    All upside has many uses. In this specific case, it means 'all profits.'

    You see the aforementioned use of 'all upside' mostly in marketing and sales scenarios.

    Hello dolfine

    When you don't understand an expression, you may look up the word in a dictionary online :
    Lien internet


    You'll see here that 'upside' means an 'advantage', therefore, a 'profit', whereas the contrary is 'a downside' = an inconvenience.
    good luck !
