Customers can rate your products 1-5 stars and leave a written review within one year of their purchase.
Ratings are visible on the product cards on your profile page and the individual product pages:
Get customers to leave a rating
Customers can leave a review from the content page of the product:
They can also submit their review from the product page if they are either logged into Gumroad or allow Gumroad cookies on their browser:
For memberships with free trials, reviews are allowed only after the first successful charge and not when the free trial begins.
We automatically send a reminder email to customers who haven't left a review 5 days after their purchase. You can also solicit reviews by sending an email or creating a workflow targeting only the customers of a specific product.
We also notify you via email when a written review is submitted for your product. However, you can turn off these notifications in the settings.
View your ratings
If a customer has left you a rating, you can view it in the customer’s drawer on your Sales dashboard.
You can also export a sales CSV and find the ratings in the “Rating” column.
Organize products by rating on your profile
You can organize your products by rating on your profile page by selecting “Highest rated” as the default sort order on your profile page.
How to remove ratings
You can refund a purchase to remove its rating. For membership purchases, you just need to refund the original charge and not all the recurring charges. In case of a free download, you can revoke its access to remove the rating.
Issuing a partial refund will not remove a customer's rating.
A refunded purchase will no longer be counted towards the product’s average rating calculation, however, it will still be visible in your sales dashboard.
You can also ask customers to re-rate your product.
To stop ratings from being visible on your product, simply go to the product's edit page, Share tab, and scroll down to the Discover settings. There, you can toggle whether or not your ratings are displayed.
Customers can still rate your products, but those ratings will be private.
Be aware that when you do this, your product will not show up in the Discover search anymore.
