Gumroad
E-Commerce Platforms
Gumroad handles checkout, delivery and sales tax for digital downloads, memberships and courses without a storefront to design. The simplicity is the point, and it is the wrong tool for physical inventory, large catalogues or a multi-page branded store.
Strengths
- No storefront to build or maintain
- Digital delivery, licences and sales tax handled
- Works from a single link or an embed
- Supports memberships and courses
Trade-offs
- A per-sale cut makes high volume expensive
- Store design is deliberately minimal
- Not suited to physical inventory or shipping
