Freelance Ecommerce Developer in Spain

Freelance ecommerce developer for Spain: online stores with local payments and fast checkout. Planned for GDPR, local payments and your time zone.

Overview

Online stores on Shopify, WooCommerce or custom stacks — product catalogues, local payment gateways, shipping rules, marketplace sync and fast checkout. Projects for Spain run remotely, with about 5.5 hours of overlap with a 9-to-6 working day. Scope, milestones and ownership are agreed in writing before work starts.

Spain-specific requirements to plan for

Projects for businesses in Spain have to work for local customers and local rules. These points are planned from the first milestone:

Payment methods customers in Spain expect: Bizum, Redsys card gateway, PayPal and Stripe.
Marketplaces and platforms that can be connected: Amazon.es, El Corte Inglés and Wallapop.
Catalan versions help for Barcelona-focused brands.
The European Accessibility Act applies to many e-commerce and digital services from 28 June 2025 (WCAG 2.1 AA is the practical baseline).
GDPR and the LOPDGDD (Organic Law 3/2018): The LSSI requires a legal notice (aviso legal) and consent for non-essential cookies.

This is practical delivery guidance, not legal advice.
