From FastSprings site:įastSpring is a trusted reseller of software products and services. So I did more searching, both on the search engines and the receipts in my email. If you do not recognize the charge, you may contact FastSpring and they explain the charge to you.

FastSpring processes subscription services, software or product charges for many companies. I came across this site with an explanation of the company’s services:įSPRG is FastSpring’s charge code. I was about to dispute the charge when I decided to look it up again. It’s not uncommon for me to make large purchases on my business card, so when it first showed up on my card, I couldn’t figure out where it came from. It obviously didn’t show up as Ahrefs on my credit card, but as the infamous, capitalized spammy-looking statement code: FSPRG.COM. In my case, I paid for a annual subscription to an SEO software company named Ahrefs. In other words, though you may not have ordered anything from FastSpring, you likely did from one of their clients and that makes a legitimate charge. I eventually found out that FastSpring provides service to thousands of *other* companies by processing their credit card charges for subscription services, usually for software or similar online products. It turns out that FSPRG.COM is short for a company called FastSpring based in Santa Barbara, CA.
