We want the entire purchase flow for your products to be safe, simple, and smooth, and we’ve found that credit and debit cards have been the best option and most secure payment method. Additionally, they offer less friction in the look and feel of buying your work.
But we’ve kept our eye on things, and we’ve worked to ensure that user experience, support, and sales will only be affected positively with a pretty major change. That change?
Gumroad now accepts Paypal.
What do you have to do to set it up? Well, nothing. No logging in or linking to a PayPal account, no settings to configure. Your data isn’t connected to or shared with PayPal. Payments will go to Gumroad and then be distributed normally. Our fees are exactly the same, and there are no additional PayPal fees. This is a feature intended to open up options for buyers and to boost sales for you.
We’ll continue to keep our eyes on the purchase flow to ensure that payments are fast and invisible. That part’s on us. You’ve got work to do. So go ahead and get back to it.
Please let us know if you have any questions or comments about this feature.
