Quick answer

A held Gumroad payout is usually caused by an account review, a chargeback hold or missing payout details. The balance is not lost, but you must trigger a review through support.

Most likely fix: Rule out settings problems

How to fix it

Try these in order — the most common fix is first.

  1. 1. Rule out settings problems

    1. Settings > Payments: re-save payout method
    2. Complete any identity or tax prompts on the dashboard
    Did this fix it?
  2. 2. Request a review

    1. Email support@gumroad.com with your account email and the dates of skipped payouts
    2. Reply to any follow-up asking for verification
    Did this fix it?
  3. 3. Plan around the wait

    1. After a suspension for chargebacks Gumroad says it holds the balance for 30-45 days
    2. Do not run promotions until payouts resume
    Did this fix it?
