Trusted By Top Brands Worldwide:
Proven at scale
The rails, measured
Six teams, one integration
Who builds on this
Content-rewards + clipping platforms
Pay clippers per view across thousands of accounts. Wallets, balances, and withdrawals live inside your product, and the view counts come from the data API, not screenshots.
UGC marketplaces + agencies
Replace the Venmo + spreadsheet stack. Creators get KYC'd, paid, and 1099'd under your brand, in every payout method their country supports.
SaaS adding a creator program
You want creators promoting your product, not a payments department. A few API calls run the whole payout side, and because we're the merchant of record, the money-transmission headaches stay ours.
Internal tools at scale
Your ops team built an internal dashboard. Give it real rails: accounts created from an email, programmatic payouts, and per-creator performance in the same database.
Trend + analytics products
Post data on request, on credits. Build trend detection, creator scouting, or campaign reporting without running your own scraping farm.
Ad + measurement teams
Tie spend to posts to views across TikTok and Instagram. Refresh every 30 minutes or once a day, your call, one credit per request.
Payments · Social data
Two products, one stack
Payments API
The wallet, KYC flow, and withdrawal screens render inside your platform, in your colors. Creators never leave.
We are the merchant of record. Compliance, disputes, and every 1099 are on us, at no extra cost.
Payouts read as your company on the bank statement, not ours.
Every rail per country: standard and instant bank, PayPal, Venmo, crypto, with live FX shown at withdrawal.
One API call with an email creates the account. No creator signup flow, no separate app.
No subscription. Pricing is a per-agreement fee schedule, and we win by beating your current rate.
Social Data API
Call it, get the current numbers. Most endpoints cost one credit per request.
$1.50 per 1,000 credits public pricing, with volume deals below it. The expensive alternatives charge several times that.
Our own payouts, analytics, and rankings run on this data. If the scraping broke, our product would break with it.
Refresh on your schedule: customers run everything from 30-minute loops to daily pulls.
Integration
Three calls to production
# 1 · create the creator's account (email is all you need)
POST /v1/accounts {"email": "creator@example.com"}
→ account_id
# 2 · drop the wallet widget into your app (your colors, your brand)
<sideshift-wallet account="acct_123" theme="yours" />
# 3 · pay them (or let them withdraw inside your product)
POST /v1/payouts {"account": "acct_123", "amount_cents": 50000}

FAQ
Questions platforms ask
Will the API get deprioritized?+–
No, because we can't. SideShift's own product runs on these exact endpoints. If we neglected them, our own payouts would break before yours did.
Do creators need SideShift accounts?+–
No. Accounts are created through the API with an email. Your creators are yours.
What does integration take?+–
Account creation, one embedded widget, and payout calls. We support the integration directly.
What about our existing provider?+–
Bring the contract. Beating the incumbent's rate with a better-embedded product is the whole pitch.
Send us your payout rate. We send back one that beats it.
Tell us your current rate and volume. You get a fee matrix that beats it, with a sweetened first six months while you integrate. Buying payouts and data together drops the bundle price further. Every proposal includes uptime stats and platform references.
