Common questions
What does it cost?
Nothing to start, and you can publish on Spark's free plan at a spark.site address. Taking payments and using your own domain need a paid plan, from $25 a month. See pricing.
How do vendors pay?
Vendors choose Listed, monthly or annual, only after you approve their application, so nobody pays and is then turned down. Featured is an add-on with a capped number of slots per category. Payments go through your Stripe account.
Do couples need an account?
They can browse without one. To write to a vendor they sign in with an email code.
Are the vendors real?
No. The 100-plus vendors, and their photos are made-up demo data so you can see it working. Remove it all from Directory setup, then add your own vendors.
Do I need to know how to code?
No, those stay with the original business, and you choose your own address.
Who can I ask before starting?
Email support@spark.site and we'll answer.
