Monetize › Fan funding & memberships
Gumroad
A digital-commerce platform for selling downloads, memberships and other products directly to an audience. Artists can use it for music, sample packs, stems, lessons, tickets or fan bundles.
- Best for
- Artists and producers selling downloadable products without needing a full ecommerce website.
- Skip if
- You mainly sell low-priced items where the fixed fee is significant or expect the marketplace to generate most of your customers.
- First move
- Create one focused direct-sale product and drive buyers through your own link rather than relying on Discover.
- Watch out
- The direct-sale fee is substantial for inexpensive products, Discover takes 30% and Gumroad—not the artist—controls platform eligibility and payouts.
- Reach
- Established
- When
- Useful from day one.
- Based in
- United States
