Last year, our first survey on the state of D2C caught the gaming industry standing right at the edge of a shift in monetization strategy. This year, the shift already happened. D2C is not an experiment or an edge play anymore. Download the 2026 Report: buff.ly/HWL3jeA

The reason a lot of teams never switch payment providers isn’t price. It’s the billing stack they’d have to rip out to do it. Switching a payment provider shouldn’t mean rebuilding any of it. FastSpring’s Managed Subscriptions are built so it doesn’t. buff.ly/gueXFFM

The connection is composable, not a migration. Signed webhooks and a few targeted API calls, so your system still decides when to charge, retry, pause, or change a plan, and FastSpring carries it out.

Avid did exactly this. Moving off their previous provider, they plugged FastSpring into their existing stack and went live across more than 60 integration points in under three weeks. You keep the system you built. You hand off the compliance you don’t.

Whether you focus on Black Friday, Cyber Monday, or all of Cyber Weekend, November is a massive driver of sales for digital technology companies, just as it is for physical consumer goods. This one month runs about 18% above an average month's sales. buff.ly/k6oYA5P

Some of these markets don’t just match the US spike — they surpass it. A few countries climb far higher than you might expect, and the gaps between them might change where you point your spend and efforts.
