You might not need a merchant of record
Gumroad's pitch is convenience: as merchant of record it collects and remits sales tax for you. The price is 10% of every sale, whether you owe tax anywhere or not, and Gumroad sits between you and your customers. Checkout Page runs on your own Stripe account instead.
Charge tax under your own name
Set one fixed rate, or let Stripe Tax calculate it per customer. About a minute to set up, with no 10% on every sale for compliance you may not need. Filing stays with you.
Direct payouts
Payments land in your Stripe account on your own payout schedule, with no platform holding your money along the way.
You own the customer relationship
Customers, subscriptions and payment history live in your Stripe account. No lock-in: if you ever leave, everything stays with you.

Embedded checkout
