Alternatives to Gumroad
Sell digital products with one link.
- What is Gumroad?
- Gumroad is a hosted storefront for selling digital products such as ebooks, courses, software and memberships.
- What does it do?
- Hosts a product page and checkout, takes the payment, and delivers the file or licence key to the buyer. It also handles subscriptions, discount codes, refunds, affiliate links and email to past customers.
- Who is it for?
- Independent creators selling a handful of digital products who want a link to share rather than a store to build. Not for sellers who need a heavily branded, customisable storefront.
- What are the alternatives to Gumroad?
- Lemon Squeezy and Polar act as merchant of record and handle sales tax for you, Payhip and Sellfy are direct storefront rivals, and Ko-fi is built around tips and small memberships.
