How Swapify Works

Swapify lets you exchange your premium subscription for other high-value tools. It’s a secure, zero-cost way for founders to scale their technical stack through direct collaboration.

1. List Your SaaS Product

Add your product details in the Swapify directory. Configure its logo, category tags, a description of the target audience, and the product URL so that other founders can discover it.

2. Setup Stripe Monetization

Connect your Stripe account securely. Map custom tiers using Option 1 (map price plans belonging to a single Stripe product) or Option 2 (map completely separate Stripe products directly to your custom tiers).

3. Earn Swap Credits

Provide verified feedback (shoutouts) to other listed products. Writing reviews helps and encourages other founders in the ecosystem, and directly increments your swap limit by +1 credit for each review.

4. Find Matching Partners

Explore the community directory using category and tag filters. Inspect product details, ratings, reviews, and average swap volume to find matching SaaS stacks or marketing channels.

5. Propose and Lock Swaps

Send a swap request proposing a tier-for-tier exchange. Once the recipient accepts, the contract is locked. The platform prevents terms from being modified during active cycles.

6. Automated Fulfillment

Upon acceptance, Swapify calls Stripe to dynamically generate single-use coupons and promotion codes. Enter these codes at checkout to unlock each other's stack with zero cash outlay.
