    FastSpring will be well suited for a company that needs simple checkout solution. As a bonus, you'll get a nice checkout flow. If you're a company that doesn't have the time to concentrate and becomes an expert in data security, currency conversion, global tax management, or fraud detection – this will be a great fit. It's appropriate for anyone who doesn't want to waste time on managing support for their e-commerce business.

    The last one, we had to add a historical discount for a customer that sent us its usage data with significant delay. Because the software is designed to have a linear flow of onward-looking data, retroactively fixing previous records felt like working against the system. But when we launched a new product with tiered pricing and setup fees, the configuration was fast

    Pros
    FastSpring
    • FastSpring makes the process of selling ebooks from my website quite painless and virtually invisible for me. I let FastSpring handle all details of the transactions, and I rarely have to get involved directly with the customers who purchase the books.
    • FastSpring is very responsive with respect to technical and customer support. I have had a few occasions when a customer was having difficulty completing a purchase transaction, and FastSpring has always been responsive and helpful in resolving such problems quickly and efficiently.
    • FastSpring offers a flexible set of options for customizing ordering pages that can be included in my website. There are many options, such as promotional coupons, discounts, multiple file downloads, and others.

    Cons
    FastSpring
    • They should work on integrations, just like other providers offering a script needs to be installed on the site, then the payment forms can be integrated easily
    • Interface seems old, maybe they can work on it
    • Sometimes, we saw duplicate payments on recurring payments
    • WordPress Integration

    It scores 8 because it dramatically simplifies SaaS rate configuration and automates complex mid cycle proration out of box. It only looses points due to configuration guard rail

    FastSpring
    FastSpring provides an easier solution, and definitely a much better fit for our configuration, which doesn't require a lot of power, just an easy workflow with a single product to purchase, to provide the most straightforward experience to the user. With FastSpring we have been able to accomplish this task in few weeks of integration, and a great help from FastSpring support, which has been the greatest benefit of choosing FastSpring as a partner.

    SAP BRIM (Billing and Revenue Innovation Management) is part of SAP portfolio and therefore from package perspective a better choice. We implemented Zuora first but moving over to BRIM; faster implementation, better operations cost and support within SAP RISE Contract Package

    Return on Investment
    FastSpring
    • FastSpring has been vital to my company's online ordering process. I have seen some other companies go out of business, leaving software developers scrambling to find new payment processors. I have no worries about the stability of FastSpring, they do a great job and deserve my business.
    • FastSpring makes it possible to me to have an online and professional looking web store - without writing all of the software myself.
