Two ways to swap.

Shop Swap connects independent brands and creatives who want to temporarily exchange shops and studios in different cities. Trade directly with someone who wants your space, or host first and spend the credits you earn whenever it suits you.

Two makers handing over keys
Option one

Direct swap

You use their space, they use yours. Same period or different weeks, agreed between you.

No credits involved
Both spaces stay open and working
Best when the fit is mutual
Option two

Shop Credits

Host someone, earn credits, spend them elsewhere. Nobody has to want your city at the same moment.

Earn by hosting, spend when you travel
Rates set by size, city and equipment
Credits never expire

Four steps, start to finish

1
List your space

Photos, size, what it is suitable for, and the equipment that comes with it. Mark only the weeks you are away.

2
Find another space

Browse by city, dates, size and fit-out. Every listing shows what you can actually do there.

3
Agree the exchange

Propose a direct swap or request with credits. Message first, settle dates and handover together.

4
Go and work

Keys, codes and house notes arrive in the app. Both sides review afterwards.

Before anyone gets a key

Handing over a working shop is not the same as lending a flat. Every member clears the same checks.

What it covers

Verification, the agreement templates, support during an exchange and dispute mediation.

What you pay

One annual fee. Exchanges themselves are free, whether direct or with credits.

What it is not

Not a sublet, not a rental listing and not a fee per night. Nobody is a landlord here.

Questions people ask first

Do I have to swap with the same person?

No. Credits exist so you can host one member and travel to another.

Who looks after my customers?

Your guest runs their own project in the space. Most hosts leave a note in the window explaining the exchange.

What if something is damaged?

The signed agreement covers condition and liability, and we mediate if the two of you cannot settle it.

Can I swap a studio for a shop?

Yes. Many members do exactly that, a maker taking a retail week and a brand taking workshop time.

Your space is already working for you.

List it in ten minutes. Choose only the weeks you are away.
