Considered Both Products	FastSpring Verified User Anonymous Chose FastSpring We are getting the best possible support from the FastSpring team, even within a few hours. But with Stripe, and others, we had to wait for days to resolve the simple issue. Incentivized Helpful? Cristiano Ghersi CTO (Chief Technical Officer) Chose 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose FastSpring Compared to Paddle – FastSpring has much more experience in the e-commerce solution market. They already patched many things that Paddle might still go through. And Avangate is just very user-unfriendly (In my personal opinion). Their dashboard and checkout are just outdated. … Incentivized Helpful? David Simpson President Chose FastSpring I have previously used PayPal - but customers complained because they thought they had to set up a PayPal account. Other customers didn't think that PayPal was as professional looking overall as FastSpring. PayPal is fine for accepting ebay auction payments, but businesses who … Incentivized Helpful? Alex White Owner Chose FastSpring I have been using FastSpring consistently for the past nine years, and I cannot now recall what other products I considered when I selected FastSpring. I am not currently aware of any other company that would handle my type of business any better than FastSpring. Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	FastSpring	TimelyBill
Likelihood to Recommend	FastSpring is better option for small business and enterprises as well. But if you're a single person managing a person, or don't have a developer on your team, you may need to hire one to integrate the platform on your site, otherwise, it works great on all the parts. Have integrations with Apple, Google and Amazon Pay and accept most of the cards. And handles and tax automatically, which is a plus.

Pros	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. Incentivized Alex White Owner Read full review	No answers on this topic
Cons	FastSpring uses 2 separate GUIs for store owners. Some features work with one GUI implementation and not the other one. Some other providers do provide lower credit card processing fees, compared with FastSpring. But I have been very happy dealing with FastSpring overall in terms of support and overall usability - so I am happy to continue using FastSpring. If I was selling 10x or 100x my current sales volume, I might consider a change, but I have no plans to change at the present time.

Alternatives Considered	Compared to Paddle – FastSpring has much more experience in the e-commerce solution market. They already patched many things that Paddle might still go through. And Avangate is just very user-unfriendly (In my personal opinion). Their dashboard and checkout are just outdated. As a software company that builds and sells software via online in 2018 – we need to implement a fresh and simple experience for our potential customers. FastSpring offered this and Avangate didn't.

Return on Investment	Great impact on the cost efficiency of the payments. Good impact on the "abandoned cart" users: we could reach out to such users and in several cases re-add them as paying users. Good impact on customer support: FastSpring support is extremely helpful and available, in very rapid times.
