How onboarding works
Application and integration via FastSpring's checkout/API, followed by a review before going live.
Baseline eligibility
Requires a registered business selling digital products or services; a risk review applies since FastSpring takes on merchant-of-record liability.
Restrictions and risk review
Focused on digital goods/services rather than acting as a general card acquirer for physical retail; pricing is a percentage of transaction volume plus payment fees, and certain sectors are excluded by FastSpring's risk policy.
