How does Secondslide work?
Good question - we do things a bit differently…
Unlike traditional team store businesses, Secondslide is not an apparel company.
Secondslide is a platform that connects teams like yours to top sports brands and apparel vendors through a custom online store built for your team, club or organization.
With Secondslide, you make money selling everything from team-branded apparel & merch to New Balance footwear, effortlessly.
Don’t let some team store company keep the profits that should be yours.

Why Does Secondslide Have a Cost When Traditional Team Stores Don't?
It's because Secondslide isn't just another team store; it's a game-changing revenue platform guaranteed to make you money.
Most apparel companies give you a store; we give you a sustainable, profit-rich ecosystem. Let's let the real-world numbers do the talking:
Bishop Kelly Case Study:
With Secondslide:
Sales: $8,416
Profits kept: $2,943 (35%)
With Traditional '5% Return' Team Stores:
Sales: $8,416
Profits kept: $420.80 (5%)
This isn't about comparing apples to apples. It's about comparing the old way of doing things with a fresh, profit-driven approach. With Secondslide, you're stepping into the future of team monetization. The difference? A whopping $2,522.20 in profits for the same amount of sales!
While other platforms might offer you a "free" team store, the numbers don't lie. That "free" often comes at the expense of the funds you could be raising for your team.
With Secondslide, you're not just another account. You're a partner, and we believe in sharing the success. The question isn't why Secondslide has a subscription fee; it's why are you settling for less elsewhere?
Secondslide Guarantee
The results speak for themselves…the average team makes $950+ in the first 3 months, more than covering the annual subscription cost.
To show you how confident we are that this is a win for your team, if you’re a youth, high school, or college sports team, we guarantee that your Corner Store will make you money, not cost you money. If you don’t make back the full subscription cost within 12 months, we’ll work for free until you do.
FAQ
-
Secondslide is an apparel, merch, and gear platform built to make money for your team. Every item sold in your store, whether it has your logo on it or not, puts money into your team’s pocket. And not just chump change like with the other guys. Stores run at an average 30% profit margin.
-
Secondslide creates a 24/7/365 online retail shop for your team using your logos. Your team and its fans will be able to go to your custom URL, find their favorite items, check out, and have their items shipped and delivered, hassle free.
Every item in your store has a Team Price - that’s your “cost.” We provide recommended Retail Prices (that you can choose to lower or raise if you wish). Your profit equals Retail Price minus Team Price (minus card processing fees). Profits are paid out quarterly.
-
We carry a number of name brands, such as Adidas, Champion and Columbia. Because we are focused on quick turnaround times and maximizing profits back to your program, we do not carry certain name brands that carry impactful pricing and delivery constraints.
-
Absolutely. We love customizing gear! Our Secondslide line is sublimated and fully customizable.
-
Crease Crank allows your store to make money off of the world’s second most popular beverage while also donating to the Give & Go Foundation.
-
Your team makes money on all items in your Corner Store. From balls to hats to sweatshirts, this is your store, these are your profits to make.
-
Because of the range of products in the corner store (cases of balls, cleats, t-shirts, shoes, etc) some items will take slightly longer to ship than others. Apparel orders average 10-day delivery.
-
Because all of our items are custom made-to-order, we do not accept returns or exchanges. However, if you find an item to be defective, please reach out to support@secondslide.io and we’ll issue a refund or reprint.
-
The Secondslide team is working constantly to add new apparel products, equipment to the gear closet, and footwear options. Please look out for emails from Secondslide notifying you of any new products that are available in stores!
-
Sure can. We can add a tab to the store entitled “Player Packs” with any gear that will be included in the pack. Here is an example of a store with Player Packs. Please contact support@secondslide.io to spin up your Player Pack tab. Goodbye labeling plastic bags, nasty spreadsheets, and piled-up excess inventory.
-
Corner Stores have an annual fee of $619.
-
The average team recoups the $619 fee in the first 3 months of having a corner store. That leaves 9 months to drive pure profits.

Your profits can either be directly deposited into the team bank account, or can be left in Secondslide to be applied to future purchases.

Payments are made at the end of each calendar quarter.
-
This margin varies based on the item, but across all items, teams tend to net an average of 30% of profits from items sold on the Corner Store.
