What is QODBC?
Unreviewed registry note: A billing entry showing FS*QODBC*COM on your financial statement represents a software purchase or maintenance renewal for QODBC by FLEXquarters, processed through QODBC / FastSpring. QODBC is a specialized Open Database Connectivity driver designed for Intuit QuickBooks desktop and cloud accounting data. It allows database administrators and financial analysts to read and write accounting tables directly from applications like Microsoft Excel or Microsoft SQL Server. On credit card records, FastSpring prepends its merchant token, producing descriptors like FS*QODBC, FSPRG QODBC, or FSTPRING QODBC.
Unreviewed registry note: This charge appears whenever an organization buys an initial driver license or renews an annual software maintenance plan. Because independent developer FLEXquarters relies on FastSpring as its authorized merchant of record, billing operations and sales tax collection are handled externally. Cardholders often do not recognize the descriptor because the merchant token FS* represents the billing distributor rather than the accounting tools they manage daily.
Unreviewed registry note: If you do not recognize this charge on your corporate account, check with your accounting department or IT engineering staff to confirm whether someone integrated QuickBooks data pipelines with an internal database. Much like other software vendors billed through FastSpring (such as FS Wave Arts audio plugins) or alternative processors like Paddle, purchase records are tied to the purchaser's email address. You can view the complete receipt and manage active subscriptions by entering your details into the FastSpring charge lookup portal at fastspring.com. If the order was unauthorized, reach out to FastSpring support and notify your financial institution to secure your payment card.
Why is FastSpring (FS*) charging my card?
Unreviewed registry note: FastSpring is a reseller and payment processor for software developers. QODBC uses FastSpring to handle their online checkout, tax collection, and license distribution, which is why 'FS*' appears before the product name on your statement.
Is this a recurring subscription?
Unreviewed registry note: QODBC offers both perpetual licenses and subscription-based licenses (like their SaaS versions). If you purchased a subscription or support plan, it may renew annually or monthly. You should check the receipt emailed to you by FastSpring for exact billing terms.
