How it works

Trading on Swappora, step by step

Swappora helps two people trade what they have for what they want — no money required. Here's the whole journey, from listing to swap.

1. 1

   List what you have

   Snap a few photos, add a short description, and set an estimated trade value. Then tell us what you'd trade it for — a category, a specific item, or even a service. It takes about two minutes.

2. 2

   Find what you want

   Browse the marketplace near you or nationwide. Our matching shows you people who want what you have — and what they could offer you in return — so good trades find you.

3. 3

   Make an offer

   Offer one item, several items, or a service. The other trader can accept, decline, or counter with a different mix. Nothing is final until you both say yes.

4. 4

   Work out the details

   Chat right in the app to ask questions and agree on condition and timing. Your email and phone number stay private.

5. 5

   Plan a safe meetup

   Pick a busy, well-lit public place together — like a police station safe-exchange zone, a library, or a shopping center. You both confirm the same place, date, and time before the trade is marked ready to meet.

6. 6

   Meet up and swap

   Look the items over in person, make the trade, and each tap TRADE COMPLETED in the app. Bring a friend if you can, and never feel pressured — you can walk away from any trade.

7. 7

   Rate each other

   Leave an honest rating after the trade. Good ratings build trust and help great traders stand out.
