Perfect timing on this as I was looking for e-commerce solution, love they are merchant of record. As new to all this trying to eliminate distractions so I can focus on creating.
Thanks for the article and practical suggestions! I appreciate the clarity on how Substack and Gumroad can complement each other. I will think how I might change my own publishing and product setup.
Well, up to preference of course. I do prefer that Gumroad doesn’t come with a monthly fee. Also for me, the fact that Gumroad acts as a merchant of record and handles The tax requirements automatically is a huge plus. Doing this on my own would be a huge pain. Or an expensive tax person to pay.
Thank you for this. I’m going to check out Gumroad.🙏💙

Very insightful combination and very informative too.
I never knew that I can integrate selling on substack with sidestack. Great addition to my knowledge.
Good information.
I’ve used Gumroad and liked it ok but Sidestack looks VERY interesting! 👀 Excited to dive into that and check it out. Thank you for sharing that!! 🦋
I used to use Gumroad for selling digital products, but didn't realize it had these other capabilities. Ima gonna check it out again!

Besides running Gumroad for years, why would a new Substacker use that over Stan Store etc.?

Good point with the monthly fee - and thanks for the tax topic! Compared to my favourite tool Kajabi, Gumroad allows unlimited number of products.
This is great info, thank you! I've been looking for something similar and I'll definitely check out Gumroad now.
Thanks! Very helpful!
Love your approach, Burk. I didn't know Gumroad had email automation capabilities. Are you happy with its conversion rate?
Gumroad truly opens up the business landscape for a newsletter
Do you have an automation in place to share email addresses across platforms or doing manually? I’ve got a similar set up but with Beacons.
What do you mean?
Someone subscribes to your Substack. Are you putting them into your email automations within Gumroad?
Oh I see. Sorry. No I usually don’t do this automatically. I use this differently.
Okay, thanks!
