Summary copied to clipboard! ## How Gumroad Pricing & Fees Work in 2026 Gumroad operates on a simplified flat platform fee model with no monthly subscription costs. Depending on whether you bring your own customers (Direct Sales**) or get sales through the **Gumroad Discover Marketplace**, the total deductions vary significantly. 💳 ### 1. Direct Sales (10% + $0.50) When customers purchase directly through your link, social media, or website, Gumroad takes a flat **10% + $0.50** platform fee. Platform Fee = (Price × 10%) + $0.50 🌐 ### 2. Gumroad Discover (30%) If a customer finds your product through Gumroad’s Discover recommendation engine, Gumroad takes an **all-inclusive 30% cut** (payment processing is included in this 30%). Discover Fee = Price × 30% ⚡ ### 3. Payment Processing On direct sales, standard merchant credit card processing fees apply: * **Stripe (Cards):** 2.9% + $0.30 (US) * **PayPal:** 3.49% + $0.49 * **International Cards:** +1.5% * **Currency Conversion:** +1.0% ### Step-by-Step Example Breakdown ($50 Sale) Suppose you sell a Notion template or digital course for **$50.00** with a **20% affiliate cut**: 1. **Gross Sale:** $50.00 2. **Gumroad Platform Fee (10% + $0.50):** $5.00 + $0.50 = **-$5.50** 3. **Stripe Processing Fee (2.9% + $0.30):** $1.45 + $0.30 = **-$1.75** 4. **Balance Remaining:** $50.00 – ($5.50 + $1.75) = **$42.75** 5. **Affiliate Cut (20% of remaining balance):** 20% × $42.75 = **-$8.55** 6. **Your Net Profit:** $42.75 – $8.55 = **$34.20** (68.4% take-home rate) #### 💡 How Gumroad Calculates Affiliate Commissions Gumroad calculates affiliate commissions on the **net remaining balance after platform and processing fees**, ensuring creators never pay affiliate commissions on money taken by the platform. ## Frequently Asked Questions #### Does Gumroad charge a monthly subscription fee? No. Gumroad does not charge any monthly tiers, setup costs, or hosting fees. You only pay when you make a sale. #### Are Gumroad fees refunded if a customer requests a refund?
