Private by design.

A trusted school marketplace takes ongoing care. Ember brings member access, privacy, payment operations, and support into one purpose-built service. We maintain the platform and help your school get started, so you can focus on the community around it.

A softly focused view of the Ember school marketplace

The care behind every exchange.

Your school sets the boundaries.

Your school shares invitations with its community. Ember manages sign-in and membership access, keeping protected listings, messages, and orders within the right school. A deliberately shared listing link reveals only its title, price, and primary image.

Build trust without oversharing.

Members see a first name, last initial, and optional profile photo, not personal contact details or full account profiles. Ember measures product usage without collecting messages, listing descriptions, contact details, or other private marketplace content.

From purchase to payout.

Ember connects checkout, order records, and payout status in one place. Full card and bank-account numbers are handled by Stripe, not stored in Ember's application. For handoffs, the buyer confirms receipt before funds are released to the seller.

Questions come to Ember.

Families can ask Ember for help with access, listings, or payments and report a listing directly in the marketplace. Questions reach the team responsible for the platform, giving school staff a clear place to turn. Contact Ember.

Expertise beyond the launch.

Your school chooses whom to invite and designates an administrator. Ember handles the platform setup, maintenance, and technical support. Families get one place to manage listings, conversations, purchases, and payouts.

Guided school setup
We help establish your marketplace, identify its administrator, and prepare to invite families. Your school has a direct contact at Ember as you get started.
Payout onboarding
Sellers and school administrators complete payout setup through Stripe in Ember. Account status shows when setup is complete and payouts are ready.
Conversations in context
Buyers and sellers can discuss an item and arrange pickup inside Ember. The listing and conversation stay connected, so details are easy to find.
Payout visibility
Sellers and school administrators can review their payout history and status in Ember, with amounts and related listings together in one record.
Reports with context
A report stays connected to the listing and concern involved, giving Ember the information to review it and take action when needed.
Ongoing platform care
Ember maintains the software, applies security updates, and tests changes before release. Your school does not need to maintain marketplace code or a payment integration.

Bring Ember to your school.
