- Commercial barter may also be referred to as "Retail Barter"
- A Commercial Barter Exchange is defined as a company that performs as a third party record keeper to facilitate transactions among members of the exchange using a non-cash currency called a trade credit. The barter company may be a member of the exchange, using the exchange currency to buy and sell goods and services on its own account.
- Commercial barter exchanges typically employ trade brokers. Trade brokers communicate information between members to facilitate trades. For example, a broker will put a member who is looking to purchase auto repair in touch with a member who they know provides auto repair.
