The short answer
This charge is for QODBC, a software driver that allows external applications to read and write data to QuickBooks. The transaction was processed by FastSpring (FS*), which acts as the authorized merchant of record for QODBC software sales.
What is QODBC?
QODBC is an ODBC (Open Database Connectivity) driver developed for Intuit's QuickBooks accounting software. It essentially allows developers and businesses to connect QuickBooks data to other tools like Microsoft Excel, Access, SQL Server, or custom databases.
When you purchase a license for QODBC, the payment is securely handled by FastSpring, a global e-commerce processor for software companies. FastSpring uses the prefix 'FS*' or 'FSPRG' on credit card and bank statements.
Why is FastSpring (FS*) charging my card?
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?
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.
