# Gumroad > Gumroad is an e-commerce marketplace where independent creators sell digital products — ebooks, courses, music, software, design assets, memberships, and more — directly to their audiences. Every product is sold by an individual creator. Each creator has a storefront on their own subdomain, and every product has a canonical short URL. Discover is the marketplace-wide browse and search surface, organized as a taxonomy of categories with nested subcategories (for example 3D, Design, Education, Software Development), each addressable at its own path. ## URL patterns - [Product pages](https://gumroad.com/help/article/136-find-your-products-url): `https://gumroad.com/l/{permalink}` — canonical page for a single product - [Creator storefronts](https://gumroad.com/): `https://{username}.gumroad.com` — a creator's profile and product listing - [Discover](https://gumroad.com/discover): marketplace browse and search; categories and subcategories are paths like `https://gumroad.com/{category}` and `https://gumroad.com/{category}/{subcategory}` - [Wishlists](https://gumroad.com/help/article/343-wishlists): `https://{username}.gumroad.com/wishlists/{slug}` — public, shareable product lists curated by users, served from the creator's storefront subdomain ## Pricing - [Pricing](https://gumroad.com/pricing): no monthly fee; Gumroad charges 10% + $0.50 per transaction on sales made through a creator's own profile or direct links, and 30% per transaction when a new customer finds the product through Discover.
