How to Launch an Ecommerce Token on Solana
This tutorial shows how to create a token for your ecommerce brand, store, or product line on Solana. You can launch in under 10 minutes with a 0.1 SOL fee, get a custom website built by AI, and set up a revenue model that pays you 0.30% on every trade while rewarding token holders with another 0.30%. This approach turns customers into a community with a shared stake in your brand's success.

The Solution
Spawned provides an AI-powered platform that makes building fast, simple, and accessible to everyone.
Why Launch a Token for Your Ecommerce Business?
Move beyond basic loyalty programs.
An ecommerce token transforms a transactional relationship into a community partnership. Instead of one-time purchases, customers who hold your token become invested in your brand's growth. For example, a streetwear brand could use its token for early access to drops, exclusive discounts, or voting on new designs. A Shopify store could offer token-gated product lines or share a portion of profits with holders. On Spawned, this is built into the model: you earn 0.30% on every trade, and your community earns 0.30% just for holding. This creates a circular economy where success is shared. Compared to traditional loyalty points, a Solana token is liquid, tradable, and can appreciate in value, offering real incentives for your most dedicated customers.
Spawned vs. Other Platforms for Ecommerce Tokens
A side-by-side look at what matters for a brand.
Choosing the right launchpad is critical for long-term success. Many platforms like pump.fun focus only on the launch, offering 0% creator fees but no sustainable model. For an ecommerce brand, this is a problem—you need ongoing revenue and tools to build a real business.
| Feature | Spawned.com | Typical Launchpads (e.g., pump.fun) |
|---|---|---|
| Launch Fee | 0.1 SOL | ~1-2 SOL + |
| Creator Revenue | 0.30% on all trades | 0% |
| Holder Rewards | 0.30% ongoing | None |
| Website Builder | AI-powered, included | None or extra cost |
| Post-Launch Model | 1% fee via Token-2022 after graduation | Often abandoned |
For ecommerce, the included AI website builder is a major advantage. It creates a professional site for your token and brand, which you'd otherwise pay $29-99/month for on platforms like Shopify or Webflow. This site becomes the hub for your token utility, product drops, and community.
Step-by-Step: Launch Your Ecommerce Token in 10 Minutes
Follow these steps to go from idea to a live token with a website.
- Connect Your Wallet: Go to Spawned.com and connect a Solana wallet like Phantom. You'll need some SOL for the launch fee and initial transactions.
- Define Your Token: Enter your token's name, symbol (e.g., STREET, BOUTIQUE), and description. For ecommerce, the name should reflect your brand or product line. Upload your logo.
- Set Initial Supply & Taxes: The platform will suggest a standard supply. The key settings are the fees: confirm the 0.30% creator fee and 0.30% holder reward fee. These are automatically configured for you.
- Build Your Website: Use the AI builder. Describe your brand (e.g., 'premium eco-friendly apparel for gamers') and select a template. The AI will generate copy, layout, and images for your token's homepage in seconds.
- Review & Launch: The total cost is shown clearly—0.1 SOL for the launch. Confirm the transaction. Your token is created, liquidity is added, and your website goes live immediately.
- Share & Grow: Share your new token page and website link with your audience. Start explaining the utility—will it be for discounts, exclusive access, or profit sharing?
Ecommerce Token Use Cases & Tokenomics Examples
Get inspired by real utility models.
Here are concrete examples of how different ecommerce businesses can structure their token utility.
- Fashion Brand Token: Token holders get 15% off all purchases, early 24-hour access to new collections, and can vote on colorways for upcoming releases. A portion of quarterly profits (e.g., 5%) is used to buy back and burn the token, increasing scarcity.
- Digital Product Store: A store selling Notion templates or digital art uses its token as a membership pass. Holding 100 tokens grants access to a vault of all future products. The 0.30% holder rewards act as a continuous dividend for members.
- Subscription Box Service: Use the token to pay for subscriptions at a 20% discount. New subscriber referrals pay a bonus in tokens. The creator fee of 0.30% on all trades generates a marketing budget that grows with token activity.
