No. Java and Javascript are required only for clients accessing the e-commerce platform for reporting and product setup. For consumers, no Java is required. While some advanced things on order pages do use Javascript, a non-Javascript version of the order page is automatically shown for customers who do not have Javascript. This is identical to what Amazon.com and all major web retailers do. The only function of SpringBoard, FastSpring’s e-commerce platform, that requires Java is uploads — nothing else. Beyond that, the only technology ever required is Flash in order to view certain visual reports.
