You already have a shop. It's the chat where you sell.
Kepta turns a chat message into a sale that's paid, shipped and written down, for makers of one-off pieces who never wanted a shop in the first place.

From "I'll take the green one" to paid, in one tap.
There's no shop to build and no cart to abandon. You stock a private drop in Kepta, post the photo wherever your buyers are, and the whole sale runs in the chat you already use.

Stock your drop
Add the pieces you made and their prices to a drop. A private list, not a public shop. No product page, no catalogue to maintain.

Post the photo
Share the drop to your feed or stories like you always have. That photo is the shop window. Kepta never shows your pieces to buyers.

Buyer · in your chat
"I'll take the green one 💚"
Kepta never reads your chats. You see "the green one", tap the matching piece in the Till, and the link is made — you're the bridge.

The link is made
That message turns into one link with the item, price, payment and how they'll get it. They never make an account.

The 20-minute hold
Hold expires in 19:47The moment the link goes out, the piece is locked with a countdown the buyer can see. A second "I'll take it" can't take what's already promised.
No marketplace builds this. It's the part that stops you promising the same piece to two people.

Kepta
Paid, fulfilled, recorded
They pay in about 30 seconds, pick hand-off, a market pickup slot or shipping — and it lands straight in your ledger. Done.
From the piece in your hands to a recorded sale.
Five screens, one flow. None of them a shop. Swipe through how a maker stocks a piece, bridges a chat, takes payment, and keeps the books.

Read the buyer's message, tap the piece, copy the link. You're the bridge.

Four things a marketplace won't build you.
Kepta isn't a smaller version of Shopify. It's for the parts of selling one-off pieces that a catalogue tool simply can't do.
No listing, no account, 30 seconds
Every sale is one link with the item, price, payment and fulfilment baked in. Your buyer never creates an account or browses a store.
The 20-minute hold
Once a link goes out, that piece is locked for 20 minutes with a countdown the buyer can see. No more double-promising the same item to two people.
Unfulfilled demand, visible
"34 wanted the lavender, you made 6." Kepta captures the wanting even for pieces that never got made, so you know what to make next.
Pickup done right
Pickup is how most of these makers actually sell, and Shopify does it badly. So Kepta does hand-off, a market pickup slot, and shipping.
Kepta isn't where you sell. It's how you sell where you already are.
Marketplaces want you inside their catalogue. Kepta works in the chat you already sell in — Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger, iMessage.
| Kepta | Marketplaces | |
|---|---|---|
| Commission | 0% | Up to ~10% all-in |
| Built for | One-off, handmade pieces | Catalogue & repeat SKUs |
| Pickup & hand-off | Native — market slot or hand-off | Bolted on, clunky |
| Buyer account | Not required | Usually required |
| Where you sell | Your own chat, your audience | Their marketplace, their algorithm |
What you actually keep
On a typical €75 piece paid by a European card, Stripe takes 1.5% + €0.25 — about €1.38. Kepta takes nothing. You keep roughly €73.60. A marketplace charging up to ~10% all-in would net you about €67.50 on that same sale. Do 80 of those a month and the difference is a €135 Kepta bill versus a ~€600 marketplace cut. (Non-European cards cost a little more — 2.5% + €0.25 — but Kepta's 0% never moves.)
One plan. No commission, ever.
One flat price a month. You keep every euro you make.
Trial = one full drop, not fourteen days.
- The link — item, price, payment & fulfilment in one send
- 20-minute hold on every claimed piece
- All three fulfilment modes: hand-off, market pickup, shipping
- Sales ledger — every drop, every sale, recorded
France compliance module (e-invoicing, VAT handling) is planned as a later add-on — not part of the pilot yet.
Questions makers actually ask
Does the buyer need an account?
No. They tap the link, pay, and choose how they'll get the piece — no sign-up, no password, no app to install.
Which countries can I sell in? Is it global?
Kepta is piloting across Europe, in English, with plans to expand. Payments run on Stripe Connect, which shapes which countries come online next.
Is it really zero commission?
Yes. You pay a flat €25 monthly fee and keep 100% of what you charge. Kepta doesn't take a cut of individual sales.
How much does Stripe cost me per sale?
Kepta adds 0% commission, so your only per-sale cost is Stripe's own processing fee. For payments by European cards that's 1.5% + €0.25 — about €1.38 on a €75 piece. Non-European cards are 2.5% + €0.25. There's no Stripe monthly fee on Kepta's Express setup. A maker doing 80 sales a month at €75 keeps roughly 97–98% of revenue, against the ~90% you'd net on a marketplace.
What about shipping?
Kepta captures the buyer's address and lets you offer hand delivery, a market pickup slot, or shipping at checkout. Shipping label buying and rate tables aren't built yet. That's a deliberate "not yet," not a storefront-style rate calculator.
Is my data safe? What about GDPR?
Kepta is EU hosted and acts as a data processor under GDPR Article 28 on your behalf. It's built for makers handling real customer data, not a side project.
What if I also sell at a market or in person?
You can log those sales into your ledger manually today. Deeper in-person and market tooling is planned for a later phase, not the pilot.
