For this integration option you’ll be utilizing a Gumroad product and a product (course) in Summit Evergreen.

Video Instructions:

Overview

To connect Gumroad and Summit Evergreen, you will need to do the following:

  1. Set up a course in Summit Evergreen and specify that it should integrate with Gumroad.
  2. Set up a product in Gumroad and specify that it should use a Summit Evergreen URL and SKU.
  3. Set up a “License Key” product on Gumroad.

Purchasing Products

Each Summit Evergreen course you set up needs to have a corresponding product in Gumroad, with the SKU field of the Gumroad URL set to be the Summit Evergreen SKU (found in Summit Evergreen’s “Tiers” section). This SKU is passed to Summit Evergreen at purchase time, and this provides the glue between the two systems. Pricing and payments will be connected automatically.
