Frequently asked.
How do trade credits work?+
You earn trade credits when members purchase your products or services. You can spend those credits on any listing in the Barterfy network, and at the point of sale, no cash required.
Is Barterfy a cryptocurrency?+
No. Trade credits are a business-to-business accounting unit backed by real goods and services within the network. They are not a digital currency or investment instrument.
Do I pay cash fees?+
Core transactions are settled in trade credits. Membership tiers may include monthly and transaction fees, see the Pricing page for details.
What is a 0% interest trade credit line?+
Qualified members can receive an interest-free trade credit line to make purchases now, which is repaid from future trade sales. No credit card debt, no interest charges.
How does the AI agent work?+
Barterfy's AI scans your wish list, finds member businesses that match, proposes trades automatically, and settles payments at checkout using your trade credits.
What is a zero trade deficit?+
The total trade amount in positive account balances is equal to the total trade amount in negative account balances. A trade credit deficit occurs when a traditional barter exchange uses trade credit for payment of their own expenses before they earn the trade credits.
