FastSpring

FastSpring operates a B2B commerce platform and managed merchant-of-record service for digital sellers. It creates value by combining payment acceptance, subscription billing, tax compliance, fraud controls, checkout, invoicing and affiliate capabilities into a single integrated stack. This lets software and digital goods companies outsource operational complexity, launch in more markets faster and improve payment conversion without stitching together multiple vendors.

FastSpring is a US-based digital commerce infrastructure provider for SaaS companies, software vendors, game developers and other sellers of digital goods. Operating legally as Bright Market, LLC and trading as FastSpring, it provides cross-border payments, subscription management, branded checkout, tax handling, fraud prevention, invoicing, affiliate tooling and interactive quoting. Its core proposition is to reduce the operational and legal complexity of selling digital products internationally.

The company makes money primarily through a negotiated transaction-based revenue share rather than a simple fixed software licence. A central part of its offer is a merchant-of-record model in which FastSpring takes responsibility for payment processing, tax collection and remittance, compliance and related commerce operations on behalf of sellers. Its direct customers are businesses selling software and digital products, not end consumers.
