Gumroad shared an announcement that they would be charging a flat 10% post Jan'31st of 2023. Is if someone amazing creator was in the 3% slab of Gumroad's pricing mode, they would have to shall out 7% more plus the charges of payment gateways and others. So here are 10 alternatives. Stripe: The big daddy of payments and it offers payment pages, their payment might work out best in certain ways as it is mostly around 3% Sellix: It is a great alternative that has payment integrations that goes beyond the usual ones. This includes Cash App, Nano and Binance. More options to pay, more $$$ Sellfy: Offers all the required features but a monthly fee for a predefined sales per year. Their plans seem to start at just $29 per month. Even better at $19/month if you go with their two year plan. Lemon Squeezy: You can take it for a ride at just 5% + 50 cents. This seems to be top recommended which I discovered just couple of weeks ago. PlugnPaid: A comparatively new entrant in the market which fairly having its updates and features. Worth giving it a try. Offers flexible plans where the transaction fee is <2.5% + the gateway charges. Flodesk Checkout: Who can forget Flodesk's amazing emails and features, they also have something called as Flodesk Checkout. Offers something called as "Checkout flows" Which others would you recommend, not only for new creators but also existing creators?

We use Stripe and Paypal for more than a decade and it is really hard for me to understand why would anyone pay more than 3% in processing fees.

@sergey_kornilov1 Yes, agree. But I think people are looking for plug and play solutions Vs setup and maintain. The choice depends on the convenience one is looking for.

What about Razorpay? They seem to have similar features as many of the above.
