Barter / Consumer MarketplaceMaking exchange simple again.
A digital bartering marketplace that enables people to exchange products directly with each other. What you no longer need may be exactly what someone else is looking for.

Visit OK Barter02 / The Challenge
Give useful products a direct path to new value.
Many people own useful products they no longer need while looking for something else. Selling one item, receiving payment, and then buying another adds steps to that journey.
The challenge was to make direct exchange approachable for everyday users while supporting the connected workflows of a two-sided marketplace.
- List products for exchange
- Discover other users' products
- Find relevant barter opportunities
- Connect with interested users
- Negotiate and complete exchanges
- Manage listings and barter activity
03 / The Solution
What would you exchange for this?
Probity designed and developed OK Barter around product discovery and direct exchange. Users create listings with product details, images, and exchange preferences. Others explore available products, identify interesting opportunities, and initiate a barter.
The platform connects listings, discovery, user interaction, and exchange management in one streamlined experience.
04 / Core Experience
From listing a product to finding a possible exchange.
Discover products
Explore products available for barter across different categories in a discovery-focused marketplace.
Find exchange opportunities
Identify products of interest and connect with their owners to explore a possible exchange.
Barter & negotiate
Communicate and work toward a mutually agreed exchange, with an interaction model built around barter.
Manage listings
Manage active listings and keep track of barter activity from a single account.
05 / A Different Marketplace Model
Make a new exchange workflow feel natural.
Traditional marketplaces follow a discover, buy, pay, and deliver journey. Barter requires both participants to find a relevant exchange, discuss it, and agree. Our design keeps discovery visual and familiar while making each next step clear.
