01  /  The storefront

Your customers see your brand. Not ours.

A white-label catalog with search, category filters, specials, variants, low-stock cues and a cart that remembers — on your colors, fonts, logo and domain. The screen above is a real Sidecar storefront, themed end to end.

Catalog & cart

Everything a shopper needs, nothing they don't.

The catalog is dynamic — categories, specials, bundle pricing and variants all flow from your admin. Customers browse, filter, and check out for pickup or delivery in a few taps.

  • Variants & bundle tiers — sizes, weights, bundles — "order more, pay less."
  • Specials & low-stock badges drive urgency automatically.
  • Pickup or delivery scheduling with real time-slots at checkout.

06  /  The case for Sidecar

Steadier than the big platforms. Fairer than the niche ones.

Mainstream platforms can freeze payouts and close accounts. Industry platforms take a cut of every order and keep your store on their domain. Sidecar does neither.

Payments
Restricted under acceptable-use policies — accounts closed, payouts frozen.
Cash, Cash App & Bitcoin at checkout.
Account vetting
Open storefronts — no way to screen who can place an order.
Approve who can buy before they can check out.
Discretion
Public storefronts only — no login wall or invite-only mode.
Private Mode login wall — members-only access.
Payout stability
Payouts can be frozen or withheld for prohibited verticals.
Pay on pickup — no frozen payout to wait on.
Restricted catalog
Built for the mainstream — categories they ban are banned everywhere.
Built for the categories they ban — it's your catalog.
Pricing model
A cut of every order — forever.
Flat monthly price — keep every dollar of the sale.
Your storefront
An embedded menu on their domain, not yours.
Your own branded store on your own domain.
Your customers
They keep the customer list and the search traffic.
You own the customer relationship and the traffic.
07  /  Common questions

We heard you.

The questions merchants in restricted categories always ask — answered plainly.

How does Sidecar handle compliance for restricted-category businesses?

Sidecar is a commerce platform, not a legal advisor. We build the tools — storefront, checkout, inventory, drops — so your shop runs. Staying compliant with the rules in your jurisdiction is on you and your counsel. What we do is make sure the platform itself doesn't ban you for being in your category.

How do I keep my storefront discreet?

Private Mode puts a login wall in front of your entire storefront — no one who isn't signed in and approved can see your catalog, prices, or products. Members-only access by default. You control who's approved.

Will I get deplatformed?

Sidecar is built for businesses that need a stable home online — you won't be cut off here for being in your industry. Where mainstream platforms restrict whole categories under their acceptable-use policies, Sidecar welcomes them. We're built to serve the kind of shop you run, and we're here for the long haul.

Who owns my store data and customer list?

You do. Your storefront runs under your brand and domain. Your customer data is yours — we don't sell it, share it, or hold it hostage. If you ever leave, you leave with your data.

What is the waitlist, and what happens after I join?

Right now Sidecar is invite-only — every store is set up manually by our team. When you join the waitlist, we reach out directly to learn about your shop and get you set up. Self-service onboarding is on the roadmap; for now, you get a hands-on setup.

08  /  Pricing

No tiers. No surprises.

Two flat numbers. One waitlist request.

$300
/ month

A branded storefront on your own domain — replaces juggling DMs and a Linktree with a store that actually makes you money.

$400
one-time setup

A freelancer charges $1–2k to build the same store. We build it, host it, and keep it running.

Your business deserves a platform that gets it.

Mainstream platforms turn away restricted merchants. Sidecar doesn't. Join the waitlist and we'll set up your store — your brand, your domain, your rules.
