The open-source codebase of Gumroad, an e-commerce platform that lets creators sell digital products, memberships, and courses directly to consumers. It is a full Ruby on Rails web application with payments, storefronts, affiliates, and tax handling built in.

Use cases

• sell digital products like ebooks and courses online
• self-host a creator storefront platform
• study how a production e-commerce app is built in Rails
• set up recurring memberships and subscriptions for an audience
• accept payments for digital downloads with tax handling
• run a marketplace for creators

When to choose

• you want to inspect, fork, or contribute to the actual Gumroad production codebase
• you need a reference implementation of a large-scale Rails e-commerce platform
• you want to self-host or adapt a creator commerce platform

When to avoid

• you just want to sell products - use the hosted gumroad.com service instead of running the code
• you need a lightweight or embeddable checkout widget rather than a full platform
• you are not prepared to operate a complex stack with MySQL, Elasticsearch, and Docker
