Selling services
In this article:
If your account is 30 days old and you’ve received at least one payout from us, you can sell services on Gumroad! We currently support services like accepting tips, while offering scheduled calls and selling commissioned work are coming soon!
Go to your Products dashboard, click New product, and select a service product to begin.
We also recommend reading this article as creating a service-type product is similar to creating a digital product.
Coffee
Give your Coffee product page a header and a short message for your supporters.
You can only have one Coffee-type product with its URL set to [username].gumroad.com/coffee. While you cannot change this URL, you can set up a custom domain for this product if you wish.
Along with the default suggested amount, you can enable two additional amounts. Your supporters will also have the option to tip any other amount of their choice. Unlike selling a digital product, you cannot provide content in a Coffee product.
Select your preferred call to action from Donate, Support, or Tip. Finally, save and publish your product to start getting some coffee!
When you receive a tip, it will show in your Sales dashboard like a regular sale, and your supporters will also receive a receipt in their email inbox.
Restrictions
Services are handled differently than digital products because they are much riskier financially. Services often experience high chargeback rates and can also put us into legal gray areas where we are responsible for something we have no control over. Due to such reasons, you cannot sell the following types of services on Gumroad:
- Installation or tech support services. Your customer pays you on Gumroad, and you install or manage software for them remotely.
- Fixing someone's roof, redesigning their website, or any other kind of in-person or prolonged service contract.
If you’re found selling such services, we will be forced to close your account and refund any existing balance in your account.
