How it Works
Grow your business, buy what you need and save your cash.
Running any business today is tough. Marketing is expensive. Cash flow is tight. And sometimes, valuable time, inventory, or skills go unused. What if you could trade those extras for the things your business actually needs—without spending a dime?
That’s where we come in.
Exmerce is a modern barter community that helps local businesses grow through cashless trade. You offer your product or service, earn Exmerce Dollars, and spend them with other members in the network. It’s that simple.
Step 1
Offer your product/service
The same way you do already to your cash customers. Provide what your business does best to other Exmerce members.
Step 2
Earn Exmerce Dollars
Every time you sell something, you bank Exmerce dollars in your account. Check your balance anytime on our virtual platform or through the Exmerce mobile app.
Step 3
Spend within the community
Use your Exmerce Dollars to purchase products and services YOU need—from marketing and supplies to staff incentives and more!
