Income Tracker for Digital Product Sellers: Every Platform Payout, After Fees, on One Board
Selling digital products means selling in several places at once: a template on Gumroad, printables on Etsy, presets in a Shopify store, a paid guide on Ko-fi, a course on Teachable. Each platform takes a different cut and pays on its own schedule, so your real income is scattered across five dashboards. Earnly pulls all of them onto one board showing gross, fees, and take-home per platform.

In short
An income tracker for digital product sellers shows what your ebooks, templates, presets, printables, and courses actually pay after each marketplace takes its cut. Digital sellers rarely stay on one platform: the same $25 product nets about $21 sold directly on Gumroad after its 10% plus $0.50 fee and processing, less through Gumroad Discover at a flat 30%, and a different number again on Etsy, where a $0.20 listing fee, 6.5% transaction fee, and roughly 3% plus $0.25 processing stack up, or on Shopify, where you pay a monthly plan plus 2.9% plus $0.30. Because every platform charges differently and pays on its own cycle, the only way to know your real income is to track gross, fee, and take-home per sale across all of them. Earnly does exactly that: it puts up to 12 platforms on one board, breaks every payout into what you grossed, what the platform kept, and what reached your account, tracks which invoices for commissioned or licensed work are paid or overdue, and shows a payout calendar so a Friday Gumroad deposit and an Etsy transfer stop being a guess. The next-month forecast band, always labeled an estimate, turns a lumpy catalog of one-off sales into a working number. Earnly is informational analytics, not a bank, an accountant, or a tax advisor, and it never touches your money. Creator at $32 per month billed yearly suits most sellers running products across three or more platforms.
What changes
Three things you stop doing by hand
Every platform on one line
Gumroad, Etsy, Shopify, Ko-fi, and Teachable each take a different cut, so Earnly shows take-home per platform instead of one blended sales figure that hides where your margin actually goes.
See your real effective fee
A direct Gumroad sale keeps about 84% while a Discover sale keeps 70%, and Etsy with Offsite Ads can top 20% in fees, so Earnly surfaces the true rate on each channel rather than the headline percentage.
A number for a lumpy catalog
Digital sales come in bursts, so the forecast band, always an estimate, smooths a big launch week and a quiet stretch into a figure you can plan around instead of guessing month to month.
Who this fits
Sellers of ebooks, templates, presets, printables, Notion setups, Lightroom packs, and courses who list across Gumroad, Etsy, Shopify, Ko-fi, or Teachable and want real take-home per platform instead of five separate dashboards.
The pieces doing the work here: the revenue dashboard, platform fees calculator, payout calendar . Plans start at $12 per month billed yearly on income tracker pricing.
Questions people actually ask
How do digital product sellers track income across platforms?
The reliable way is to log every sale as it clears, tagged by platform and product, with the fee that marketplace took, so gross and take-home stay separate. Because most digital sellers list on several platforms at once, no single dashboard shows the full picture. Earnly combines Gumroad, Etsy, Shopify, Ko-fi, Teachable, and more on one board with fees broken out and a payout calendar, so your real monthly income is one number instead of five.
Which platform is cheapest for selling digital products?
It depends on how buyers find you. On your own traffic, Gumroad keeps about 84% of a direct sale and Ko-fi can be near fee-free on some plans, while Etsy runs roughly 12% to 20% once Offsite Ads apply, and Shopify adds a monthly plan on top of 2.9% plus $0.30. The cheapest platform for a sale you drove yourself is rarely the cheapest for one the marketplace found you, which is exactly why tracking your real effective rate per channel matters more than the sticker fee.
Do I need accounting software to sell digital products?
Not usually. Full accounting software is built for invoicing clients and double-entry books, which many solo digital sellers do not need. If your main question is what each platform actually paid you after fees and when the next payout lands, a focused income tracker answers that without the overhead. Plenty of sellers run an income tracker all year and bring in an accountant only at tax time. Earnly does not give accounting or tax advice.
Can I track courses and one-off products together?
Yes, and that is the point. A course platform like Teachable only knows about course sales, and Gumroad only knows about your Gumroad products, so neither shows your total digital income. Earnly combines course payouts, one-off product sales, and everything in between across up to 12 platforms on one board, each with its own fee and pay date, so building a catalog across channels becomes measurable instead of a hunch.
