FastSpring

The company operates a merchant‑of‑record e‑commerce and subscription commerce platform. It becomes the legal seller of record for digital‑product transactions, handling payment processing, global tax calculation, collection and remittance, fraud and chargeback management, and compliance. The platform includes subscription lifecycle and billing tools, branded web checkout, and a JavaScript store builder to embed commerce flows directly into vendors’ sites and applications. By aggregating these functions, it removes the need for vendors to build and maintain their own global payments, billing and tax infrastructure while enabling international expansion and recurring‑revenue models.

FastSpring (Bright Market, LLC) is a United States–based commerce platform that acts as a merchant‑of‑record for companies selling software and other digital products. It provides hosted checkout, subscription management and billing, payment processing, tax collection and remittance, and fraud and risk management, including developer tools for embedding checkout into websites and applications.

The company makes money by charging flat‑rate, commission‑style fees on transactions it processes rather than standard tiered SaaS licences. Its direct customers are software, SaaS, games and other digital‑product vendors that want to sell globally without managing their own payment, tax, and compliance infrastructure.
