Become a Gumroad Creator and Build Your Online Store Today
Gumroad is for artists and creators: business owners, e-commerce store owners, writers, designers, software developers, musicians, educators, comic artists, filmmakers, and anyone in-between. If you make stuff or sell stuff – using Gumroad is the best choice for you. With Gumroad, you can sell and communicate to your audience easily.
Simple setup, powerful sales
Once you create an account you can start selling products on Gumroad in a matter of minutes.
With Gumroad, you're not limited to selling just digital downloads either. You can sell rentals, physical products, pre-orders, membership products that charge recurring fees, and even full-fledged software using license keys.
Customers can buy directly on a single product's page, or on your Creator Profile page, where they can buy multiple (or all!) of your products at once.
And, as mentioned before, even if you don't have products to sell, you can use the Audience feature to build a mailing list and generate enthusiasm for your work. When you're ready to get selling, just publish your product, send out a link to the world, and wait for the sales to roll in.
Grow beyond your core audience with Discover
With Discover, we help you grow your current audience, so you can find more people who care about you and your work (and maybe even find your next superfan). Discover works by recommending your products to prospective customers that browse Gumroad at gumroad.com/discover.
Products purchased via Discover will be subject to an additional 10% fee. This applies even if the customer has purchased from you before. If they buy a product from you through the Gumroad Discover search, or through a receipt link, or through any kind of referral aspect of the Discover feature, their purchase will be taxed the Discover fees.
So, to clarify:
If you have a Gumroad premium account the fees would be 13.5% + $0.30 per sale made through Discover.
If you are using Gumroad for free the fees would be 18.5% + $0.30 per sale made through Discover.
Customer management made easy
Gumroad make it easy for you to issue refunds, send updates to your audience, create automated email workflows, offer discount codes, and more. You can read more about interacting with your customers here.
The Affiliate Experience
When you add a new affiliate, they'll receive an email letting them know they've been added as one of your affiliates. This email will include info on the commission percentage you've set and a unique affiliate link (or links, in the case of multiple products) for them to share with their following.
Once sales start rolling in, affiliates will receive a sales notification email whenever a sale is made through their referral.
