Welcome to Toyago

First, what is a Toy Swap?

A Toy Swap is a simple concept with the goal of helping save money and extend the life of toys without filling up the landfill. Families bring in their unwanted toys and take home “new” toys that their kids can enjoy. 

A Toyago Toy Swap, however, has the added bonus of allowing you to earn money for your efforts! Who couldn’t use some extra cash these days? Let’s look at it this way:

Frequently Asked Questions.

Why sell tickets to a Toy Swap?

The host sets the cost of the Toy Swap tickets. Think about how much money one might spend to buy a new toy or multiple new toys. At a Toy Swap, you spend a minimal dollar amount to cover your ticket and opt into the swap. The return is that you get “new” toys (often multiple toys) for your kids at a much lower cost than buying those toys new. You also get to pass on your unused toys, keeping them from becoming clutter or trash. Not only that, but hanging out with friends or making new ones isn’t so bad either!

How do I make money?

Several ways! 

Host a Toyago Toy Swap to maximize your earning potential. As a host, you’ll get paid cash for every ticketed person who comes to your Toy Swap (75 percent of each ticket sold), plus you’ll receive referral bonuses when your guests and your guests’ guests sell tickets to their own Toyago Toy Swaps. Ten percent and five percent, respectively, of their Toy Swap ticket sales. You are also eligible to earn these same two levels of bonuses for anyone you refer to Toyago who hosts a Toy Swap.

You can also make money without hosting a Toy Swap. Anyone who has a Toyago account is automatically eligible to earn cash when they refer a friend who goes on to host a Toyago Toy Swap. You will earn ten percent of the total ticket sales for a Toyago Toy Swap hosted by a direct referral.

How do I get paid?

You have two options. (1) Get paid through PayPal. You will need a PayPal account for this option. (2) Get payment as a digital gift card (think prepaid cash card) through Google Tango Cards.

How much time does the process take?

It’s totally up to you! Toyago leads you through a hassle free process to create a Toy Swap that fits into your schedule and can be organized according to your availability. Host a ladies’ night, have some brunch and bubbly, loop in your community, or keep it small and low key. Let your capacity and personality be your guide.
