I have been using fastspring for many years. The service itself is good, but sometimes it is just not possible to get simple information from the customer service. I opened a support ticket 18 days ago, I just wanted to change the currency I was paid with. There have been several messages and still no solution. Since they started using hyperwallet as the payment "middleman" (not sure if that is the right term) things have become worst. Developer documentation is another area that needs a lot of improvement. I needed to switch from their "classic store" to the "contextual store". I was kind of forced to do this because they had almost stopped working on the classic platform. It was a nightmare, the documentation was poor, inconsistent, sometimes just plain wrong. 04/02/2025 Updated to one star on after over a month of emails to support with no real response.

We're truly sorry to hear about your frustrating experience with our support team and documentation. After being a loyal FastSpring customer for many years, you absolutely deserve better service than this. Waiting 18 days (and now over a month!) for a simple currency change request without resolution is completely unacceptable. We understand how this lack of responsiveness can impact your business operations. Your feedback about the Hyperwallet integration challenges and the difficult transition from Classic Store to Contextual Store due to poor documentation is incredibly valuable. You're right that our documentation should be clearer, consistent, and actually helpful - especially when you're being asked to make significant changes to your integration. I'd like to help get your currency issue resolved immediately. Could you please reach out directly to our seller support at https://fastspring.com/contact/seller-support/ and reference your existing ticket? We'll also flag this for our support team to ensure it gets prioritized. Thank you for your patience and for taking the time to share this detailed feedback. We genuinely appreciate your long-standing relationship with FastSpring and want to make things right for you.

Purchase was made to FastSpring for software from Freemake to edit video. Software did not work and Freemake indicated that there is a bug preventing it from working but would update me as soon as it was fixed. Never received a follow up email after that so I went with another product.
Response from FastSpringMar 17, 2025
We're sorry to hear about your experience with the Freemake software purchase through FastSpring. It's frustrating when software doesn't work as expected, and even more disappointing when promised updates and follow-ups don't happen. Since Freemake acknowledged there was a bug with their software, we'd like to help you get resolution. If you see "FS*," "PP*FS," or "FSPRG" on your statement, this confirms your payment was processed through FastSpring on behalf of Freemake. To help us investigate your specific situation and assist with potential refund options, please submit your purchase details through our consumer support form: https://fastspring.com/consumer-support-form/look-up-charge/ We appreciate you bringing this issue to our attention and look forward to helping resolve this matter for you.

I’ve tried to purchase items from companies that use fast spring to process their payments. First couple of times I could then all of a sudden I’m not able. They say use different payment option but I’ve tried every single one they accept. Been trying to contact support for 6 months now with only automated responses and never a follow up or resolving of the issue. Worst customer service ever. No wonder they have more 1 stars than anything elsr

We're truly sorry to hear about your frustrating payment experience with FastSpring. Being unable to complete purchases after previously successful transactions is incredibly frustrating, and going 6 months without proper support response is completely unacceptable. Sometimes payment issues can occur due to our fraud prevention systems being overly cautious, but that doesn't excuse the lack of proper follow-up to your support requests. If you see "FS*," "PP*FS," or "FSPRG" on your previous successful transactions, this confirms they were processed through our platform. To help us investigate what's happening with your specific case and why you're experiencing these blocks, please submit your details through our consumer support form: https://fastspring.com/consumer-support-form/ We genuinely want to resolve this issue for you and appreciate you bringing it to our attention. Everyone deserves timely and helpful customer service when facing payment difficulties.

I have purchased numerous items from Fastspring over the years, but recently have been unable to complete any transaction, not due to payment issues rather something is blocking (possibly the FMS system) transactions from going through for me. In fact, recently I tried to obtain a "free" item, one which does not allow for any payment entry and it was denied. If I create an alias email and otherwise use the same payment data for transactions it goes through, thus the likelihood they somehow flagged my email. Repeated attempts to communicate this has failed miserably with fastspring CS team. When trying to point out the issue regarding the "free" purchase, I get the canned CS response over and over that I need to change my payment method. THERE IS NO PAYMENT METHOD and this can easily be seen by the link I provided in the ticket. I have spent hours trying to get them to discuss or communicate a resolution and fastspring flat out refuses. Ticket example: 01587560 01585718
Response from FastSpringMar 17, 2025
We're truly sorry about the difficulties you've experienced with your FastSpring transactions. It's particularly frustrating when even free items are being blocked, clearly indicating the issue isn't payment-related. Your observation about being able to use the same payment information with a different email is an important clue. This suggests there might indeed be some kind of flag or block associated with your primary email address in our systems. Thank you for providing your ticket numbers (01587560 and 01585718). We understand how frustrating it is to receive generic responses about payment methods when you've clearly explained that isn't the issue - especially for a free item. To help resolve this specific situation, we'd like to escalate your case. Please contact our consumer support through https://fastspring.com/consumer-support-form/ and reference these ticket numbers along with a link to this review. We'll investigate why your email might be flagged and work to remove any incorrect blocks on your account. We appreciate your patience and your business over the years. We're committed to resolving this issue properly rather than continuing to send unhelpful automated responses.

Just trying to buy innocent music production plugins and this stupid company denies me no matter what I do. I used all my cards. I tried 100 times. This is the worst of all payment processing companies to exist.
