What Mageside does

Mageside is a private Magento 2 extension developer that designs, builds, and sells add-on modules for online retailers running on the Magento 2 e-commerce platform (Community and Enterprise editions). The product portfolio spans shipping management (Shipping Matrix Rates, Canada Post Shipping, Dimensional Shipping), pricing optimisation (Bulk Prices Updater, Price History), customer engagement (Subscribe to Newsletters at Checkout, Catalog Hover Image), promotional displays (Sale Countdown), and form management (Multiple Custom Forms), all configurable from the Magento admin panel without code changes. A Post-Purchase Upsell module has been added to the catalog, extending the company beyond pre-purchase merchandising categories.

The company operates a product-led, self-serve distribution model exclusively through its own e-commerce storefront at mageside.com, where customers browse the catalog, access demos and documentation, and purchase directly. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time perpetual extension licenses priced between approximately $50 and $100+, supplemented by optional paid installation services ($50 per extension) and extended support renewals priced at 30% of product cost (90-day support included by default). A portfolio of free extensions with full functionality is offered as a customer-acquisition and evaluation channel. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding or institutional ownership.

Mageside is headquartered in Ramsgate, United Kingdom, with a development and operations office in Cherkasy, Ukraine, and is led by founder Rostyslav Sabishchenko, who serves as CEO and developer. The customer base is global, serving Magento 2 merchants ranging from small and mid-market to enterprise-level online retailers, with no named customers, channel partners, or reseller relationships disclosed.
