Waters in the tech ecosystem today are strongly pulling in one direction: profit. With funding hard to come by, founders are under increasing pressure to prioritize profit over growth. Bitsmedia, the company behind the Islam-focused lifestyle app Muslim Pro, at one point, emphasized growth over profit.

A software firm in Singapore, for instance, can sell its solution to businesses in places as far away as Texas or Amsterdam, and it can do this entirely online. However, selling goods online is not as easy as it seems. Firms have to be registered in the foreign markets it operates in, ensure that they accept local payment methods, put in place the right sales tax or value-added tax, and align with local rules and taxes on the sale of digital goods, among other requirements. That’s a huge undertaking, especially for businesses trying to scale. If you’re devoting essential resources to compliance, what happens to growth? That’s where merchants of record like FastSpring come into the picture. It helps facilitate payments between buyers and sellers, taking care of all the nitty-gritty details of selling online.
