A good fit if

  • You want an extra at checkout and an offer after payment

Not the right fit if
  • You're testing an idea and sell little. Gumroad has no monthly fee and handles sales tax for you as merchant of record
Questions

The short answers.

How much does Gumroad take per sale?

10% + 50¢ on sales through your profile or direct links, and 30% when a new customer finds you through its Discover marketplace (checked October 9, 2026).

When is Swipefast cheaper than Gumroad?

Usually somewhere between $400 and $500 a month in sales, depending on your price: that's where 10% + 50¢ per sale passes $49, and the gap grows with every sale after. Card processing applies on top with Swipefast.

Does Swipefast handle sales tax like Gumroad?

Not as merchant of record. You can turn on Stripe Tax to calculate and collect it, and you file it yourself, or use Lemon Squeezy as your payment provider, which handles it for you.

Can I keep my Gumroad products?

Yes. Move your best sellers to Swipefast first and keep the rest on Gumroad while you switch.
