What Stan does

Stan gives a creator a single store page, usually linked from a social profile, where buyers can purchase downloads, courses, memberships and booked calls. The paid plans add email marketing, funnels, payment plans, an affiliate programme and Instagram direct-message automation. In 2026 the company added Stanley, a separately priced AI assistant that drafts and schedules social posts in the creator's own voice.
