Sorry for the late response. This thing took off without me realizing it. Flurly doesn't add extra charges, it does basically the same charging scheme as gumroad but cheaper. So if you sell a $10 item: 1%, or 10c goes to Flurly 2.9% + 30c or 59c goes to Stripe $10 - 10c - 59c = $9.31 goes to the seller There is no additional charge to the customer above $10.

So the only misleading thing is "keep 99% of what you make", it's really "96.1% of what you make - 30 cents" or "keep 99% of what you make after payment processor fees". Still cool, though obviously depends on volume. I use sendowl which is as cheap as $9 a month + Stripe fees (2.9% + 30 cents). I used to use gumroad, but had issues. I think they've gotten a bit complacent (see https://medium.com/@atrigol/gumroad-review-things-they-need-to-fix-in-2018-cb3c8a338bbc https://medium.com/@atrigol/gumroad-review-things-they-need-...) so prob room in the space. Good luck!

  Thank you! Pushed a fix to append "after payment processor fees" to make things clearer.

Okay, it doesn't add (I based that on another comment), but it still isn't a fair comparison For $10 on gumroad (see https://help.gumroad.com/article/66-gumroads-fees https://help.gumroad.com/article/66-gumroads-fees): Free account: 8.5% + $0.30 (USD) per sale gives $8.85 to seller For $10/month: 3.5% + $0.30 (USD) per sale gives $9.35 to seller And there's other options like direct paypal connection, where gumroad charges 6% or 1% and rest is charged by paypal themselves. These comparisons will vary based on product price, but this is nowhere close to your 5X claim.

  We can debate how the monthly fee factors in, but to keep it simple let's just compare apples to apples - the free gumroad plan. For the free plan (https://gumroad.com/features/pricing https://gumroad.com/features/pricing), Gumroad takes 5% and charges a (3.5% + 30c) payment processing fee. The 5X is in terms of the "take" percentage (1% vs 5%).

    okay, that tells where you are getting that 5x comparison (which is not as good as comparison as overall amount seller gets), but if you'd put this statement in your comment, I wouldn't have had this confusion at all