- Marketplace Platform: A niche marketplace (e.g., for vintage cameras) uses its token to reduce seller fees. Sellers who stake tokens see their listing fees drop from 5% to 3%. This ties platform usage directly to token demand.
What to Do After You Launch
The launch is the start line, not the finish.
Launching is just the beginning. Your first goal is to connect the token to real value for your business.
- Activate Utility Immediately: Don't wait. Announce the first use case on day one—perhaps a 'launch week' 25% discount for token holders. This creates immediate buy pressure and a reason to hold.
- Promote Your Website: Your AI-built website is your community hub. Drive your social media followers, email list, and customers there. Use it to explain the token's long-term vision.
- Plan for Graduation: On Spawned, tokens can 'graduate' to full independence. This triggers the shift to the Token-2022 standard with a 1% perpetual fee that funds ongoing development. Plan this for when you have a stable, utility-driven community—it's a sign of maturity, not an exit. Learn about token standards.
- Integrate with Your Store: Explore tools to connect your Solana token wallet with your existing ecommerce platform (like Shopify via plugins) to enable token-gated store sections or automatic discount application.
Verdict: Should You Launch an Ecommerce Token on Spawned?
Yes, if you are a brand or creator looking to build a lasting community with shared incentives.
For a cost of 0.1 SOL, you get a functioning token, a liquidity pool, and a professional website—a package that would cost hundreds elsewhere. The 0.30%/0.30% fee split is a sustainable model that rewards you and your holders from day one. This is fundamentally different from meme coin launches; it's built for businesses.
Consider a different approach if you only want a quick, speculative pump with no plan for utility. The Spawned model is designed for projects that intend to graduate and build long-term value. For ecommerce brands planning to integrate token utility into their operations, Spawned provides the most complete and economically sensible starting point.
- Best for: Brands, product creators, store owners building community.
- Cost: 0.1 SOL flat fee, no hidden costs.
- Key Benefit: Built-in revenue (0.30%) and holder rewards from the start.
- Unique Tool: AI website builder included, saving monthly fees.

Frequently Asked Questions
The total launch cost is 0.1 SOL (approximately $20, depending on SOL price). This one-time fee covers token creation, initial liquidity pool setup, and the AI-powered website builder. There are no monthly fees for the website. The only ongoing transaction costs are the standard Solana network fees, which are minimal.
You earn a 0.30% fee on every single buy and sell transaction of your token. This happens automatically. If your token has a vibrant community and regular trading volume, this creates a meaningful revenue stream. For example, if your token's daily trading volume reaches $50,000, you would earn approximately $150 per day from the creator fee alone.
The AI builder creates a custom, multi-page website in seconds. You describe your brand (e.g., 'luxury skincare line with NFT art'), and it generates professional copy, selects images, and designs a layout. This site acts as the central hub for your token—explaining its utility, showcasing your products, and hosting links to your social media and store. It eliminates the need for a separate $29-99/month website service.
Yes, but the integration is not automatic within Spawned. After launch, you can use third-party plugins or custom development to connect a Solana wallet to your ecommerce platform. This would allow you to create token-gated discounts or product access. Your Spawned-created website is the perfect place to host instructions and links for these connected experiences.
Graduation is a voluntary step where your token migrates to the Solana Token-2022 standard. This gives you more control and advanced features. The key change is the fee structure: the 0.30%/0.30% model transitions to a single, configurable 1% perpetual fee that you control. This fee can fund marketing, development, or further buybacks. It's designed for projects ready to operate independently long-term.
Physical goods are an excellent use case. The token can represent a 'membership' to your physical brand. Holders could get free shipping, exclusive access to limited physical drops, or invitations to real-world events. The liquidity and tradability of the token add a financial incentive to being a loyal customer, complementing the physical product experience perfectly.
The 0.30% holder reward is distributed proportionally to everyone holding the token at the time of any trade. It's automatically added to their token balance. If a holder owns 1% of the total token supply, they receive 1% of the 0.30% reward from every trade. This happens continuously, providing a constant incentive to hold and support the token's ecosystem.
