How To Trade in Diablo 4
First off, to find players to trade with, Diablo 4 has its own dedicated chat channels for trading on Battle.net. You can use these channels to find others who would like to trade or browse trade offers with ease.
Once you've found someone to trade with in Diablo 4, follow the steps below to get the trading done:
- Invite the person you want to trade with to your party. This allows both players to be in the same World State in Diablo 4.
- Head to the trading destination of choice as agreed upon by both parties. We suspect that Kyovashad, the starting town, will become a trading hub.
- Get close to the character you want to trade with, and open the action wheel, then select "Invite to Trade".
- The other party must now accept the request to trade.
- Once a trade request has been accepted in Diablo 4, you can add items to the trade window.
- Once both parties are happy with the items in their respective trade windows, they can click on the button saying "Lock in Offer".
That seems quite easy to do. There are, however, some caveats, you can't trade items you currently have equipped on your character, and you can't trade items directly from your Stash, either. If anything gets changed in either trade window, you will need to click on the Lock in Offer button again.

While there is trading in Diablo 4, and the actual process is quite simple, some item and currency restrictions are in place. First up, in terms of currencies, only Gold is tradable, with all other currencies being locked to your Battle.net account or character.
