MakeBook

A new look. A fuller MAKEBOOK. We’re building out the platform’s full functionality and giving it a fresh visual identity. The idea stays the same: real demand before production. We’ll share more as it takes shape. 👀

Suppose a batch needs 100 units to go ahead. By the deadline, buyers have paid for 70. The offer missed its minimum. But the result alone can’t tell you why. The product, price, timing and audience reach all deserve a closer look. Talk to buyers before deciding what to change. We’re building MAKEBOOK around paid demand. Understanding what that demand tells you matters too.

Your product. Your price. In MAKEBOOK’s fixed-price presales, brands set the unit price, minimum order quantity and deadline. Buyers see those terms before paying. After the deadline, paid orders determine whether the batch meets its minimum and clears. You keep control of pricing, with real purchase commitments to guide production.

Already have your own suppliers and shipping partners? Keep working with them. MAKEBOOK helps organize the presale: the terms buyers agree to, their orders, and the rules for staged payouts. You decide what to make and what to charge, and remain responsible for production, delivery and product support.

Reaching the minimum early doesn’t unlock an early payout. In MAKEBOOK’s fixed-price presale model, the batch is settled after the deadline. If it clears, the seller can claim the first installment under the staged payout rules. The minimum quantity and the deadline both matter.

A useful preorder update answers three questions: What’s been completed? What’s next? Has the timeline changed? If there’s a delay, explain what happened and when buyers can expect the next update. People have put money behind your work. Keep them in the loop.

Would you preorder a physical product from renders alone? A physical sample, material close-ups, the maker’s past work—what would give you enough confidence to put money down?

What happens if a batch doesn’t reach its minimum? In MAKEBOOK’s fixed-price presale model, buyers can claim a refund after the deadline if the minimum order quantity hasn’t been met. That covers the order amount and any gas service fee paid with that order. Separate wallet network fees aren’t included. One detail to remember: you need to claim the refund yourself. It won’t be sent automatically.

The tee you keep reaching for. The tote that goes everywhere. The mug on your desk. What’s one piece of community merch that’s become part of your everyday life? Show us 👇

Planning your community’s first merch drop? Before opening preorders, get three things clear: The product. What are people getting? Show the materials, size and what’s included. Make it clear whether the images show a sample or a mockup. The price and shipping. Say where you ship and include shipping to those regions in the price. The seller. Who’s responsible for making and delivering it? Give a latest ship date and an easy way to get in touch. That’s the starting point for a MAKEBOOK presale. What would your community make first?

A preorder shouldn’t come with moving goalposts. On MAKEBOOK, the unit price, minimum order quantity and order deadline are fixed when orders open. Not enough orders? The brand can’t lower the minimum halfway through to make the batch clear. The terms you paid under are the terms used at the deadline. Ever had a preorder change the rules on you?

The factory needs a deposit. Where does it come from? With MAKEBOOK, paid orders help fund production. Presale funds are released in stages: 40% when the batch clears at the deadline. 50% when the brand submits shipping information. 10% 45 days after that submission. The first 40% can help cover the factory deposit. The brand handles production and delivery.

You’ve got the design. You’ve got a community. But the factory has a minimum order to meet. With MAKEBOOK, you set the price and minimum quantity. Buyers place paid preorders. Production starts only if that minimum is reached by the deadline. For your first batch, what’s the bigger hurdle: getting enough orders or paying for production upfront？

Feeling cute too 🥷💚

“Please make this.” Great to hear. But how many should you make? With MAKEBOOK, brands set the price and minimum order quantity. Buyers place paid orders. The batch goes into production only if the minimum is met. Ever had more “I want one” comments than actual orders?

I like injective.

Let’s make it easier to bring real things to life 🤝 We’re teaming up with @INJ_Pass to explore a smoother journey from wallet to physical goods. Real demand first. Then production. Glad to have you building with us.

“Please make this.” “When can I buy one?” Great comments to get. Hard to plan a production run around. The factory still needs a minimum order and a deposit. MAKEBOOK puts paid orders before production. Creators: how many “I want one” comments turn into actual orders?

What happens if a MAKEBOOK batch doesn’t reach its minimum? If the deadline passes without enough orders, the batch won’t enter production. Buyers can claim a full refund onchain. Refunds need to be claimed—they aren’t sent automatically. And if the batch clears? The brand is responsible for production and delivery. A failed-batch refund protects buyers when demand falls short. It isn’t a guarantee against every delivery risk.
