The BarterFlip System

How BarterFlip Works

A circular value system — not direct barter, not cash. Something better.

2

List Your Skills

What can you do? Web design, tutoring, cooking, photography, handyman work, writing? List your services and set a credit price. You're not an employee — you're a community contributor.

3

Help Someone — Earn Credits

When someone books your service and you complete it, credits transfer from them to you. A platform fee (10%) is deducted to support the infrastructure. The rest is yours.

Example: You offer a "1-hour guitar lesson" for 30 credits. Student pays 30 credits. You earn 27 credits (90%). BarterFlip keeps 3 credits.

4

Use Credits for Services

Spend your earned credits on any service in the marketplace. Need a logo? A website? Help moving? Fitness coaching? Browse hundreds of services from your community.

Understanding Credits

Credits ARE:

  • Internal platform tokens representing earned value
  • Earned by providing services to others
  • Spendable on any service in the marketplace
  • Protected by fraud-prevention controls

Credits are NOT:

  • Cash or currency with independent value
  • Transferable to bank accounts
  • A form of cryptocurrency
  • Guaranteed to maintain value

Per BarterFlip Terms of Service: Unused credits may expire after extended inactivity. Users are responsible for their own tax obligations.
