marketplace commission
Your shop. Your drops. Your audience. Build a dedicated storefront on Kingpin — keep the margin, gain the market.
Clear path forward
A shop first.
Drops when you need them.
Kingpin now supports brands that only want a clean shop on the marketplace. The community drop board remains available, but it is no longer the default starting point for every brand.
Open the shop path
Start as a brand shop without needing to appear on the community drop board.
Shape the storefront
Upload shop-specific logos and banners, pick templates, tune hero sections, and preview before publishing.
Add product
Turn listings into a catalog with product pages, search, filters, order flow, and buyer trust details.
Launch when ready
Use drops, community activity, team sections, and marketing tools when they make sense for the brand.
What you get
Built for shops
that release product
Zero Marketplace Commission
Brand storefronts keep 100% of Kingpin's marketplace cut. Payment processing still applies at checkout.
Marketplace Discovery
Your products live where buyers already browse, follow shops, and find drops. The drop board is available when you want it — not a requirement.
Dedicated Storefront
A shop built around products, launch pages, media, logos, and brand identity. Not a generic profile page.
Drops & Pins
Scheduled drop releases, pinned listings, pinned products, and user-facing drop announcements — all built in.
Focused Audience
Kingpin is fingerboards and related collectibles. Discovery stays relevant because the community is specific.
Pro Tools Coming
Advanced analytics, storefront controls, and optional paid placements — without touching your core commission rate.
