Export & fee checklist
Should You Leave Gumroad? The Export & Fee Checklist (Gumroad vs Payhip)
$9
Most sellers pick a new platform first and pull their numbers second. This checklist flips that order — export your customer data and get your real, landed fee rate on Gumroad vs. Payhip before you decide anything.
What’s inside
- Export the right files. Gumroad gives you two separate exports (Sales vs. Subscribers), and it is easy to miss the second. You get the exact steps for both — plus why the $100 email-sending threshold does not stop you from exporting on day one.
- Keep the raw export, then check before you import. Why a dated, untouched copy matters, which buyers Gumroad flags as “Do not contact” (and why you have to remove them yourself before loading the list into an email tool), and what the other side can actually take — including that Payhip has no bulk customer import.
- Gumroad vs. Payhip fees, side by side. Direct-sale rates, Gumroad’s Discover fee and its $20,000/month high-volume discount, all three Payhip plans, and the monthly revenue where paying for Payhip Plus actually starts beating Free — so you can see which side of the line you’re on. Figures checked September 2026 and dated on the page.
- A 13-point “before you decide” checklist. Tick it off and you’ve done the two things that actually matter, whichever way you go.
This is not a “leave Gumroad” pitch. It doesn’t tell you where to sell — it makes sure you don’t decide on a feeling.
Built for: indie Gumroad sellers who’ve started wondering whether another platform would leave them more money, and want their own numbers before they act.
Not for: sellers on Etsy or Shopify, or anyone looking for a step-by-step Payhip setup guide. This is the decision step, not the migration.
