How it works

A new customer walks in.
Taps their card. You get paid.

Three steps. No new equipment. No integration. No friction.

1
List your business — free, in 3 minutes
Fill in a short form with your business name, category and address. We review it and have you live in the SideUp directory within 48 hours. No account setup, no contract, no fee.
2
Employees discover you on the SideUp app
When employees open SideUp and search for places to spend their benefits card nearby, your business appears. They can filter by category — food, fitness, wellness, retail — and see your listing with a map pin.
3
They pay with their SideUp card — you receive the money
The SideUp card is accepted anywhere that accepts Visa. Nothing new to install, no integration needed. No commission taken. The full payment amount goes directly to you, exactly as with any card transaction.

"Imagine a Friday lunchtime. An employee from a nearby company opens SideUp, sees your café at the top of the list, and walks in. They order, tap their card, and leave a 5-star review. That's the SideUp effect — and it starts the moment you list."

— The SideUp Team, Manchester
