Questions by topic
Getting started
What is Blake?
Blake is a premium creator-commerce platform that brings the tools entrepreneurs need to build, manage, and grow their businesses together in one beautiful place: storefronts and websites, digital products, courses, memberships, communities, bookings, email marketing, funnels, affiliate commerce, analytics, and Blake Studio.
When does Blake launch?
Blake is coming soon. We're opening the doors when the complete platform is ready. Join the waitlist to hear first.
Who is Blake for?
Creators, coaches, educators, service providers, affiliates, and established business owners: anyone who wants to sell their knowledge, products, or services from one place, whether it's a first product or a growing business.
Do I need design or technical skills?
No. Blake is designed so you can build a storefront by choosing sections and adding your products, or describe your idea and let Blake Studio build a site in your brand, then refine it by chatting or in the visual editor.
Pricing and plans
Is there really a free plan?
Yes. Blake Launch is $0 a month, with a permanently free storefront and affiliate account and up to 10 products. Transaction fee details will be announced before launch.
Are there transaction fees?
Blake Launch includes a Blake transaction fee on sales. The percentage, and any transaction fees on Blake Build and Blake Scale, will be announced before launch.
What happens if I change or end a paid plan?
Your workspace moves to Blake Launch and your storefront stays live. Nothing is deleted: your products stay published and your customers keep their access. Paid-only features pause, and “Powered by Blake” shows again until you upgrade.
Is Blake Studio included on the free plan?
Yes. Blake Studio is included on all three plans: Launch, Build, and Scale. AI usage allowances for each plan will be announced before launch.
Selling on Blake
What can I sell on Blake?
Digital products, courses, memberships and subscriptions, coaching and services with bookings, and more, from your own storefront or website.
Can I customize my storefront?
Yes. Every storefront can carry your own name, photos, and colors. Blake Build and Blake Scale add more customization and let you remove “Powered by Blake”.
Can I use my own domain?
Custom domains are part of Blake's plans. Which plans include them will be announced before launch.
What is creator milestone recognition?
Blake is planning physical plaques for creators who reach $10,000, $50,000, $100,000, and $1 million in verified sales on Blake. The plaques shown on this site are concept renderings, and qualification details will be announced before launch. Recognition celebrates progress. It isn't a promise of results.
Affiliates
What is the Blake affiliate program?
A planned program for people who introduce creators and business owners to Blake. When it opens, Blake will pay a commission for referrals that become paying Blake customers. It isn't open yet. Commission rates, how referrals are credited, when and how commissions are paid, and who can join will all be published before it opens. Blake is software, not an income opportunity. Program terms, including commission rates, aren't final, and any commission will depend on those terms and the referrals you make. Nothing is guaranteed.
How do I join the Blake affiliate program?
It isn't open yet. Join the waitlist, and choose “Affiliate” on the form if you'd like to tell us you're interested. We'll let you know when the program opens, with its terms published first.
Is the Blake affiliate program the same as affiliate commerce in Blake?
No. In the Blake affiliate program, you promote Blake itself and Blake pays the commission, under Blake's terms. Affiliate commerce is a feature inside the platform: creators can run their own affiliate programs for their products, set their own commission, and pay it themselves.
Can I promote creators' products without selling my own?
Yes, with affiliate commerce in Blake. Every Blake account includes a free affiliate account. Build a branded affiliate storefront, add products that creators have approved for affiliates, and earn commission on the attributed eligible sales you refer. Each product links to the creator's original product page and checkout, and your referrals are credited to you. Commission rates are set by each creator. What you earn depends on the sales you refer and isn't guaranteed.
Who sets the commission on creators' products?
Each creator chooses which of their products affiliates can promote, and affiliates earn commission on attributed eligible sales. Commission rates are set by each creator. What you earn depends on the sales you refer and isn't guaranteed.
When I promote a creator's product, is there a separate checkout?
No. Every creator product an affiliate shares links to the creator's original product page and checkout, and the referral is credited to the affiliate who sent the shopper.
Blake Studio
What is Blake Studio?
Blake Studio uses AI to create websites, storefronts, sales pages, and funnels for your business. Describe your idea, add your photos and brand assets, and Blake Studio generates a fully functioning site you can refine by chatting or with the visual editor.
Will my site look like a template?
No. Blake Studio builds in your own colors, fonts, photos, and voice, and you can change anything by chatting or in the visual editor.
