Selling With FastSpring
Use the FastSpring App to create your Storefronts and all associated attributes, including products, prices, and promotions.
Stores and Storefronts
- When you sign up at FastSpring, you get a new account with one Store.
- Storefronts defines your products, offers, promotions, email design, default currency, and other major settings.
- Your FastSpring Store can consist of one or more Storefronts that define the web interface presented to customers with options to override many Store settings.
Products and Variations
Products
A Product in your FastSpring store is a sellable item that can be added to the cart and checked out. Products are defined at the Store level. Any product in the Store can be purchased through any Storefront and accessed through the FastSpring API and Store Builder Library.
- Products have a title, description, and a price defined in multiple currencies with optional discounts.
- Subscriptions are products that typically involve future charges to the customer, either on an automatic interval or on demand, and do not require the customer to re-enter payment information.
- Product Bundles group multiple products together for a predefined amount, either for convenience or to discount the group compared to each item purchased separately.
Variations
Product Variations allow you to create a clone of your product and only change specific details such as price or description. Variations are useful when you want to use the original product and fulfillment with a discount or some other adjustment.
Offers and Options
Connect multiple products through product offers or product options
- Product Offers: Display cross-sell and upsell suggestions for your customers.
- Product Options: In Web Storefronts, Product Options appear as subordinate or dependent items indented below the triggering products rather than as separate line items.
