Description

Gumroad is a platform for selling digital products and memberships with pay-as-you-go fees (no required monthly subscription). Creators can run their own affiliate programs, but Gumroad also runs Gumroad Affiliates: after you create a Gumroad account, you can generate links from the Affiliates dashboard for Gumroad Discover, specific products, and creator profiles. Gumroad Affiliates pays a fixed 10% on eligible sales, with a 7-day attribution cookie. Direct creator affiliates use custom rates (1% to 75%) and a 30-day cookie. Membership referrals can pay on recurring charges. Payouts follow Gumroad's standard creator payout schedule (typically every other Friday once you meet the minimum balance). Good fit for creators who promote indie digital products, courses, and templates sold on Gumroad.

Commission notes

Gumroad Affiliates: fixed 10% on eligible Discover/product/profile links (7-day cookie). Creator-added affiliates: 1% to 75% per product (30-day cookie). Recurring commissions on membership renewals per Gumroad help docs.
