What leaves your card, and when.
- TodayNothing. Building the site is free, publishing it is free, and it is live for 48 hours on us.

- A month later$10, on the same card.
- Every month after$10 on the same date, until you cancel.
Your web address
Get your own name, without the usual afternoon.
A web address of your own — yourshop.ca — is the thing that goes on the van, the invoice and the shirt. Buy it from inside TradeForge and there is nothing to set up afterwards: we register it in your name, point it at your site and put the padlock on it. Usually live within the hour.
- Search and buy from your dashboard — no separate registrar account
- Registered in your name, not ours. It is yours to take anywhere
- Pointed at your site and secured with a padlock automatically
- Priced at cost plus 30% for the registration and the managing of it
- Paid by the year, when you buy it and each year you renew it — separate from the $10 a month
- Already own a name? Connecting it is free — we send you the two lines to paste

Questions
What people ask before they put a card in.
Answered the way the billing actually works, not the way we'd like it to sound.
Why a dollar?
It's the first month of the plan that keeps your site up, priced at a dollar so the month you decide costs you nothing to speak of. Building the site and publishing it are free either way. $10 a month from a month later, and you can cancel any month.
Do I need a card?
Not to build your site, and not to publish it. Once you publish, the site is live for 48 hours on us. To keep it up after that you add a card on your billing page: $1 for the first month, then $10 a month from a month later. A card on file is what keeps the site yours — it stays up without anyone chasing you for a renewal. Cancel any month from your dashboard.
What does the $10 cover?
Hosting, your TradeForge web address and domain management, your customers, quotes, jobs, crew and invoices, online booking, the lead inbox, Ask TradeForge and every update we ship. One site, one $10. A custom .ca or .com is optional and separate; its displayed TradeForge price includes registration, automatic setup and management.
What is Ask TradeForge?
It answers questions about your own business in plain English — what is on tomorrow, who owes you money, what you charged somebody last time — and it can draft a quote, an invoice or a message to your crew from what it finds. It only ever reads your records, it says so when there is nothing to find rather than making a number up, and nothing goes out to anybody until you have read it and pressed send. It is in the $10; there is no separate AI price.
Do you take my customers' money?
No. You get paid the way you always have, and the CRM is where you write down that it happened. We process your TradeForge plan payment and, only if you choose one, a separate custom-domain purchase or renewal through Stripe.
Can I cancel, and what happens the day I do?
You cancel from Plan & payments in your dashboard: one short question about why, then a confirm. No phone call. Your site stays up for the rest of the month you have already paid for, then comes down, and you are not charged again.
If I stop paying, do I lose my site and my photos?
Offline is not deleted. Your pages, photos, reviews, customers, jobs and leads stay in your account as you left them — subscribe again and the site is back up as it was, which matters if your trade is seasonal. If you never come back we hold the content for thirty days and then clear it out, same as the privacy page says.
My card fails on a Tuesday. Is my site down on Tuesday?
No. A card expires, a bank blocks something, it happens. Your site stays up for two weeks while the payment is retried, your dashboard shows the exact date it would come down, and updating your card any time before then clears the whole thing.
Can I run two businesses on one account?
Yes. Each site is its own $10 a month — one site, one subscription, one web address — and the customers, bookings and leads never mix between them. The dollar is for your first month with us, once.
I already have a website. Is this worth switching?
If yours takes bookings and you can change it yourself in two minutes, no. If it's four years old, you can't edit it, and the phone number on it is wrong, then yes. Build this one for nothing, look at both, and keep the one you'd rather send a customer to.
Does changing the look cost anything?
No, and it never will. All eleven designs, your colours, your heading font and your corners are part of the $10 — switch as often as you like and your words, photos, reviews and bookings come with you.
Free to build. Live for 48 hours, on us. Then $1 for your first month, $10 a month after.
No card to build it and none to publish it — a card only when you decide to keep it. Your site at yourbusiness.tradeforge.ca and your customer-management tools are all in the ten; a name of your own is optional and extra.
