How to Add Custom Domain on Gumroad, Create Easily 2026

In your Gumroad account, open Settings and click into the Advanced tab. Custom domain isn't under Profile or Payments, which is where most people look first.

It sits near the top of Advanced, above unrelated developer options like email blocklists and API applications: a single Domain field with a Verify button beside it. Gumroad supports two separate setups.

A domain entered here, in the profile-level Advanced settings, points your entire storefront at that domain. You can instead open one product's edit page and enter a domain in its own Custom domain field, which routes only that product's page and leaves the rest of your profile on the default gumroad.com address.

Before Verify will pass, add a record at wherever you registered the domain, not inside Gumroad. The exact record depends on how you want the domain to look.

For www.example.com, add a CNAME record with host www pointing to domains.gumroad.com, plus a second record, a URL redirect from the bare @ host to https://www.example.com, so visitors who leave off the www still land on your store. For a bare root domain like example.com with no www, add a CNAME on the @ host pointing to domains.gumroad.com.

For a subdomain such as store.example.com, add a CNAME on the store host pointing to the same target. In every case the value is the literal text domains.gumroad.com, not yourusername.gumroad.com.

Typing your own Gumroad subdomain there instead is a common mistake, and it won't verify. A few registrars ask for an IP address instead of a CNAME target; Gumroad publishes 34.198.93.169 for that case.

Back in the Custom domain field, type the domain exactly as you configured it in DNS and click Verify. If the domain is behind Cloudflare, turn off the orange proxy cloud on the record first and set it to DNS only; Gumroad can't verify through a Cloudflare proxy.

Once Verify succeeds, click the pink Update settings button. Verifying and saving are two different actions, and stopping after the first is a common reason a domain looks connected but never goes live.

A record that fails Verify a few minutes after you add it isn't necessarily wrong. DNS changes can take anywhere from a few minutes to 24-48 hours to spread, depending on your registrar and the record's TTL. Editing the record again every time a check fails restarts that clock, so waiting an hour before retrying is usually faster than repeated changes.

Open the domain directly in a browser, in a private or incognito window so a cached DNS lookup can't give you a false result. It should load your storefront exactly as it appears at the default gumroad.com address.

Your original gumroad.com link keeps working afterward. Adding a custom domain doesn't replace or redirect it, so anything you've already shared under the old link still resolves.
