To move from Gumroad to Paylead, export your products and customers from Gumroad, upload the file in Paylead's Imports, finish each product and switch your links. Your buyers in Ghana can then pay with MTN MoMo, Telecel Cash or AirtelTigo Money as well as card, and you withdraw to MoMo or a Ghanaian bank account.
Why creators in Ghana switch
Gumroad was built for card buyers. Many of your fans in Ghana pay with mobile money, and every buyer who can't pay is a lost sale. Paylead takes both, prices in cedis and pays out to MoMo the next working day.
