You can ask their support staff if they know of any 3rd parties.

I start using FastSpring mostly because of the Payoneer card and I'm more than satisfied. Now I'm trying to setup shopping card on my PLR site (that's how I found your post :). Jacob, do you know is there any 3rd party shopping cart available for FastSpring?</p> Great post indeed. I start using FastSpring mostly because of the Payoneer card and I’m more than satisfied.

You're right that we used fastspring for our recent bundle. They had some difficulties, because their store couldn't handle the sales rush and some race conditions in their code caused trouble. They not only fixed those code problems in a day or two and did a rollout, they also had one person working exclusively on the bundle, sending licenses manually for the failed sales. All of that without us telling them anything specific about the bundle beforehand. Additionally, I had 10 support requests for them during the planning stages of the bundle, one of them even causing a rollout with additional features we needed. All of the requests were handled perfectly. Their system was able to handle all of the licenses in a single sale, requested the information directly from the various developers' servers, so I didn't have to have a high-availability service myself. I think I'd have had a hearth attack during that time if not for the excellent support from fastspring. For your bundle, you're in the lucky position that their store is already bundle-proof :)</p> Hi, I’m the technical lead at MacBuzzer. You’re right that we used fastspring for our recent bundle.

I'm in the process of comparing payment processors for TotalFinder. I was already almost decided to go with FastSpring and your article just confirmed my decision.
