Gumroad revised its multi-account policy to permit users to hold multiple accounts for genuinely separate brands or businesses, provided registration data is accurate and complete. Previously, the terms prohibited more than one account per platform or SNS at any given time. The updated language now restricts multiple accounts only when used to evade suspension, misrepresent identity, or conceal account relationships, and requires users to use Gumroad's built-in feature to link related accounts or identify them on request.

Previous text The updated terms establish a more permissive multi-account structure: users may now hold multiple accounts for genuinely separate brands or businesses, provided registration data is true and accurate for each account. However, the revised policy strengthens enforcement against account evasion by explicitly prohibiting multiple accounts created to evade suspension, termination, or enforcement action, or to misrepresent identity or conceal that controlled accounts are related. Users with existing multiple accounts are required to identify them to Gumroad on reasonable request; Gumroad also requires that any additional accounts created through Gumroad's account-creation feature be used to maintain account association in its records.

Previous text Gumroad revised its multi-account policy in an update detected on August 4, 2026. Previously, the terms prohibited holding more than one Account per platform or social network service. The updated language narrows this restriction to prohibit multiple accounts only when used to evade suspensions, misrepresent identity, or conceal related account ownership. The revised terms now explicitly permit holding multiple accounts for genuinely separate brands or businesses, provided registration data is accurate, and introduce a mechanism for users to create linked additional accounts through Gumroad's feature or to disclose existing related accounts on request.
