What the paid plans add
Gumroad charges no monthly fee and takes a fee on each sale.2 At the listed 10% + $0.50 fee, a $20 direct sale pays $2.50 before card processing.2 Card processing of 2.9% + $0.30 comes on top of that fee.2 Stripe's standard US rate is 2.9% + 30¢ per successful card payment, and it applies to any copy.3
What a copy needs to do
- Product page with price, description and cover image
- Stripe Checkout for one product
- Download that opens only after a paid checkout
- Email with the download link after purchase
- List of sales with buyer emails
How to build it yourself
- A Checkout Session in payment mode accepts a one-time payment on a Stripe-hosted page.4
- The success page retrieves the Checkout Session and checks its payment_status before serving the file.5
- The file sits in a private Vercel Blob store, where all read access requires authentication.6
- The Gmail API sends the buyer a message with the download link.7
- Composio holds the seller's Stripe and Gmail connections.8
What a copy leaves out
- Discover marketplace traffic
- Sales tax and VAT handled by a merchant of record
- License keys and affiliates
- Gumroad's name, design and storefront look
