Description

This plugin lets you embed Gumroad into your website, using our Overlay and Embed widgets: https://gumroad.com/widgets.

Zero coding knowledge is required. Once installed, all links to Gumroad will automatically open the Gumroad Overlay (lightbox popup).

For more information on how this plugin works, you can see a video on our Overlay here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u80Ey6lSRyE.

You can also use shortcodes:

Basic overlay example: [gumroad url="https://gumroad.com/l/DviQY"]

Basic embed example: [gumroad url="https://gumroad.com/l/GAPdj" type="embed"]

Overlay that will automatically show the payment form: [gumroad url="https://gumroad.com/l/DviQY" text="Purchase Item" wanted="true"]

Overlay for an affiliated product: [gumroad url="https://gumroad.com/a/919237747/llNDe" type="overlay"]

See the full documentation in Settings > Gumroad after the plugin is activated.

FAQ

Your theme must implement wp_footer() in the footer.php file, otherwise JavaScript will not load correctly. You can test if this is the issue by switching to a WordPress stock theme such as twenty-twelve temporarily.

If the overlay doesn’t get triggered on click (and your browser is redirected to a gumroad.com URL), please make sure that there is not extra code that is hijacking the click event (for example, a Google Analytics onclick event).

A popular known plugin that does this is “Google Analytics for WordPress”. Try unchecking one or both of these options: 1) Track outbound clicks & downloads, 2) Check Advanced Settings, then make sure “Track outbound clicks as pageviews” is un-checked.

See the official Gumroad overlay or embed documentation for further troubleshooting.

Update needed for 2 1/2 years Critical Problems: * The Plugin "Gumroad" has a security vulnerability.Vulnerability Severity: 6.4/10.0 (Medium) Wordfence

I love having the option to connect WP with Gumroad and allow customers to pay directly on my website. Sadly this comes at a significant performance cost that might make customers unable to do any of that. The plugin adds +7s to my website loading time which makes it a hard choice to keep active. I had to deactivate it because of that. I hope you will work on improving performance as inlining the JS files breaks the website so there's really no workaround for me.

Great, easy-to-use.. but it hasn't been updated in quite a while which makes accepting payments feel a little uneasy. The only downside is that it makes your WordPress page speed *VERY* slow. Even running WP Rocket, other pages load in 700ms while my Gumroad page is taking 9 seconds to completely load with it connecting to Stripe, Paypal, etc. This is a page with several products granted, looking at the GTMetrix waterfall it is the Angel Falls of WordPress pages! Please update for continued success thanks!

Hi, Try to add cart as option. If someone wants to buy product x and y, need to buy separately and is not ok for him. Also other option is to add btn for client to download when he wants, his purchase. Awesome ideea with gumroad but need this 2 options. I sell themes and I need this two options, are more like me that need those. You can make those as payment options plugin or free. Cheers

Overlapping doesn't work well on the web and mobile devices. At this time, the overlay does not appear, or appears very slowly. Then when the overlay appears, the image carousel doesn't work properly.

The plugin makes integrating gumroad with your WP page a breeze, but it would be nice to have the option to add an overlay over the page while waiting for the connection and the spinner is open. The spinner doesn't have an overlay and you have to add it manually, that would be a nice option to have. So, -1 star for missing flexibility.
