Gumroad sales, and Gumroad's cut as a line of its own
Each sale carries a price and a fee. Both come across, so what you see is what you earned rather than what the customer paid.
One personal access token, pasted. Nothing else to fill in.
The Gumroad card and its drawer: what Orla reads, what it never does, and the personal access token it asks for. The credential is tried against Gumroad before the connection exists, and encrypted once it is accepted, and never returned by the API again.
The token you give us
The simplest connection of the six
Settings, then Advanced: an application, a token, paste it.
What lands, and what Gumroad does not say
Sales and fees, day by day. No platform balance, because there is none to read
Gumroad publishes no payouts and no balance, so we invent neither.
- Every sale carries its price and Gumroad's fee, so income and cost are separate figures from the start.
- Refunds subtract from the day they belong to.
- The Gumroad account holds nothing, because nothing says what is still there. The money counts once, when it reaches your bank.
- The payout itself arrives from the bank side, where it is a real transaction with a real date.
Questions
The questions people ask before they connect it
Does it show Gumroad's fee separately?
Yes. Every sale carries its price and Gumroad's fee, so income and cost are separate figures from the moment they arrive rather than a net number you have to unpick later.
Why does my Gumroad account show no balance?
Because Gumroad publishes neither a balance nor payouts, so nothing tells us what is still sitting there. Rather than guess, the account holds nothing and the money counts once, when the payout reaches your bank.
Where does the token go?
Into a request header, never into the address. Tokens in an address end up in server logs and browser history. It is checked against Gumroad before the connection is created, then encrypted at rest like every other key.
