## What it is
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
