Gumroad

Gumroad is a popular platform for selling digital products. GoPayLocal creates offer codes (Gumroad’s term for discount codes) per product.

Setup

1. Get your Gumroad API key

   Go to Gumroad Settings > Advanced > API. Copy your access token.

2. Connect in GoPayLocal

   Go to your GoPayLocal dashboard > Settings > Integrations > Gumroad and click Connect. Enter your access token in the dialog.

   Click Test after connecting to verify your credentials.

3. Create a campaign

   Select Gumroad as the payment provider in your campaign settings. Choose the Gumroad product to associate with your GoPayLocal product.

How Discounts Work

GoPayLocal creates offer codes per Gumroad product:

{
  "product_id": "xxx",
  "name": "PPP-INDIA-30",
  "amount_off": 30,
  "offer_type": "percent"
}

Visitors enter the offer code at Gumroad’s checkout page.

Gumroad’s Built-in PPP

Gumroad has a built-in PPP toggle in product settings. However, it is basic and does not support:

• Custom discount tiers
• Charm pricing
• VPN detection
• A/B testing
• Analytics

GoPayLocal provides a more powerful PPP implementation on top of Gumroad’s platform.

Note

If you enable Gumroad’s built-in PPP alongside GoPayLocal, the discounts may stack. We recommend disabling Gumroad’s built-in PPP when using GoPayLocal.

Auto-Apply

Gumroad does not support auto-applying offer codes via URL parameters. Visitors must manually enter the code at checkout.

However, you can pre-fill the offer code using Gumroad’s overlay:

// Gumroad overlay with offer code
window.open('https://yourname.gumroad.com/l/product?offer_code=PPP-INDIA-30');

Test Mode

Gumroad does not have a sandbox environment. For testing:

• Create a test product with a low price ($1)
• Use real payment methods
• Refund test purchases manually

Webhooks

Webhook handling for Gumroad is planned. Currently, discount code creation and checkout integration work fully. Redemption tracking via webhooks is on the roadmap.

Limitations

• No true sandbox/test mode
• Offer codes are per-product (not store-wide)
• No auto-apply via checkout parameters
• Limited API compared to Stripe/Paddle
• Cannot set usage limits on offer codes via API
