Satellite Showroom Program
The Satellite Showroom
Program
Distribution infrastructure for powersports shops. Partner stores display our catalog. SxS Network handles fulfillment, warranty, MAP compliance, and customer service. Partners earn commission — no inventory, no overhead, no tech build.
About SxS Network
Colorado's premier side-by-side parts distributor, trusted by dealerships and enthusiasts across the region.
We partner with shops like Savage SXS Powersports to provide seamless access to premium aftermarket parts, accessories, and upgrades — all backed by our commitment to quality, fast shipping, and expert service.
Every order through a satellite embed is fulfilled and shipped directly by SxS Network.
A Cleaner Way to Extend Powersports Distribution
Most small powersports shops don't have the capacity to build and maintain a proper online catalog — and most vendors don't want their products displayed poorly on dealer-built DIY sites. The Satellite Showroom Program solves both.
For Partner Shops
A professionally-built, fully-managed storefront embedded on your existing website. No inventory to stock. No checkout to build. No customer service to staff. Earn commission on every sale.
For Vendors
Every partner site displays your products to the same professional standard — our catalog, our imagery, MAP-enforced pricing. One point of compliance across the entire network.
For Customers
Local-feel browsing experience backed by a full-service e-commerce operation. Fast shipping, real warranties, proper customer support — the professional experience every powersports buyer deserves.
Five Operating Rules That Never Change
The program is governed by five rules that apply to every partner, every vendor, every transaction. This consistency is what makes it work.
SxS Network is Always the Seller of Record
All transactions close on SxSNetwork.com — our Shopify, our payment processing, our dealer account. Partners never take possession of, transfer, or resell any products. No transshipping, no wholesale handoff, no inventory.
Professional Brand Presentation at Every Partner
The embedded storefront uses our catalog, our product imagery, our copy, our merchandising. No partner builds their own listings. Vendors get consistent, on-brand display across every partner in the network.
MAP Enforced on Every Display Page
Catalog grid, product modal, cart, checkout — MAP compliance is centralized and automatic. Partners can't deviate from displayed pricing on any channel they use to reference program products.
Fulfillment, Warranty, Customer Service — All on Us
Orders ship from our fulfillment network. Warranty claims route to our support team. Returns, refunds, exchanges, shipping inquiries — all handled centrally. Partners focus on driving traffic; we handle everything post-transaction.
Vendors Retain Full Control
Vendors are notified when new partners join the network. Any vendor can request specific partners be carved out from their product display — no questions asked, effective immediately. Vendor authority always supersedes partner participation.

Who Qualifies
We're selective about who represents the network. Every partner is vetted against these standards before an embed goes live.
Frequently Asked
Is this a sub-dealer or reseller arrangement?
No. Partners never take possession of products, never collect payment, and never function as resellers. The model is closer to an affiliate or referral storefront — the partner site displays our catalog, but every transaction closes on SxSNetwork.com.
This distinction matters legally: under every partner agreement, SxS Network remains the sole seller of record. Partners operate a display and referral channel, not a sales channel in the technical sense.
How does a vendor retain control once approved?
Three ways. First, vendors are notified when new partners join the network — you always know where your products appear. Second, vendors have a standing right of objection: request a specific partner be carved out from your catalog, we do it immediately, no questions. Third, you can withdraw from the program entirely at any time with written notice.
What's the commission structure?
Partners earn 10% of net sale price (excluding taxes, shipping, and discounts) on completed orders — orders that have shipped and passed the return window. Tiered commission based on monthly volume may be introduced at SxS Network's discretion as partners grow.
Commission is the sole compensation. No upfront fees, no hidden charges, no residuals owed beyond the 10% on completed sales.
How is MAP enforced across partner sites?
All pricing displayed on partner sites is pulled live from SxS Network's catalog via the Shopify Storefront API. Partners cannot modify, override, or discount displayed prices. MAP compliance is centralized and automatic — one compliance surface for vendors to monitor, not a dozen.
Partners who attempt to display products below MAP on any channel (website, social media, print, email) trigger immediate program termination under their agreement.
Who owns the customer data — and what protects the partner?
SxS Network owns the customer data as a matter of transaction of record, but the Partner Agreement includes three protections specifically designed to keep partners from being "hollowed out" over time:
Non-poach commitment: For the duration of the partnership, SxS Network will not run direct marketing campaigns (email blasts, retargeting ads, affiliate promos) targeting customers acquired through a partner's embed. The customer list is held neutral.
Attribution persistence: When a customer first buys through a partner's embed, that customer is attributed to the partner by email for six months. During that window, the partner earns commission on every subsequent order — whether through the embed or through SxSNetwork.com directly. Referral economy stays intact.
Partner opt-in at checkout: Customers can voluntarily opt in to receive marketing from the partner (events, installs, local services). Opted-in names and emails are shared with the partner monthly for their own list-building. No opt-in, no data sharing — fully consent-based.
How long does it take to launch a new partner?
From signed agreement to live embed: typically 2–3 weeks. The process runs through an 8-phase onboarding protocol covering qualification, agreement execution, vendor notifications, catalog curation, embed build, partner install, soft launch, and 30-day check-in.
Who should I contact with questions?
Tim Keenan, owner of SxS Network LLC, directly: mail@sxsnetwork.com or (719) 428-6837. Every program inquiry goes to the owner, not a support queue.
