Pricing

Pay only what you consume.

Every action on CargoPay has one price, and you pay it when you take the action. There is no subscription to sit under, no licence per user, and no monthly minimum to reach. A part of the platform you never touch never costs you anything.

The whole price list

This is all of it. One table, nothing held back for a sales call, and the joining fee sitting in the same list as everything else because it is the same kind of thing: work you consume once.

What you consume Price Charged to
Verification review Once, when you join. A person checks your documents against official registries, validates your VAT number and sets up your payout account. Charged to: The joining company
€799 once The joining company
Post a transport request Charged when the request reaches the board and carriers can see it. Charged to: The shipper posting it
€19 per request The shipper posting it
Bid on a request Charged once per bid. Revising a bid you already placed costs nothing. Charged to: The carrier bidding
€3 per bid The carrier bidding
Issue an eCMR The consignment note, generated from the shipment and signed electronically. Charged to: Whoever issues it
€1 per document Whoever issues it
Issue an eFTI or DeCA document The regulatory document set, generated from the same shipment record. Charged to: Whoever issues it
€0.10 per document Whoever issues it
Register a vehicle Once per truck or trailer, not per month it stays on your fleet. Charged to: The fleet owner
€1 per vehicle The fleet owner
Take a dock booking Charged to the site that owns the bay, which is why visiting carriers book a slot without an account and without paying you. Charged to: The site owner
€1 per confirmed booking The site owner
Take a payment Charged on money actually captured. Stripe's own card processing is separate and shown below. Charged to: The party being paid
1% per captured payment The party being paid

All prices exclude VAT.

Where the meter is not running

A per-action price is only worth trusting if you can see where nothing is being counted.

What a month actually costs

Two ordinary months, priced line by line. Your own month is whatever you did in it.

A carrier

Four trucks, bidding actively

Bids placed × 12 €36
eCMRs issued on the 3 loads won × 3 €3
DeCA documents for the Spanish legs × 2 €0.20
The month €39.20

Plus 1% on what they were actually paid. The four trucks were registered once, in whichever month they joined the fleet, and cost nothing again after that.

A shipper

Four loads out, one warehouse

Transport requests posted × 4 €76
eCMRs issued × 4 €4
Dock bookings taken at your warehouse × 20 €20
The month €100

The 20 dock bookings were made by 20 visiting carriers who paid nothing and needed no account. A quiet month, with no requests posted and no trucks at the bay, costs nothing at all.

How the charging behaves

Three rules, and they are properties of the code rather than promises about it.

One action, one charge

Each charge is tied to the thing it paid for. Retrying a submission that already went through, or revising a bid you already placed, debits nothing a second time.

No balance, no action

The debit happens inside the same transaction as the action. If your wallet cannot cover it, the action does not happen. You cannot run up a balance you did not agree to.

You top up, we draw down

Your wallet holds a balance you choose to put there. Every debit against it is a line you can read back, against the exact document, bid or booking it paid for.

The one price we do not set

The 1% above covers CargoPay. Stripe charges its own card processing fee on top, directly, and it depends on the payer's card. We list it here rather than let you find it on a statement:

EEA standard cards: 1.5% + €0.25
EEA premium cards: 2.8% + €0.25
UK cards: 2.5% + €0.25
International cards: 3.15% + €0.25

Currency conversion adds 2% when a payment arrives in a currency other than euro. These are Stripe's published rates for Spain, not ours, and Stripe can change them: check their pricing page for the current figures.

Start with one shipment

You are not committing to a plan, because there are no plans. Open an account, run one load, and pay for the handful of things that load actually used.
