Frequently asked questions

How much does Gumroad take per sale?

10% + $0.50 as the platform fee, plus ~2.9% + $0.30 processing — about 12.9% + $0.80 all-in on a direct sale. On a $20 product that's roughly $3.38, leaving you ~$16.62.

What is Gumroad Discover's 30% fee?

If a buyer discovers your product through Gumroad's marketplace/search (Discover), Gumroad takes 30% of that sale (processing included) — the trade-off for the free traffic it sent you.

Does Gumroad handle taxes?

Yes — since 2025 Gumroad is a Merchant of Record, so it collects and remits sales tax/VAT/GST globally on your behalf. That's a real convenience baked into the fee.
