7. Pricing
Gumroad offers several pricing features for products that you sell on the platform. Here are some of the key pricing options you can use:
- Fixed price: You can set a fixed price for your Notion template, such as $9.99 or $14.99, and customers will pay that amount to purchase it. This pricing option is a good choice if you want to set a clear, consistent price for your product.
- Pay-what-you-want: Alternatively, you could use the pay-what-you-want pricing feature to allow customers to choose their own price for your Notion template. For example, you could set a minimum price of $4.99, but allow customers to pay more if they find your template particularly useful. This pricing option can be a good way to encourage more sales and give customers the flexibility to pay what they feel your template is worth.
- Variable pricing: You might consider offering different pricing tiers for your Notion templates, such as a basic version and a premium version with more advanced features. This allows you to offer more value to customers who are willing to pay more for your templates.
- Discounts: Finally, you can offer discounts on your Notion templates by creating coupon codes that customers can use at checkout. This can be a good way to reward loyal customers and encourage more sales.
8. Versions
The "Multiple Versions" feature allows you to sell different versions or variations of your product as separate offerings, all within the same product listing.
Each version can have its own price, description, and file attachment, so you can tailor the offering to the needs of your customers. This feature can help simplify your Gumroad storefront by allowing you to consolidate multiple product listings into a single page, and make it easier for customers to find and purchase the version of your product that they want
Example:
- You can sell single variant only
- You can sell 2 variants
