Increased successful swaps by 2.8x and engagement increased by 3x for Travel Swap Shop
- Travel Swap Shop's platform experience wasn’t intuitive, scalable, or building enough trust to fuel growth.
- We reimagined the UX to simplify listings, enhance discovery, and increase trust across every step of the swap journey.
- Results: 2.8x increase in successful swaps, 50% reduction in abandoned listings, and 3x more engagement from users.


Travel Swap Shop is a peer-to-peer platform that lets users swap or sell unused travel bookings, experiences, and gear.
The Challenge

- Users struggled to create and manage listings due to a clunky interface
- Low trust during swaps — unclear verification, missing reviews, and confusing status updates
- Mobile experience lacked polish, making on-the-go travel swapping difficult
- Swap matching logic was unclear, leading to user frustration and platform drop-offs
