Question 1

What is SideMarket?

Accepted Answer

SideMarket is a marketplace for buying and selling digital products — SaaS apps, mobile apps, websites, and web applications. Sellers connect their revenue and traffic sources directly to their listing, so buyers see verified data instead of self-reported numbers.

Question 2

How is SideMarket different from other marketplaces?

Accepted Answer

Most platforms rely on sellers manually entering their revenue and traffic figures. On SideMarket, sellers connect verified sources — like App Store Connect, Google Play Console, Google Analytics, or RevenueCat — so the data you see is pulled directly from those platforms, not typed in by hand. We also support multi-platform listings. If your product exists as an iOS app, an Android app, and a web app, you can sell all of them together in a single listing — something most other marketplaces don't support.

Question 3

What types of products can I buy or sell?

Accepted Answer

SideMarket supports SaaS products, mobile apps (iOS and Android), websites and web applications, and multi-platform products (e.g. an app available on iOS, Android, and web sold as one listing).

Question 4

How long does a typical transaction take?

Accepted Answer

Once an offer is accepted, the full process typically takes 3–4 weeks: up to 3 days for the buyer to complete payment, up to 7 days for the seller to transfer the product, and a 14-day review period for the buyer to confirm everything is in order. If both sides move quickly and there are no issues, it can close faster. SideMarket's team stays in contact throughout to help keep things on track.

Question 5

Is it free to list?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Creating an account and listing your product is completely free — no listing fees, no upfront costs.

Question 6

Does my listing go live immediately?

Accepted Answer

Yes. As soon as you complete the required verifications, your listing goes live — there's no manual review or approval process on our end. The time it takes depends on how quickly you can connect your data sources, but most sellers are up in minutes.

Question 7

Can I list multiple products?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can create as many listings as you like. Each listing goes through its own verification and is managed independently.

Question 8

Can I sell a product that's live on iOS, Android, and web as one listing?

Accepted Answer

Yes — and this is one of the things that makes SideMarket different. If your product exists across multiple platforms, you can group them into a single listing and connect revenue sources from each one (App Store Connect, Google Play Console, and web analytics, for example). Buyers get the full picture in one place, and you don't have to split up what's really one product.

Question 9

Can I connect multiple revenue sources to one listing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. A single listing can have multiple verified sources attached — for example, RevenueCat for subscription revenue, AdMob for ad revenue, and Google Analytics for traffic. All verified data is shown together so buyers get a complete view of the product's performance.

Question 10

Which platforms are supported for verification?

Accepted Answer

Currently supported platforms include App Store Connect, Google Play Console, RevenueCat, Adapty, Google Analytics, Google AdMob, Google AdSense, and Stripe. More integrations are on the way — if there's a specific platform you'd like to see supported, let us know at support@sidemarket.io.

Question 11

Is it safe to connect my revenue and analytics accounts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. SideMarket uses read-only OAuth connections to verify your data. We can see your figures — we cannot make changes, withdraw funds, or access anything outside the specific data needed for verification. You can disconnect at any time.

Question 12

Can I edit or remove my listing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can edit or remove your listing at any time — as long as no transaction is in progress. Once a buyer's offer is accepted, the listing is locked until the deal is completed or cancelled.

Question 13

How do I know the numbers on a listing are real?

Accepted Answer

On most marketplaces, you're trusting whatever the seller has typed in. On SideMarket, revenue and traffic figures are pulled directly from the source — App Store Connect, RevenueCat, Google Analytics, and others — through read-only connections that sellers grant us. The numbers can't be edited by hand. Each listing clearly shows which figures are verified and which are self-reported, so you always know what you're looking at before making an offer.

Question 14

What's included in a sale?

Accepted Answer

Every seller specifies exactly what's included before the listing goes live — source code, customer list, social media accounts, email list, documentation, post-sale support, and more. You can see the full list of deliverables on the listing page before making an offer, so there are no surprises after the deal closes.

Question 15

Is my payment protected?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When you pay, the funds are held securely through Stripe — the seller can't access them until the product has been transferred to you and your 14-day review period has passed. If something doesn't match the listing during this window, you can raise a dispute before the money is released. SideMarket reviews the evidence from both sides and makes a determination.

Question 16

What if I don't receive everything that was listed?

Accepted Answer

After the product is transferred, you have a 14-day review period to go through everything carefully. If deliverables are missing or incomplete, you can raise a dispute and SideMarket will step in. The seller's payout stays on hold until the issue is resolved — so you're not left without recourse while a problem is being reviewed.

Question 17

Who helps with the handover process?

Accepted Answer

SideMarket's team stays in close contact with both sides throughout the transfer. Handing over a digital product — accounts, code, credentials, data — can be complex, and we're here to make sure nothing falls through the cracks. You don't have to figure it out on your own.
