Yes, used it for a few Laravel projects, really grateful for the Laravel Cashier package which makes things a lot easier.

I would also suggest trying out Paddle as an alternative.

The nice thing about Paddle and FastSpring is that they take care of all the tax stuff.

In the first time Paddle looks good when you look at their documentation it is lacking. I also can see that they are using old Callback method for their API so i am expecting too much hassle inside their code internally.

Also i really don't want to make every method coming from their API wrapped inside Promise

new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
   Paddle.method((e, data) => {
     if(e){
       return reject(e)
     } else {
      return resolve(data)
     }
   })
})

Does that looks good to you guys ? For a payment platform ?

Take a look at an old post I have with Rails + React. If by any chance you want an updated version for new hook usages just let me know :)
