How TapTrade works

TapTrade is a peer-to-peer trading platform. No money changes hands — just people swapping things they have for things they want.

01

List what you have

Post items you no longer need — photos, condition, and what you're looking to trade for. Clear listings make it easier for people to send you a fair offer.

02

Tap what you want

Browse The Exchange and tap anything you'd trade for — no commitment, just saved interest. Owners see a tap count on their inventory, not who tapped.

03

Accept an offer

Make an offer from a listing page (pick what you're trading). When someone accepts your offer — or you accept theirs — it's a match. A chat opens so you can coordinate the swap.

04

Meet and swap

Coordinate a meetup, inspect each other's items, and make the trade. Local, in-person, no shipping, no fees.
