Buy and sell pool service accounts — paid directly and securely through Stripe.
Routes change hands constantly — retirements, relocations, operators consolidating territory. Most of it happens on Facebook with a handshake and zero protection. Kicktide runs every deal through Stripe so buyers pay sellers directly and securely — no cash-app guesswork.
Two sides, one marketplace.
Whether you're retiring, scaling down, or growing fast — Kicktide is the only marketplace built specifically for pool & spa accounts.
Sell an account — or trade up.
Cash out, or roll the proceeds into Kicktide credit and put it straight toward an account that fits you better. Reinvest on-platform and we'll knock down your platform fee.
- Hand pick accounts from your route or the whole book
- Set your price
- You're paid directly through Stripe on your own payout schedule

How a Kicktide deal closes.
Every transaction follows the same handoff flow so both sides know what to expect. From listing to transfer-complete, typically 1–2 weeks.
- Step 1
List or browse
Sellers list their monthly revenue, equipment, and warranty terms. Buyers search the map by area and price.
- Step 2
Buyer commits
Buyer reviews + commits. Payment runs securely through Stripe, directly to the seller's own Stripe account.
- Step 3
Onsite inspection
Seller proposes a walkthrough date; buyer accepts. They meet at the property, walk the equipment, and confirm everything matches what was listed.
- Step 4
Customer handoff
Seller introduces the buyer to the customer via email (we provide a polished template). The buyer then reaches out to the customer to confirm the handoff.
- Step 5
Transfer confirmed
Buyer + seller mark the transfer complete. Both sides keep records of the full transaction.
- Step 6
Seller Warranty
Sellers stand behind what they list. If something material turns out to be wrong, you may be eligible for a refund from the seller during the warranty period.
Why pool & spa pros use the Kicktide marketplace.
Built for this industry — not retrofitted from a generic listings site.
A marketplace nobody else has.
Chemical-recording software tracks your service, but none of it helps you buy or sell a route. Kicktide is the only platform with a built-in marketplace for the industry.
Secure payments through Stripe.
Every deal is paid through Stripe, directly to the seller. No bag-of-cash handoffs. No screenshot-and-pray Venmo transactions.
Seller Warranty.
Sellers stand behind what they list. If something material turns out to be wrong, the buyer may be eligible for a refund during the warranty period.
Density-first search.
Search the map by area to find the accounts that cluster where you already drive — not generic 'cheap routes.'
Verified sellers.
Sellers verify their identity through Stripe, and we confirm their business address before a listing goes live — real accounts, not vague Facebook posts.
Marketplace pricing.
Simple and transparent. Sellers list free — you only pay when a deal closes.
