After expanding to the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Italy, and the Netherlands, the Fiverr freelancing platform has chosen Portugal to continue its global growth.
For the first time, the platform will adapt its services to a "non-English" environment, and Portugal has entered the picture, having registered a 73% growth in visitors between the first and second quarters of 2020.
Although the Portuguese were already regular users of Fiverr, their presence almost doubled between March and April of this year. Buyers registered a 47% increase in Portugal, while the total number of new registrations grew by 107% between the first and second quarters.
Fiverr has now officially launched its presence in Portugal with a website that, for the first time, allows local users to conduct their transactions in a non-English language environment. The platform aims to offer an experience similar to an e-commerce transaction through its own Service-as-a-Product model, where freelancers only need to focus on improving their services, as Fiverr handles all the bureaucratic aspects, making the process safe and reliable for all parties involved.
“ We are very pleased with this implementation, as it is the first time we have allowed our Portuguese buyers to conduct a transaction in a 'non-English' environment. Enabling our users to operate in their own language has always been one of our goals, as it will significantly enhance their experience on the platform. After all, changing the way the world works together is our mission, ” said Peggy De Lange, VP of International Expansion.

Each freelancer has their own profile, service description, rating, and fixed price, which helps avoid unnecessary negotiations. This also makes it easier and faster for service providers to find work.
From the buyer's perspective, Fiverr offers access to various services through its e-commerce-like platform, ensuring not only that the service will be completed on time but also that there will be no surprise costs. Furthermore, during these challenging times where many businesses have had to digitally transform, Fiverr has been connecting its freelancers with businesses that need help with this transition.
This launch will enable both freelancers and local buyers to work together in a new way. Fiverr is a platform that connects businesses of any size and sector with freelancers who offer digital services across more than 400 categories, such as graphic design, digital marketing, programming, translations, or gaming.
