Gumroad for GitHub

Buyers get automatically added to your repo with view-only access, meaning they:

• cannot modify your repo
• can submit issues
• can submit PRs
• get continual updates automatically

Just Stripe's standard fee + 2% for gitsell ≈ 5%.

Compare this to Gumroad's outrageous ~13% fee without any integration to GitHub, meaning repeated manual work by you to upload each new version, and you are no longer charged in your time on top of money.

Gitsell needs your email address so you can access your purchases forever. It also allows you to use other features like leaving reviews.

Gitsell never accesses the files in your repo other than the markdown file, if you specify one, keeping everything secure on GitHub. GitHub's permissions are not granular enough to just request access to that one file though. Email-only buyers can download a zip/tar archive of your repo, and this comes to the user directly via GitHub.

Gitsell will stay up for life—otherwise the source code will be published for free so it can continue on.
