I can answer that. There is almost no differences of spelling in Spanish, mostly because there is the
Royal Spanish Academy (motto "[It] cleans, sets, and casts splendour") who regulates the language. That doesn't mean there are no regional slangs. Sometimes one word can have different meanings and sometimes one concept can have more than one word to name it. One source of amusement is to discover than one innocent word in one country has a gruesome meaning in another country.
But, as I stated above, written Spanish is pretty regular, and one can see that online newspapers from Mexico, Spain, and South America uses (almost) the same spelling.
