- Creating a Kahana Hub: Upload your digital products into a Kahana hub for free. Set a price and generate a unique link for your product hub.
- Linking on Gumroad: On your Gumroad product page, use the Kahana hub link instead of directly linking to the digital product. This ensures secure access to your content.
- Inviting Buyers: If customers purchase through Gumroad, you can manually invite them to the Kahana hub after payment verification. Alternatively, they can pay directly through the Kahana hub for immediate access.
