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
On January 1, 2027, California is making digital products taxable!
That lands closely after Cyber Weekend. New subscribers before the change won't be impacted, however if their renewal is after, the Californian subscribers among them WILL be impacted. buff.ly/FFK2twy
A processor calculating the tax does not move that liability off your desk.
With a merchant of record, that entire list of obligations is ours instead. Same sale; same invoice; very different risk for you.
Sort this out before the holiday rush, not during the January cleanup.

Adopting a merchant of record usually comes with a quiet tradeoff: your revenue data lives in their system, and your CRM slowly goes out of date.
That's the tradeoff the FastSpring and HubSpot integration removes.

For sales-assisted deals, reps never leave HubSpot. Create a quote, trigger a FastSpring quote from inside the CRM, and FastSpring handles the pricing, tax, compliance, and payment behind it. The completed purchase syncs right back.
The result is one source of truth for revenue and a merchant of record handling global compliance. You stop choosing between clean CRM data and clean tax compliance.
