  "what": "Creator storefront for selling digital products, memberships and courses with no monthly fee. It charges 10% + $0.50 on direct sales through your own links and 30% on sales it sources through its own marketplace. Gumroad became merchant of record on 1 January 2025 and handles sales tax worldwide.",
  "why": "Zero setup: you can be selling an ebook, template or course within about ten minutes, with hosting, checkout, file delivery and tax all handled and no integration code at all.",
  "warn": "10% + $0.50 is by far the most expensive merchant of record here — on a $9 sale you keep roughly $7.60. It is a hosted storefront rather than an API-first billing layer, so it suits products, not SaaS with entitlements.",
