Editorial summary

Decision guidance

Verified Oct 2026. No monthly fee. 10% + $0.50 per direct sale, plus card processing (2.9% + $0.30) or PayPal fees. Sales through Gumroad Discover cost a flat 30% (processing included). Once you pass $20,000 in paid sales in a calendar month, further direct sales that month are 5% + $0.50. Since Jan 2025, Gumroad is Merchant of Record — it collects and remits sales tax, VAT, and GST for you.

Why this tool

No monthly fee removes the risk of launching a product — you only pay when you earn. Since 2025 Gumroad is also Merchant of Record, so it collects and remits sales tax, VAT, and GST for you. Listing a product is simple: upload it, set a price, share the link.

When not to use

Because the fee is a percentage of every sale, it grows with your volume. If you sell steadily at higher volumes, compare the total against a flat-fee platform like Teachable or Kajabi.
