links expire.
Your buyer gets 5 downloads, and each link is good for 72 hours. After that they have to contact support. Put it in your description and you'll avoid the ticket.
One product, one price.
No Basic/Pro tiers on one listing — list them separately. No usage-based billing. No subscription upgrades: a buyer cancels and re-subscribes.
We don't do services yet.
Tutoring, coaching, consulting — not set up for it, and our terms currently don't allow it.
Nothing you make is ever deleted.
If a product comes down it's archived — images, reviews, sales history all survive, and you can appeal.
What you write gets screened.
Titles, descriptions, and reviews run through a filter. It's a marketplace built by minors and shopped by strangers; that's the trade.
We're adding new features all the time.

So — can it do your thing?
