Get paid in things you actually want
Trade your photos, reels, and stories for the products and services you'd already buy. Local cafes, indie skincare, tech startups, designers — all paying in store credits, not flaky invoices.
Why creators love it
Built for creators who'd rather build a relationship with a brand than chase a paycheck.
No agency fees, no commissions
Brands pay you directly in store credits. We never take a cut, and there's no middleman lining their pocket on top of yours.

How it works
- 1
Build your profile
Pick the categories you create in, drop your IG/TikTok handles + follower counts, and add a few portfolio links so brands can see your style at a glance.
- 2
Browse & reach out
Filter open listings by category, sort by credit value or freshness, and tap "Contact to collaborate" on anything you like. A conversation opens with the brand instantly.
- 3
Negotiate the deal
Talk through the brief in chat. When you're aligned, send a structured deal proposal — credits, deliverables, platforms, date to completion. The brand accepts and the collab is locked in.

Create the work
Shoot, edit, post. Once your reels and stories are live, click "Mark complete" and drop the links in the submission form. The brand sees them in your chat as a clean card.
- 5
Get your credits
After the brand approves, the collab is marked complete. Your store credits are yours to use, and you can rate the brand publicly so other creators know how it went.
Free to join. Free to collab.
No platform fee, no listing fee, no commission. The credits the brand offers are yours, full stop. Bread&Barter is just the rails — the deals are between you and the brand.
