Swop Tiers
The participation of the community is what makes swopping a successful and accessible alternative to shopping.
At Swop Society, our pillars of swopping are built on ensuring value for value.
​
The success of wardrobe rotation lies within our members parting with items which they feel would be a fair trade in and out, and leaving with items of similar trade value.
To ensure an enjoyable and valuable swopping experience at our pop-up events, we have introduced a tiering system to value your items.
Steps

You will receive the amount of credits of value in each tier.
