One question Ask Bartercard are often asked is, “Where can I spend my Bartercard dollars?” Trade dollars are like real cash. One trade dollar is equivalent to one New Zealand dollar. And there is no difference between cash and trade dollars when it comes to recording sales as income or purchases as an expense or asset. Trade dollars are exchanged between members to pay for goods and services. Let’s say, for example, you need to buy something for your business; you can use your trade dollars to pay for it when transacting with other members in the Bartercard community.
