FastSpring
a genuine merchant of record that will not tell you what it charges.
the mor status is documented and the economics are invisible — you cannot compare it against anything without entering a sales process.
fastspring's own developer documentation states it plainly: 'as the merchant of record, fastspring purchases products and services from you and resells them to the end customer', with sales tax and vat collection and remittance handled on that basis. as a mor it is long-established and operates at enterprise scale.
the pricing page declines to publish anything: fastspring's team 'will work with you to determine simple, flat-rate pricing based on transaction type and your volume of business'. that means every percentage you'll see quoted for fastspring in a comparison article is somebody's estimate, not fastspring's number, and we haven't repeated them.
the description above is ours, condensed from the ranking. pricing moves — check it on the vendor's own page before you rely on it.

we researched this category against vendors' own pricing pages and licence files. that is where this line comes from — not from the vendor, and not from anything they paid for.
