The Benefits of Outsourcing Your Ecommerce Platform

Focus on your core business and growing your revenue. Stop investing your company’s time, money, and resources into maintaining a commerce platform — which will need to be constantly updated and improved as your business grows and needs change.

FastSpring caters to digital businesses and online merchants selling software, SaaS or digital goods.

For regular downloadable products, no custom coding is needed when you outsource your ecommerce to FastSpring, even for subscription products.

Increase international sales by displaying your order page text in each customer’s native language (19 popular languages are supported), displaying prices in localized currencies, and settling your transactions in the appropriate currency for each customer (AUD, BRL, CAD, CHF, CNY, DKK, EUR, GBP, HKD, INR, JPY, NZD, PLN, SEK, SGD, USD, ZAR).

Reasons to let FastSpring handle your ecommerce needs:

  • Increase revenue through cross-sells and upsells on order pages, which typically increases your average revenue per order by 15-45%.
  • Order pages & checkouts branded with your site’s look to reduce cart abandonment.
  • Easily set up product discounts, coupons, bundles, volume licenses and other pricing adjustments.
  • Sell subscription-based services and products with recurring billing using FastSpring’s advanced subscription management functionality.
  • Benefit from FastSpring’s PCI compliance. Avoid having to meet these requirements on your own.
  • Gain access to FastSpring’s marketing distribution network and online marketing guidance.
  • Reduce your fraud rate. FastSpring aggregates order data and does real-time anti-fraud analysis of each new order prior to each transaction occurring, eliminating fraud to a far larger degree than a merchant can do on its own.
  • Manage your email marketing campaigns using MailChimp or Campaign Monitor, adding customers at point of sale to subscriber lists.
  • Avoid tax compliance issues by state or country by having FastSpring handle tax collection, compliance, and payment on your behalf, including management of the European Union’s Value-Added Tax (VAT), California state sales taxes, and more.
  • Avoid the order-related customer service work, as FastSpring handles this on your behalf. Enjoy the benefits of having a support expert handling your initial setup and the collective knowledge of our entire support team helping you with any issues that arise on an ongoing basis, always responding to you quickly.
  • Convert more traffic into paying customers by testing between and choosing from a selection of different order page and product layouts and offerings.
  • Ensure your customers’ transactions occur on secure servers.
  • Boost your revenue with our Affiliate Program Expert Audit and Campaign Management.
  • Manage third-party revenue sharing with our reseller partner management system.
