FastSpring is a payments and commerce platform for software, SaaS and digital product companies. As merchant of record, it sells to your customers on your behalf and handles sales tax and VAT, fraud prevention, chargebacks, failed-payment recovery and subscriptions, with checkout in 20+ currencies and languages.
Subscriptions can bill weekly, monthly, annually or on a custom cycle. Customers can change plans mid-cycle, and FastSpring prorates the charges and credits for you. You can deploy a secure account management portal that FastSpring hosts, and reports track metrics such as MRR, ARR, churn and new activations. For business-to-business deals, FastSpring can send digital quotes and customizable invoices.
FastSpring says it is built only for companies selling software, SaaS and digital products. It supports product-led growth with self-service ecommerce, and it helps sales teams close sales-assisted deals. If you sell one-time products, you can begin with a no-code link, a popup checkout or an API session. Mobile app makers can offer checkouts in React Native and Unity apps using deep links and backend verification.
Developers can pick hosted, popup or embedded checkouts, and the Store Builder JavaScript library puts customizable checkouts on your own site. Webhooks send real-time notices about orders, subscriptions and other account events, and the API manages products and subscriptions. Listed integrations include Google Analytics, Google Ads, Mailchimp, Constant Contact and Zapier, plus licensing tools such as LicenseSpring and Cryptolens. The developer docs also cover support policies and response times and explain how to contact the team.
Pricing is a revenue-share fee quoted by sales, which varies with your transaction volume and covers every feature on the platform. Current terms are in the pricing box above.
