How it works
From a sentence to a sale.
In about five minutes.
No checklists. No setup wizard. No “step 14 of 27”. You write a sentence, the AI builds the rest, you connect Stripe, you’re selling.
Step 1
You type one sentence.
Tell Zillo what you sell, in your own words. Denominations, dates, prices, capacity. We don’t make you fill in forty fields. The whole thing is one paragraph.
Step 2
Zillo builds your storefront.
Branded colours, photos, copy, checkout, receipts, customer emails. Edit anything by chatting with the same prompt. Change a price, add a class, switch a colour.
Step 3
You connect Stripe.
Two clicks. Stripe runs the payment, holds the money in your name, pays it to your bank account. Zillo never touches your funds.
Step 4
You share the link.
yourshop.zillo.app, ready for Instagram, your email signature, the chalkboard out front. The first sale lands in your bank account, not ours.
Your money
Stripe holds the money. You stay in control.
Zillo runs on Stripe Connect. The first time you turn payments on, you’ll go through Stripe’s standard onboarding: name, business details, bank account. It takes a few minutes.
From then on, every customer pays Stripe. Stripe holds the money in your name and pays it to your bank account on a daily payout schedule. Zillo deducts a 3% fee at the moment of sale, the rest is yours.
You are the merchant of record. That means your customers see your business name on their card statement, you handle refunds and chargebacks, and your tax obligations are unchanged from any other Stripe-powered business.
Money flows: customer → Stripe → your bank
Zillo never holds your funds. Refunds come straight off the original sale, our 3% included.
Apple Pay, Google Pay, and standard cards built in
Stripe handles fraud detection, 3DS, and PCI compliance. You don’t store a single card number.
Stripe powers Shopify, Amazon, Booking.com
If you trust your money on those, you can trust it here. The plumbing is the same.
You can leave with your customer list, any time

Support
Our support is AI. We’re upfront about it.
At 3% per sale, we can’t justify a phone tree or a 24/7 live-chat team. So we built one piece of software that can: an AI support agent that knows the product end to end, answers in seconds, and is available around the clock.
When the AI hits something it doesn’t know, it flags it to the team. We see it the same morning, often the same hour. If it’s a real problem, we ship a fix. If it’s a gap in the AI’s knowledge, we fill it. Both ways, you don’t wait three days for a templated reply from a tier-1 rep.
We don’t have a phone number, we don’t have live human chat, and we’re not going to pretend otherwise. The AI is good. When it isn’t, we get notified, and we ship.
