merchant of record

FastSpring is more than just subscription management. We’re your merchant of record.

FastSpring’s “merchant of record” model allows you to sell globally without the complexity of global commerce. When you monetize with FastSpring, we process your payments, manage your subscriptions, help prevent fraud, increase approval rates with local processing, keep you compliant, collect and remit sales taxes, and respond to any audits related to sales taxes or VAT — so you don’t have to.

That was the biggest value unlock: that we didn’t have to go through and reinvent the wheel on subscriptions for our flexible storefront at the end of the day.
