Merchant of record

FastSpring keeps adding local payment methods and merchant controls, one small release at a time.

local-paymentssoutheast-asiacheckoutmerchant-of-recordmobile-apps
◆Current state
Recent releases concentrate on payment coverage and offer controls: OVO for Indonesia, PromptPay for Thailand, and purchase limits on offers. A Steer Safe option automatically reports Google Play purchases, and monthly refinement digests continue. The tracked entries are headlines only, so scope and pricing details are not visible.
◆Where it's heading
The pattern from the older Pix, UPI and currency additions continues, now moving through Southeast Asia. Earlier-summer items such as Venmo, 1ClickPay for PayPal and self-serve payment method management show the same emphasis on checkout conversion. The Google Play reporting item is the one entry that points at mobile app sellers specifically.
◆Prediction
Expect more regional wallets at a similar pace, with Southeast Asia the current focus. Whether Google Play reporting grows into wider app-store support is unclear from these headlines.
