Gumroad Integration

Replace Gumroad's file hosting with Continuata's advanced download system while keeping Gumroad for payments and marketing.

Integration Strategy

Keep Gumroad for its excellent payment processing and affiliate system, but deliver files through Continuata for better performance and features.

Setup Process

Step 1: Upload Products to Continuata

Step 2: Configure Gumroad Ping

Gumroad can send a "ping" (webhook) to a URL you specify whenever a sale occurs. You'll point this at your own server or a serverless function that calls the Continuata API to create a download token.

Step 3: Create a Serverless Handler

Your handler receives the Gumroad ping, extracts the product and customer details, and calls the Continuata API to create a download token:

// Example: Cloudflare Worker or Node.js handler
export default {
  async fetch(request) {
    const ping = await request.formData();

    const email    = ping.get('email');
    const fullName = ping.get('full_name') || email;
    const price    = ping.get('price');        // Gumroad sends cents
    const currency = (ping.get('currency') || 'usd').toUpperCase();

    // Map the Gumroad product to your Continuata product ID (a UUID)
    const CONTINUATA_PRODUCT = mapGumroadProduct(ping.get('product_id'));

    // Create a purchase in Continuata (mints the download link + emails it).
    // NOTE: /api/purchases expects form fields, not JSON.
    const body = new FormData();
    body.set('customerId', 'new');              // or an existing customer id
    body.set('newCustomer.name', fullName);
    body.set('newCustomer.email', email);
    body.set('productId', CONTINUATA_PRODUCT);
    body.set('amount', String((Number(price) || 0) / 100)); // whole currency units
    body.set('currency', currency);
    body.set('paymentMethod', 'gumroad');
    body.set('sendEmail', 'true');

    const res = await fetch('https://continuata.io/api/purchases', {
      method: 'POST',
      headers: { 'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + CONTINUATA_API_KEY },
      body,
    });

    return new Response(res.ok ? 'OK' : 'Continuata error', { status: res.ok ? 200 : 500 });
  }
};
