The fact that the complexity of having to deal with multiple sales tax issues across worldwide sales is completely removed when using FastSpring is a significant advantage in itself, but there are many other benefits including, but not limited to the following;
The online help is excellent with clear guides showing how to implement any required scenario. For the few times that I have needed to contact technical support their knowledge, and response times, have been first-rate.
The flexible integration options between the product site and FastSpring. For example if a customer is logged into the product site when clicking on a purchase link, information can be passed to FastSpring and this information can be used during the license generation process when a purchase is made.
Numerous software licensing fulfillment options.
New products are simple to set up by duplicating an existing product with options to change product specific attributes.
When customers (usually sales tax exempt entities) have had questions about sales tax I have directed them to FastSpring customer support, and the feedback from those customers was that FastSpring’s response was excellent.
The ability to generate a custom quotation for a customer and then simply send the link to the customer so they can complete the purchase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A more modern and flexible visualization and reporting interface to view sales would be good, but this is a nice to have only as the existing tools are ok. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
