Gumroad is a till for files and drops. It is not the hours on your door.

Gumroad or your own site: a creator checkout versus a business URL | Bizzit guide

Gumroad (and similar creator checkouts) are good at selling a file, a drop, a membership they support. A plumber or a bakery is not a Gumroad drop. Even a creator often wants a URL that is not a product page in someone else's template.

Use Gumroad when their checkout and audience tools are the point. Use Bizzit when you need a hosted business and, on Pro, checkout on your payment account. Check Gumroad's public pricing and fees.

What Gumroad is

A commerce tool for creators: products, checkout, their fee model. Check their public pricing; we do not reprint another product's SKU grid.

What Bizzit is

Bizzit Free is $0 on you.bizzit.io after Google sign-in, with 50 Cipher turns and no daily cap. Pro is $12 a month for unlimited Cipher, a custom domain, overnight jobs from the brief, checkout on your payment account with no Bizzit sales cut, and no badge. Digital downloads can be a kind of shop brief, they are not automatically Gumroad.

Who should stay on Gumroad

A creator whose whole business is products they already sell there, and who does not need a trade website.

Who should add a site

Anyone with a story, hours, services, or a brand that should not look like a generic product page. Link to Gumroad if that remains the till, or use your checkout on Pro if that is the till.

What we will not pretend

We are not Gumroad. We do not take their fee. We also do not claim their membership stack. Empty cells stay empty.

Two tills

If both Gumroad and Bizzit checkout can sell the same SKU, you will desync price. Pick one till of record.

A table, not a slogan

Empty cells stay empty. We name our prices. We do not invent theirs.

Limits and caveats

Stan Store, Lemon Squeezy, and others are cousins. This page is Gumroad-shaped. We are not a fee calculator for them.

If a sentence would require a competitor SKU we have not verified, or a statistic we did not measure, it does not belong here.

What to do after you read this

If this page answered the query, open Create with the nouns from your own business, not a slogan. If it did not, you are probably in the wrong cluster: go back to the blog hub or Comparisons. Do not spin a second URL for a synonym. One intent per page is the whole point of this library.

Tools that actually do this job

These are public pages. Use them when the job is this job. They are not a second product you have to buy.

Questions people actually ask

Can I sell a PDF on Bizzit?

If the shop/product flow supports what you brief. Do not invent a Gumroad clone. See digital downloads in the shops cluster.

Do you take a percent?

No Bizzit sales cut on Pro checkout.

Should I move off Gumroad?

Only if you want a different till and you will do the demand yourself.

Is Gumroad a website?

It is product pages. A business site is more than a product page.
