Gumroad updated a cross-reference in its payment terms on August 2, 2026. The language previously directed readers to 'Section 1 (Third-Party Payments Providers)' for details on payment methods; the updated text directs them to 'Section 5' instead. This is a structural correction that does not alter the substance of payment obligations or available methods, but ensures readers can locate the relevant payment provider information correctly.

What this means for you

This change corrects an internal reference within the payment terms but does not alter how payments work or what payment methods are available. The updated terms still require all purchases to be made through Gumroad using payment methods the company makes available; the change simply directs readers to the correct section for payment provider details.

Key Clauses Affected

payment methods provision

Cross-reference corrected to point to Section 5 for third-party payment provider details; no change to actual payment obligations.
