About Gumroad
Gumroad sells ebooks, templates, software, presets and memberships with a hosted checkout, automatic delivery and a marketplace that brings some organic buyers. It acts as merchant of record, so VAT and sales tax are handled, and charges a flat 10% plus card fees with no subscription. Payouts are weekly by PayPal or bank. The default first platform for a creator's first product; sellers past roughly $5,000 a month often move to a cheaper stack.
Pros
- Live in minutes with checkout, file delivery, licence keys and a discover marketplace
- Handles VAT and US sales tax as merchant of record
Cons
- 10% is expensive past a few thousand dollars a month
- Limited design control and email tools
