# 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 simplest connection of the six

Settings, then Advanced: an application, a token, paste it.

- What to create: One field: a personal access token from your own Gumroad account. It only ever reads that account.
- How it travels: A small thing that matters: the token rides in a request header, never in the address, where tokens end up in logs and browser history.
- Checked before it is saved: Tried against Gumroad first, so a dead token never reaches the database.
- Where it lives: Encrypted at rest once it is accepted, and never returned by our API again.

#### 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.

Platforms connect on the paid plans; the free plan keeps the book.
