Why choose Coachli over Gumroad

Gumroad is an excellent platform for selling digital products. It handles payments, automatic delivery and even global tax compliance as a Merchant of Record. For creators who only sell digital downloads, Gumroad is a solid choice.

However, Gumroad does not offer session booking or live event hosting. If you're a coach or creator who offers services alongside digital products, you'd need to use separate tools for scheduling and events. Coachli brings everything together — digital product sales, 1-on-1 session booking, coaching bundles and live class hosting — in one platform.

For African creators, Gumroad presents a significant limitation: it does not support Paystack or Flutterwave. This means your local audience must pay with international cards or PayPal. Coachli integrates natively with Paystack and Flutterwave so your customers can pay in Naira, Cedis and other local currencies.

To be fair, Gumroad's Merchant of Record status is a genuine advantage — it handles global sales tax and VAT on your behalf, which Coachli does not currently offer. But for service-based creators who need booking, events and African payment support alongside digital product sales, Coachli is the more complete platform.
