Gumroad — Free to Start for Startups

Deal Highlights

Gumroad — Sell Digital Products in 5 Minutes

Gumroad is the simplest way to sell digital products online. E-books, courses, templates, software, music, art — upload your file, set a price, and share a link. Gumroad handles payments, delivery, taxes, and customer management. No website needed, no technical setup, no upfront cost.

Built for Creators, Not Enterprises

Shopify is for e-commerce businesses. Gumroad is for individual creators and small teams selling digital products. The entire experience — from listing your first product to getting paid — takes under 5 minutes. That simplicity is the product.

What You Can Sell

Digital downloads (PDFs, ZIP files, audio, video). Memberships with recurring billing. Software license keys. Pre-orders. Pay-what-you-want pricing. Tiered product bundles. Course access with drip content delivery.

Global Payments

Gumroad handles payments in 190+ countries, manages VAT/sales tax compliance, issues refunds, and deposits your earnings weekly. You never touch a tax form for your digital sales — Gumroad handles it.
