Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our membership plans
What's the difference between Free and Pro memberships?
Free membership allows you to browse the marketplace, view basic market prices, and read forum discussions. Pro membership unlocks the ability to create buying and selling posts, participate in forum discussions, access advanced market data and reports, and communicate directly with trading partners.
Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan later?
Yes, you can upgrade from Free to Pro at any time. If you need to downgrade from Pro to Free, you can do so when your current billing period ends. Your Pro features will remain active until the end of your paid period.
Is there a contract or commitment period?
No long-term contracts are required. Monthly plans can be canceled at any time. Annual plans offer a significant discount but are paid upfront for the year. We offer a 30-day money-back guarantee on all Pro plans.
How many team members can use my account?
Each membership is for a single user. If you need accounts for multiple team members, please contact our sales team about our corporate plans, which offer additional features and team management capabilities.
Do you offer discounts for larger companies?
Yes, we offer corporate plans for companies that need multiple user accounts or additional features. Please contact our sales team at sales@merlotraders.com to discuss your specific requirements.
What payment methods do you accept?
