Hi fellow hackers!
I'm at the stage of integrating payment gateways to www.podium.build and was wondering if there're any advantages to launching on Gumroad despite having a stripe payment gateway?
I know Gumroad takes care of sales tax etc, but do they also do any other stuff? Like promoting on their platform?
I use Gumroad for their license key issuing feature and the license key validation API, I find them super useful when developing small apps that does not require an authentication system, browser extension for example.
Hi @hilee, you can also use ExtensionPay for taking payments in browser extensions. I like it because it doesn't require users to deal with license keys.
I created BudgetSheet ( https://www.budgetsheet.net ), and I ultimately chose Gumroad for one reason: License Keys. I needed a way to lock down Pro features behind a flag without having to build a whole service for it, and the automatic License Key issuance feature along with the verification API for it was just the ticket I needed to charge money inside my Google Sheets Add-on without a ton of extra work.
