No Gumroad cut. No Whop cut. Just Stripe's standard rate.

Your Stripe, your payouts You own the customer Runs on your domain
The marketplace trap

Marketplaces don't just take a cut.
They take your customers.

Gumroad, Whop, and the rest sit between you and the people who pay you. Every sale runs through their checkout, on their domain, into their database.

× Their cut, on top of Stripe

You pay a platform tax on every single sale

They charge a markup on top of payment processing. That percentage compounds month after month, forever — on revenue you generated, from an audience you built.

× They own the relationship

The email, the data, the customer — theirs

Your buyer's email, payment history, and relationship live in their system. If they change terms, raise fees, or shut down, your business and your audience go with them.

You did the work. You should keep the customer.

How it works

Your store. Your domain.
Your Stripe.

Directly is the layer that turns Stripe into a full storefront on the site you already own. Three steps, no marketplace.

STEP 01

Connect Stripe

Link your own Stripe account in a click. Payouts land in your bank, under your name. You set the prices; you keep what's left after Stripe's standard rate.

STEP 02

Drop it on your site

Add checkout to the site you already run — products, monthly memberships, or paid communities. It lives on your domain, in your brand, not a marketplace storefront.

STEP 03

Gate & deliver, automatically

Paid customers get instant access — file downloads, Discord roles, members-only pages. Access stays gated to active subscribers, handled for you.

Do the math

Same Stripe rate.
No platform tax on top.

Here's what the marketplace markup actually costs — the cut they take on top of Stripe, every month.

Scenario — monthly digital sales $10,000 / mo gross
Gumroad
~10% marketplace fee*
Their cut, on top of Stripe
~$1,000 /mo
That's ~$12,000 a year skimmed off the top.
Whop
~3% platform fee*
Their cut, on top of Stripe
~$300 /mo
Still ~$3,600 a year for sitting in the middle.
Directly You
$0 platform fee on top
Our cut, on top of Stripe
$0 /mo
You keep 100% of what's left after Stripe.

The honest part: Stripe still charges its standard processing rate (about 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction) on every sale — that's true on every platform here, including Directly. We don't remove Stripe's base rate. We remove the marketplace markup layered on top of it.  *Marketplace rates shown are approximate and set by those platforms; they change over time.

Not a prototype

This already powers a real, live membership.

Directly is the infrastructure behind Scenery Club — a live $8/month film community billed through Stripe, with gated Discord access and members-only drops. Same engine. Now productized for other builders.

It wasn't built to demo. It was built to run a business that takes money every day — and now you can run yours on it.
