— The Barter API Team
The Platform
Two bots. One trading operation.
Barter API gives every trader a personal desk and every team a shared floor — coordinating bids, offers, and live market intelligence without leaving the tools they already use.
01 — Barter Desk
Your Personal
Trade Desk
A private bot that acts as your personal trade desk — composing structured bid and offer cards, receiving counterparty responses, and pushing live intel to your team floor.
- Create structured bid & offer cards in seconds
- Receive and review incoming bids from counterparties
- Push market intel and price levels to your floor
- Full log of every card sent and received
02 — Barter Floor
Your Team
Trade Floor
A shared team bot where live intel from every desk surfaces in one place — with structured voting on bids and offers, and admin-level pricing guidance for the whole team.
- Real-time intel feed from every desk on the team
- Vote on bids and offers as a team before responding
- Admins set and broadcast price levels team-wide
- Full audit trail of team decisions
Delivered entirely through WhatsApp. No new app to install. No new login to manage. Barter API runs inside the messaging tool your team already uses — so adoption is immediate.
How It Works
From first message
to executed trade.
Every step of your trade coordination — bid creation, team review, counterparty response — happens inside a structured WhatsApp conversation.
Trader composes a bid or offer card on the Desk
Commodity, volume, price, delivery terms — structured in seconds. The Desk bot formats it and holds it for action.
Card is pushed to the Barter Floor
The team sees the live bid or offer on their shared floor, alongside any market context the trader sends with it.
Team votes and lead sets the level
Team members react and vote. Admins or team leads confirm the bid/offer level and broadcast the final position.
Trader sends the card to counterparties
The approved card goes out to counterparties directly from the Desk. Responses come back into the same conversation.
Who It's For
Built for physical commodity trading teams worldwide.
Barter API is designed for the specific coordination challenges of physical commodity trade — where speed, discretion, and counterparty trust matter more than dashboards.
Commodity Traders
Individual traders who need to send structured bids, track counterparty responses, and keep their team informed without friction.
Trading Teams
Teams that need to coordinate across desks in real time — aligning on price levels, reviewing live bids, and making faster decisions together.
Trading Houses & Firms
Firms looking for structured, auditable trade coordination across their desk — without building proprietary internal tooling.
