# FastSpring

A payments platform selling global transaction processing, subscription billing, and tax compliance for digital goods and software.

**Route:** surfaced by the online payment acceptance lane's de-branded queries → competitor to stripe.com.

**Why it's on the map:** Sells the same payment-infrastructure capability — online payments, recurring billing, and tax compliance — to the same buyers (SaaS, digital-goods, and software vendors) that evaluate the anchor Stripe.

**Receipts** (verbatim from its page this run):

> Global Online Payments

> Subscription Management + Billing

> Tax Compliance
