Gumroad has stayed true to one idea: the fastest way to sell a digital thing to your audience. Upload a file, set a price, share a link. That's it.

Selling a single thing to your audience — and anyone who wants Gumroad to do the heavy lifting in this category.
Take rate gets steep at the cheapest tier — if that's a dealbreaker, look at the alternatives in the sidebar.
