HOW swapup WORKS
Connect.Contribute.Grow.
swapup brings people, skills, communities, learning, and opportunity together — so it's easier to find what you need, share what you have, and keep moving forward.
Create your profile
Share your skills, services, interests, needs, and the communities you're part of. Your Community Profile grows through real participation.
Discover what's around you
Find relevant people, businesses, organizations, communities, events, and opportunities based on what matters to you.
Connect and agree
Reach out, talk through what each person needs or can offer, and agree on how the exchange will work.
Direct exchange, swap Credits, cash, a combination, or Pay It Forward.
Complete the exchange. Build trust.
Finish the exchange, share your experience, and strengthen your Community Profile through real participation.
WAYS VALUE CAN MOVE
Flexible by design,
so more people can participate.
Direct exchange
Trade a skill, service, item, or experience directly with another member. No money required.
swap Credits
Recognize value when a direct trade doesn't line up. One swap Credit has a reference value of $1, but credits are not cash and cannot be redeemed for cash.
Cash or hybrid
PlannedFor exchanges where payment makes more sense, members can use cash or combine methods within one agreement.
Pay It Forward
Give time, knowledge, skills, or resources without expecting anything in return — and help someone else move forward.

can lead somewhere bigger.
