Creators deserve to get paid directly by their audiences

There are millions of creative people out there producing valuable digital products. E-books, software applications, guides, animation, tutorials, and much more.

But selling products online, and managing customers, can be complex and time-consuming. Sellers need to build checkout and product pages, have reliable payment processing, and handle many other aspects of ecommerce.

Streamlining online commerce

We make it simple for creators to sell their goods online. Sellers can quickly and simply get their own online business running.

Here are some of the services we offer.

• Build product and checkout pages

• Handle payment processing, chargebacks, etc 

• Customer management: communicate with your customer base with offers

• Gumroad charges reasonable rates, which range from 3.5% - 8.5% of sales (includes processing fees)

So far we’ve helped more than 74,000 creators earn hundreds of millions of dollars.

You're covered–from signing up to your 100th pay day 

Gumroad is the easiest way to get started, but it's also a great place as you grow.

We provide a "home" for creators, but we also we help creators sell digital and physical products, build email lists, run membership businesses, and more.

You can also learn from your data as you grow; our analytics help you discover what's working for you and what could be working better.

Gumroad is for creators

We serve anyone who wants to sell anything – be it digital or physical – online. Our customers include writers, designers, coders, comic creators, directors, musicians, standup comedians, photographers, personal trainers, and more. The list is literally infinite!

We make money when our creators make money

We make money in three ways:

• Charging a fee on creator GMV (between 3.5% and 8.5%)
• Charging for a premium SaaS offering (starts at $10 a month)
• Discovery fee (10% for sales we refer to our creators)

The creator economy is just getting started

We aim to become the default platform for creators of all stripes to sell their products directly to their audiences online.

By creators, for creators

Most of our competitors have raised venture capital. Our strategy is different: turn our creators into owners.

Improving and expanding

Using the proceeds from this round of funding, we'll be growing our team and using additional resources to ship features to help our creators scale.

We’re also expanding our offerings. For most of Gumroad’s history, we have focused on digital products such as software and apps, animation, e-books, music, comedy, and more. Now for the first time we’re expanding to physical products and membership products such as newsletters. 

Gumroad has raised $8.1M since 2011

Gumroad has been through two prior rounds of funding. We’ve raised a total of  $8M+ since 2011, when we first began our seed round. We have raised money from investors including Kleiner Perkins, First Round Capital, SV Angel, Max Levchin, Naval Ravikant, among others.
