What Gumroad is
Gumroad is a platform for creators selling digital products, courses, memberships and subscriptions online. It is for people who want to sell their knowledge, products or side projects directly to customers.
Sellers can build a storefront or add selling tools to an existing website. Gumroad handles one-time, recurring and fixed-length payments in the seller’s currency. It also provides payment processing, analytics, email broadcasts and automated workflows. Sellers can run memberships and subscriptions, generate software licence keys and add lightweight DRM to digital products.
