# Gumroad
> Gumroad is an e-commerce marketplace where independent creators sell digital products […] ebooks, courses, music, software, design assets, memberships, and more […] directly to their audiences.
Every product is sold by an individual creator. Each creator has a storefront on their own subdomain, and every product has a canonical short URL. Discover is the marketplace-wide browse and search surface, organized as a taxonomy of categories with nested subcategories (for example 3D, Design, Education, Software Development), each addressable at its own path.
## URL patterns
- [Product pages](https://gumroad.com/help/article/136-find-your-products-url): `https://gumroad.com/l/{permalink}` […] canonical page for a single product
- [Creator storefronts](https://gumroad.com/): `https://{username}.gumroad.com` […] a creator's profile and product listing
- [Discover](https://gumroad.com/discover): marketplace browse and search; categories and subcategories are paths like `https://gumroad.com/{category}` and `https://gumroad.com/{category}/{subcategory}`
- [Wishlists](https://gumroad.com/help/article/343-wishlists): `https://{username}.gumroad.com/wishlists/{slug}` […] public, shareable product lists curated by users, served from the creator's storefront subdomain
## Pricing
- [Pricing](https://gumroad.com/pricing): no monthly fee; Gumroad charges 10% + $0.50 per transaction on sales made through a creator's own profile or direct links, and 30% per transaction when a new customer finds the product through Discover. Gumroad is the merchant of record and handles sales tax collection and remittance worldwide.
## API
- [API documentation](https://gumroad.com/api): public REST API for products, sales, subscribers, and licenses
- [Muse](https://gumroad.com/muse) and [Claude](https://gumroad.com/claude) connectors: OAuth + MCP so an agent can list sales, draft and edit a product, add the files and links buyers receive and a cover image, publish it, and check payouts for a connected creator (`/.well-known/mcp.json`). Setup for humans: [Gumroad MCP](https://gumroad.com/mcp) and [connecting AI assistants to your store](https://gumroad.com/help/article/355-connect-ai-assistants-to-gumroad)
- [Help Center](https://gumroad.com/help): documentation for creators and customers

Linking and the companion file
The home page of gumroad.com does not link the file in its HTML. Ora's lab found (2026-10-19) that 86 percent of llms.txt fetches by agents arrived through a link, so an unlinked file is mostly a file nobody opens. No llms-full.txt was found at the same root.
