How to access Header coding?

    I have put up a couple of things to sell on my website and am using a service called Gumroad to do the selling. It links to my webpage and uses coding they provide. Their instructions are to put this line in the Header html:
    <script type=”text/javascript” src=”https://gumroad.com/js/gumroad.js”&gt;
    I have tried putting it in the page text I can access using WordPress but when I put this line in the page anything from this line on is not visible. So I am thinking maybe it is supposed to be in the Header rather than body of the page, but cannot find a way to access the Header html code. If I use the Appearance/Header choice it just shows my theme image, nothing else.
    So is there a way to get to that coding? Do I need a plugin?

    Thanks,
    — Richard

    you are able add various types of new code to the header.php file in your theme.
    be sure you are using a child theme instead of directly editing the parent theme.
    do you have a access to your webshosting account to set up new child theme files?

    I am unable to see your website so I am not sure how things are set up at this time.

    Thank you very much. I don’t have a child theme, but now know how to do it. In between my posting this and your answer, I was able to make it work by posting the code into the body of the page, so apparently that also works.
