Gumroad Reviews & Product Details

The fast and straightforward UI. There are no unnecessary elements on the purchase page. Basically has only features that are required for selling products by the creators.

Sometimes the pages have gone down from the internet, making things a little tricky. There can be SEO functionality on the product pages, so that we can optimize these pages.

I was able to sell my courses through Gumroad. The onboarding process was smooth and simple. I could create my profile and product pages in a matter of 10-15 minutes.

It's ridiculously easy to set up in minutes. In your account, you click on "New Product" and follow along. Gumroad delivers digital products like pdfs or audios straight for download or directs them to your membership/course site right to your customer's inbox. Just connect your payment gateways and you're off! Embedding the products into your website is also very easy, loads well and the customer UI and experience is a smooth, seamless process that beats other platforms. Best for small casual solopreneurs/freelancers/hobbyists that sell low-volume digital products, like 30 sales of a $20 product. Also for those who don't exactly like marketing their goods, as Gumroad allows your product to be displayed in their marketplace called Gumroad Discover.

I don't like the stark look of the November 2021 redesign, the old one was softer and filled out, and less harsh on the eyes. The new one seems too graffiti and Andy Warhol-like. Their 10% flat fee is too much of a cut. This is not including the fees Stripe/Paypal take away. So if you have a $50 product, you'd get less than $45. Comparing this to platforms like Snappy Checkout, which is just $0.50 per transaction. Or a professional selling platform like Paykickstart, where if you sold 10 products at $100, you'd have made back the subscription fee compared to Gumroad. As in, you can continue selling and technically pay no more fees to Paykickstart on their Starter tier, up to $10k/mth, while you still have to pay that 10% to Gumroad. Gumroad also does not have any order bumps or upsells as of March 2023, so it's not possible to build a sales funnel. If you plan to earn more than $1000, it doesn't make financial sense to use Gumroad.

Back in 2016, I needed a quick setup for my digital courses and Gumroad was a robust, feature-rich, and fast solution. I got my first sales using Gumroad and it was a good introduction to sales.

How simple it is to set up and how quick it is to go live with a product

Lack of customisation and extension of the current feature set

Sold a few education content pieces through them - the commissions they take are the lowest I've seen and has worked well for me

Ease of set up and functions well for getting a store going. No monthly fee

Too high a percentage of sales fee. CEO is a right wing troll on Twitter which I do not want to fund. They changed the UI with no notice and have little customization options. Exchanging currency when both customer and seller not in US dollar which causes uncertainty with fluctuations between payment and pay out.

Easy way to sell products online with no monthly fee.

Its popular, Its User Interface is good. It's easy to use.

Fees, The total fees comes upto about 13% taking into account the Gumroad fee and the payment processing fee.

It helps me sell my digital downaloads
