Frequently Asked Questions

We offer 24/7 online professional support directly from our developers. All our employees are real, friendly humans working from their homes. We love answering questions, solving problems, and helping you build your site.

You can open a new ticket here.

Support does not include:

• Mentoring for technologies CSS, PHP, HTML, JavaScript or other technologies used in our software.
• Sign up or support for third-party services.
• Customization of software or themes.
• System administration or server setup
  
• Love counseling (a pity since we are awesome at it.)

We provide support in English and Spanish.

We don't offer phone support because we truly believe it wouldn't be possible to provide the same effective assistance over the phone. We decided to keep our support online for a few reasons:

    We can instantly view your website, account activity, system details, and other information so we can troubleshoot effectively.
    Building a website is a visual process. We frequently ask you to send us screenshots, videos, and links to help us see what you’re seeing. We can also send you screenshots and videos to guide you in the right direction.
    It's faster. We can quickly get to the bottom of your questions without putting you on hold.
    Online support keeps detailed records in one place. This ensures nothing gets lost in translation if we need to escalate your issue. We'll always have access to previous tickets so you won't have to repeat questions.

Currently, we accept Credit Cards, Paypal and Bank transfer as payment methods. We accept Paypal upon request, you can use credit cards, and it's available in more than 160 countries worldwide.

Your plan will be automatically renewed seven (7) days before expiring, using the same payment method you used with your first purchase. You will be charged the original amount of the product without any coupons applied. We will notify you if we can not charge you in advance so you won't lose any work on your classifieds site.

You can cancel your subscription anytime you want to get renewed, you just need to go to our panel->details (choose your domain )->cancel subscription.

Cloud: You have 30 days after the expiry date to renew, or you will lose all your data.

Self-Hosted: You will not have support, updates for next releases and your free ios and android apps will stop working!  Your license will keep working.

Since January 1st, 2015, EU made a significant change to its VAT regulations that require businesses to pay VAT according to the locations of consumers. This was taken, mainly, because of large companies that have been avoiding higher taxes by establishing businesses in places with lower VAT. Unfortunately, this also put a burden on independent creators who sell digital products to customers in Europe.

At Yclas, we will collect that VAT and register it on our MOSS agency. You do not need to worry about anything. If you are a company registered on the VIES, you can edit your profile and add your EU VAT number, and we will not charge VAT if it's a validly registered company.

All our prices are expressed in USD, United States Dollar.

You can cancel your Yclas subscriptions at any time without needing to contact us. For that please go to My sites -> Details -> Cancel Subscription.

Your website is set to auto-renew, and we follow these refund policies:

• We don't offer refunds for any cloud plan. We offer 15 days free trial before you buy, no credit card required, so you can test properly.
  
• We don't offer refunds for downloaded goods or self-hosted products.
• We don't offer refunds for consultancy or development jobs.

Please check our updated terms and conditions if you have any further questions.

You can use any language you wish. The translations are not done by us.

Currently, we translate and maintain two languages:

• Spanish (from Spain traditional)
• English (USA/UK traditional)

With any plan, you can use all of our mobile-friendly themes with any scheme available for the template. You can change it whenever you want, and as many times you want!

This gives you access to almost unlimited different looks and feels options to choose from.

If you do not have a domain name you can buy one here.

With this option, you will be able to use your own domain name such as "mydomain.com" instead of "mydomain.yclas.com."

After creating your site, you can go to your site details, and from there you can click on a button called "custom domain." Follow the instructions detailed there.

About WWW.

"WWW." it's a subdomain, your domain is "http://yourdomain.com/ " if someone mistakenly decides to type the three extra "WWW," he will be redirected to the real domain "http://yourdomain.com/" so you won't lose any visit. This is much better and easier because the "WWW" does not mean anything.

When you upgrade to a paid plan in Yclas.com you get a 1 year free .shop domain name or a 50% discount on .com / .net  / .org domain name for the first year.

You will get a voucher to redeem at hover as soon as you pay. Check your email!

Q: Can I have direct access to the Database?

A: No you can not. Yclas is a hosted service, and we do not provide direct access to your database. Think of it like Gmail: You do not have raw access to the data directly since it's "shared with many others."

Q: Can I have direct access to the Files via FTP?

A: No you can not. Yclas is a hosted service, and we do not provide direct access to files since all clients have the same files. This is not a traditional web hosting services. If you need any modification, feel free to contact us.

With SSL encryption, you give to your customers an extra step of security. It's not mandatory to have it, but you will need it to auto-locate customers and for many payment gateways like Stripe, etc.

We will set an SSL certificate that isn't provided by us. For this, you will need to change your DNS and point them to the ones we will send you.

Be sure your plan does include SSL encryption before requesting us.

How to get an SSL certificate for your domain:

1. Be sure you have a plan with SSL on Yclas.com.
2. Register at Cloudflare.com (it is free!).
3. Point your domain name to the DNS that Cloudflare provides you.
4. Activate Flexible SSL see image.
5. Go to my sites
6. Click on details of the domain you are interested
7. Click on Activate SSL and confirm
8. Start working!

If you want to upgrade or downgrade your domain to a better plan, you can do it! You need to choose a new plan from the pricing page and make a payment. That will be effective immediately.

Bear in mind that the expiration date of your domain will be the date of the purchase + the number of days that your plan had based on the price of the new plan. We round up.

We do not have a tool to export your site since you are in a shared environment.

What we can do is export your site manually and import it into your new hosting. This has a cost of $180.

You can put any banner you want using Yclas service. Can be any HTML code you wish from any Ad networks.

If you want to use Google Adsense banners, they will not be displayed if you are using our free domain Yclas.com. This is because Google Adsense banned all the domains at *.yclas.com due the fact that customers were generating fake clicks on their own ads. We can not restore that, we have tried contacting Google in multiple times.

If you still want to use Google Adsense, you can do it, but you need to use your own domain. This feature is available in all of our plans.

We are sorry about the situation, and we hope to get Google to lift the ban on the domain anytime soon.

We are proud to have a 99% uptime. But you can check anytime you want our service status here.

If your plan has a limitation on Advertisements, you will receive an email to inform you when you reach the 90% of your allowed capacity. If you delete ads, you will have more space for posting, and you will be able to continue using the same plan.

If we detect that only spam ads are being posted, or used in the wrong way, we will contact you to fix the issue.

You can use your Yclas Cloud solution to host any kind of legal content in the US.

We focused our development on Android and iOS. Both are native apps written from scratch and connected to your site via our API. With iOS and Android, meaning that you will reach 90% of the population.

No, you need the website to manage the site, create categories, locations, ads, users, etc., but you can set your marketplace business just like the app.

No, we developed an API that connects to your current site, and we extract all the information and show them in your app. You won't lose any data, users or configuration (locations & categories).

You will need a Yclas Cloud site or a Yclas Self-Hosted Pro active subscription to run the apps.

No, we will set you everything up, we will publish your apps in our store, Or you can create an Apple developer and a Google Play account to upload your apps to your markets profiles. Costs $100.
