# Welcome to Lid

Lid is the business suite. Tell Lida, Lid's AI, what you do and she writes and designs your website. The store, memberships and the rest are in the same account, 3% of each sale. Pick your path.

Lid. The business suite. Tell Lida, Lid's AI, what you do and she writes and designs your website. You see it before you pay, and you put it live on your own domain when you like it.

Your site is the start. When you want to sell online, it is all in the same account: a store, memberships, challenges, campaigns and share links. Lid keeps 3% of each sale. No company ever holds the money: the moment a sale is real, the split settles in one transaction, in digital dollars (USDC).

## Lid in one pass

The facts a person or an agent can check in ten seconds.

* What it is: the business suite. A website built by Lida, with a store, memberships, challenges, campaigns and share links in the same account.
* Who can build a site: anyone who signs up, with Lida on lid.pro or from an AI assistant over MCP.
* Fee on sales: 3% of each sale.
* Split on a sale with a 10% commission: seller 87, sharer 10, Lid 3.
* Commission a seller can offer: 1% to 50%, set per product.
* Settlement: the sale, the split and the payout are one transaction. The seller's share lands in seconds, and the sharer's commission is assigned to them in that same transaction, for them to claim.
* Money: digital dollars (USDC) on Solana. One digital dollar is one US dollar.
* Live today: sites built with Lida on your own domain, store, courses, memberships, challenges, links and campaigns, share links, adding funds by card, an agent connection over MCP, a REST API, an SDK and the Pay with Lid button.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.lid.pro/readme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
