Outgrown a Creator Storefront?

Gumroad is great to get started, but eventually you’re going to need more than that. You’ll grow to the ability to sell software and subscriptions to customers around the world, and that means you’ll need your own checkout, pricing in your customers’ currencies, and an API.

PayPro Global is built for this next stage. As your Merchant of Record, we become the seller and collect payment, handle subscriptions and sales tax and VAT, as well as chargeback and fraud protection, and provide after-sales support, so you can get back to your product.

Why PayPro Global?

Your Checkout, on Your Site

Keep customers on your site during checkout by embedding it on your site or app. On Gumroad, completing checkout to keep customers on your site is “not possible.” 🔗 Link to source

Subscriptions in Their Currency

Customers renew in 140+ currencies, so a subscription price never feels foreign. On Gumroad, subscriptions renew in USD only. 🔗 Link to source

Currency conversion and calendar illustration

Fewer Lost Renewals

To minimize lost renewals, personalized dunning and card updater help fix expired cards before a charge fails. A self-service dunning center helps your customers update their payment information.

Deliver Your Software Your Way

For a SaaS product, you can give customers access to your product through webhooks, ship a license key through your own key generator, or send customers directly to your product. On Gumroad, the only way to give customers access to your product is through Gumroad, and “We do not have a way for you to import license keys.” 🔗 Link to source

A Real Person on Your Side

As you grow past side-project size, you get a dedicated account manager and 24/7/365 support in 28+ languages, by Slack, email, live chat, or phone. Gumroad support works through a contact form and email, with no phone line. 🔗 Link to source
