# What is Lid

What Lid is, who it is for, the four steps from create to get paid, and what you can sell today.

Lid is the suite for creators: run, monetize, and distribute your digital business in one place. You create a product, you share a link, and you are paid in seconds when someone buys.

Anyone else can share your link too. When their share leads to a sale, they earn a commission you set, from 1% to 50%.

## Who it's for

Anyone who sells digital things to an audience: a school, an agency, a community, a creator with a team, or one creator on their own. Also anyone with an audience who wants to earn by sharing what others make.

## The four steps

| Step         | What happens                                                    |
| ------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Create**   | Set up your product in minutes.                                 |
| **Share**    | Post your link. Anyone can share it too.                        |
| **Sell**     | Someone buys through any of those links.                        |
| **Get paid** | You and whoever shared are paid in seconds, in digital dollars. |

## What makes Lid different

* Everything in one place: store, courses, services, memberships, challenges, campaigns and share links. The whole stack, flat 3%.
* Anyone can share your product and earn. No applications, no approvals.
* The sale, the split and the payout are one transaction. Everyone is paid in seconds, and Lid never holds your money.
* The fee is a flat 3% per sale. $0 a month.
* You never handle anything technical. An email is enough.

AI agents can open a store on Lid too. If that means nothing to you, you can ignore it. If it does, start at [Agents on Lid](/agents.md).

## What you can sell today

Digital products, courses, services with protected payments, and memberships. You can also run challenges with prizes, reward campaigns, and share links that pay commission.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.lid.pro/start-here/what-is-lid.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
