Reachability by region

Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.

What Gumroad does

Gumroad lets creators sell digital products, memberships and software licences through a hosted checkout, storefront and payout system. Sellers point their own domains at it or share plain links, and buyers rarely know the platform by name, so an outage halts sales for many small independent businesses at once, often before the seller has noticed anything.

What an outage looks like

Checkout fails after card details are entered, or the payment overlay never opens from an embedded buy button. Seller subdomains and custom domains return errors while the main Gumroad homepage loads normally, which makes the failure look specific to one shop. Buyers stop receiving download links, and licence-verification calls from software that gates features on a Gumroad key begin failing.

What to do about it

Check status.gumroad.com, which measures the app, home page, seller subdomains, custom domains, the licence-verification API and the www redirect as six separate surfaces using external probes, and publishes 7, 30 and 90 day uptime for each alongside a raw data file. Tell buyers to wait rather than retry payment, since repeated attempts can leave several authorisations on one card.

Is it down for everyone, or just you?

Gumroad outage FAQ

Is Gumroad down or is my custom domain misconfigured?
Open your product at its gumroad.com address as well as your own domain. Gumroad tracks custom domains and seller subdomains separately from the main app, so a product that sells fine on gumroad.com but fails on your domain points at DNS or certificate configuration rather than an outage. If both fail together, the platform is the more likely cause.
Will a buyer be charged twice if checkout fails?
It can happen. A payment that failed after the card was authorised may still have placed a hold, and a buyer who retries several times can end up with several holds. Most fall away on their own within a few days, but a genuine double charge needs refunding. Ask buyers to send you the times they tried rather than retrying until something works.
Do buyers still get their downloads after an outage?
Purchases that completed are recorded, and the buyer can reach their files again through their Gumroad library or the receipt email once the platform recovers. Delivery emails sent during an incident are the part most likely to have gone missing. If a customer paid and never received anything, check the sale exists in your dashboard before assuming the payment failed.
Does an outage break software that checks Gumroad licence keys?
Yes, and it is easy to miss because it fails away from the storefront. The licence-verification API is its own monitored surface, and applications that call it at launch will treat an outage as an invalid licence unless they were written to fail open. If your product gates features on a key check, that path deserves testing against an unreachable API.
How much downtime does Gumroad actually have?
Gumroad publishes its own uptime figures per surface over 7, 30 and 90 day windows plus a year to date total, and offers the underlying data as a file, which is unusually open. It counts an incident as significant when it spans at least five minutes or touches at least three of the six surfaces, so brief single-surface blips are recorded but not headlined.

How we measure this

  • We request Gumroad's public endpoint every 6 hours from Fly.io regions across six continents — 8 of them answered the most recent check.
  • A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A 403 or 429 means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage.
  • A single failing region is treated as probe noise. We only change the verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
  • Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
  • Where Gumroad publishes an official status feed we read it too. An all-clear from the vendor can soften an unconfirmed degradation; a vendor-declared outage only worsens our verdict when our own checks corroborate it.
