Ordering with SlydeBuy

SlydeBuy connects you with participating third-party retailers and coordinates delivery by an independent driver. Here's exactly what happens from the moment you start an order to the moment we Slyde by.

1

Choose your retailer and items

Browse participating local retailers and add items to your cart. Product names, descriptions, prices, and availability are provided and controlled by the retailer — not by SlydeBuy.

2

Tell us where and when

Enter your delivery address and any handoff instructions, and choose a delivery option where available (for example, a standard or a faster window). Availability depends on your area and retailer hours.

3

Review every charge before paying

At checkout your order is fully itemized — merchandise, delivery charge, marketplace service fee, any applicable surcharges, and any tip you choose. Your exact total is shown before you authorize payment. Nothing is charged until you confirm.

4

We shop your order

The retailer prepares your items. If something is unavailable, you may be offered a substitution to approve or decline where that option is supported, and unavailable items are handled per our refund policy.

5

A driver is dispatched

An independent driver is assigned to pick up your order and bring it to you. You'll be able to follow status updates and receive contact attempts if the driver needs to reach you.

6

We'll Slyde by

Your order is delivered to the address and instructions you provided. Any tip you added goes 100% to your driver and never reduces their base pay.

Multiple retailers, multiple deliveries. If your order includes items from more than one retailer, it may be fulfilled separately — with separate fees, drivers, timing, cancellations, or refunds. Details are shown at checkout and covered in our Delivery & Shipping Policy.

Who does what

Three roles, clearly separated

SlydeBuy

Operates the platform, coordinates delivery, displays all charges before payment, processes payment, and provides support. SlydeBuy is not the seller of the merchandise.

The platform

The retailer

Sells the merchandise and controls product descriptions, pricing, availability, and its own return eligibility for the goods.

The seller

The driver

An independent driver who picks up and delivers your order. Tips go entirely to the driver.

The delivery
For retailers

Interested in selling through SlydeBuy?

We're building relationships with retailers across the Emerald Coast corridor and the new markets we're opening. SlydeBuy can help you reach nearby customers who want the items you already sell, delivered the same way you run your store — you keep control of your products, prices, and availability.

Retailer onboarding, including payment and payout setup, is being finalized before launch. If you'd like to be considered as we open your market, reach out and we'll share details as onboarding opens.

For drivers

Want to deliver with SlydeBuy?

We'll be inviting independent drivers to complete deliveries across the Emerald Coast corridor and each new market we open. Tips you earn are always yours — 100% of every tip goes to the driver and never reduces base pay.

Driver onboarding and requirements are being finalized ahead of launch. If you're interested, get in touch and we'll let you know when applications open.
