Gumroad-like Shop in beehiiv

Do you sell or plan to sell digital reports, guides, or e-books? Usually, the tech world goes to Gumroad for their digital product sales. HOWEVER, who wants to pay 10% + $0.50 per transaction for all sales through your profile or direct links to your customers?

That is insanely high cost to share. If you are thinking about it, then I have a solution for you.

I recently built this solution for our customer, Shane, who owns & operates the Upstream Ag newsletter. We recently helped him migrate from Substack and Gumroad to an all-in-beehiiv setup, saving him hundreds on fees and making the process far more streamlined and efficient. (And connected to beehiiv, so he can have all data in one place)

🧠 Challange Context

In this case, the client wanted to sell digital guides and PDFs—specifically a series of exclusive reports on the Agriculture industry—without being bogged down by Gumroad’s 10% + $0.50 fees per transaction. Instead, we set up a custom digital product store using beehiiv and Stripe.

The pricing breakdown:

• Gumroad Pricing: 10% + $0.50 per transaction

• Stripe Pricing: 2.9% + C$0.30 per successful charge for domestic cards.

By integrating Stripe with Make.com, we were able to save on fees, have complete control over the store, and automate everything seamlessly through beehiiv.
