MVP
Session 3: a Lovable landing page from the section template, with a Stripe checkout.
The point
I can build a simple version a customer could pay for today.

The idea
One page you can send to somebody, with a Stripe checkout. Not an app. The section template writes the Lovable prompt.
Worked example · Kettle & Fire
A very basic page, a $5 logo so it wouldn't look like a scam, and an Order Now button to a PayPal checkout for $29.99. “A UX designer's worst nightmare” — and 30% of visitors still clicked Order Now.
Ask the room
“Could somebody pay you on this page right now?”

1. Put up the case
Selling shoes online with no money to buy any shoes first — the same case in every city. Nobody's own business yet.
2. Popcorn it
What goes in the hero, how it works, who we are, delivery and the pay button, on the smallest page that could take an order? Write every answer on the whiteboard; the guide steers but does not give the answer.
3. Compare
The reveal: in 1999 Nick Swinmurn photographed shoes in local stores and put them on a simple website. When an order came in, he bought that pair and shipped it. The page proved demand before he owned a single pair. Name where the room was right and where it missed.
2:20-2:50Sprint on your own business30 min
Laptops open · point students to CofounderJr
Voice over the template
Nothing is printed. Read each line out loud with a quick example while it is on the screen; students fill in the same prompts in CofounderJr when laptops open.
- Hero: the offer sentence as the headline, and the price.
- How it works: three short steps from paying to getting it.
- Who we are: one line about you and why you are doing this.
- Delivery: when and how the customer gets it, and the guarantee.
- Pay: one button to a one-time Stripe checkout.
1. Focus · 30 min
Fill the template in CofounderJr, paste its prompt into Lovable once as it is, publish, then at most three one-line changes. Add the Stripe link from CofounderJr to the pay button and open it on a second device.
2. Save & move on
Save the work. When time is up, pick and move on to the share; the sprint is short on purpose.
2:50-2:55Share5 min
1. Share
One student per table shows their live page and reads the headline out loud.
2. Give a suggestion
“I like… I wish… What if…” Name one specific change, with a reason.
3. Use it
Repeat what you heard. Make one small change or write it down as your next step.
2:55-3:00Reflections & shout-outs5 min
Reflect
Ask: “What can you do now, and what helped you learn it?” Give each partner a turn.
Shout-outs · the 3 S’s
- Short: one sentence.
- Specific: name the helpful action.
- Skill-based: say what skill it showed.
Model one
“Shout-out to Sam for being the customer who actually said no, so I could practise. That showed Teamwork and Leadership.”

- Polishing before the button works
- Headline, price, button, published. Everything else comes after somebody can pay, and pages can keep improving later.
- Trying to build an app
- Lovable is for one landing page this weekend. Say no to logins, databases and extra pages.
- Stripe is not ready
- Publish with the price visible and a way to contact the student. Hand the blocker to the technical lead; it must not stop the calls.
When you see
Call out
- Open the link on a second device before saying it works. Working in the editor is not working.
- Watch a partner try to pay without coaching, and fix the one place they hesitated.
