The price the buyer pays at checkout, before any taxes Gumroad collects on top.
%
If an affiliate drove this sale, what percentage do they get? Leave at 0 if no affiliate is involved. Niche of One affiliates run 50-75% depending on tier.
Gumroad Discover is the marketplace inside gumroad.com. If a buyer found your product through Discover instead of your direct link, Gumroad takes 30% instead of 10% + $0.50. Most creators don't optimize for Discover. If you don't know, leave this off.

Price points compared

Why low prices hurt

Same product at different price points. Notice how the effective fee percentage drops as the price climbs. The fixed $0.50 fee is brutal at $2-5, painful at $10, and barely a rounding error at $50+.

Sale price Gumroad takes You keep Effective fee

The lesson: Pricing a product at $2-3 means you're giving Gumroad 30-40% of every sale. Pricing the same product at $10+ drops the effective fee to under 15%. If your product is worth $5, you might be better off pricing it at $7-9 just to escape the fixed-fee bite.
