    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.

    Skrill is my preferred way of doing money transactions abroad typically when I need a safe secured and efficient way of sending money overseas and the amount is low. Most other portals tend to charge a transfer fee for lower amounts but Skrill does not charge a transaction fee when I use the ACH Transfer even for lower amounts. For personal use, I have used the debit card to fuel transactions and it allows you the same facility as the debit card. If I need to complete the transaction within a day and want the money to be available in the receiving account overseas the same day, I prefer another portal that has the option of express service that Skrill does not offer.

    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.

    Paysafe
    • It is a global payment processor that accepts payments from all around the world.
    • Because of the high security requirements for signing in, no one can readily access the account.

    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

    • Skrill's UI can be bloated and slow sometimes, and overcomplicated
    • There are some issues with localization and language, some concepts didn't see to be translated properly
    • What an e-wallet is, is not super clear to potential users

    We ended up using Tipalti which seems to have solved our specific needs better, though it is more expensive.

    Because it's simple to use, works well since we have first set it up and we never had any issues with it.

    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.

    I use different payment systems depending on the goal. Skrill is good when my contractor prefers this way of payment. Also, Skrill is a preferred payment option in many online services, which makes it easy to use. Also, Skrill issues a real plastic Visa card you can use like any bank card.

    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.
