Common Questions

For Tradespeople

How long is the free trial and what does it include?

Your first 3 months are completely free — no credit card required. During the trial you get full access to your chosen subscription tier, so you can receive quote requests, message customers, and build your profile before a single payment is taken.

What happens after the free trial ends?

You'll receive reminder emails at 30, 14, and 7 days before your trial ends. If you choose not to subscribe, your profile is deactivated but never deleted — all your reviews, photos, and data are preserved. You can reactivate at any time by choosing a subscription plan.

What is the difference between Basic, Professional, and Premium?

Basic gives you a full public profile, quote inbox, and customer messaging. Professional adds priority placement in search results, a featured badge, and up to 15 portfolio images. Premium gives you top-of-page placement in all searches, the Premium badge, unlimited portfolio images, and homepage featuring. See the full comparison on our Pricing page.

Can I list my business in Spanish and English?

Yes — your business description, service list, and affiliations can all be entered in both languages. SpainTrades automatically shows the correct language based on what the customer is browsing in.

What documents do I need to register?

You need your Spanish CIF (for businesses) or NIF (for sole traders), plus any relevant trade certifications or licences. For example, electricians need their REBT certification, gas engineers need their RITE certification. The more documentation you provide, the faster your verification is approved.

How does search ranking work?

Search results are ranked first by subscription tier (Premium → Professional → Basic), then by proximity to the customer's location, then by average rating. This means a Premium subscriber with a 4.5 rating will appear above a Basic subscriber with a 5.0 rating.

Can I cancel my subscription at any time?

Yes — cancel through the Stripe Customer Portal in your dashboard at any time. Your profile stays active until the end of the current billing period. There are no cancellation fees.

Is there a setup fee or contract?

No setup fees, no contracts, no minimum term. All plans are monthly (or annually at a discount). You can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel at any time.
