What works

Each part of the service, checked from Syria.

Core useWorks

The Discover marketplace loaded from Syria with featured products and prices, so buyers could browse. One product page opened the same day said that item was not available in the visitor's region.

Landing pageWorks

The gumroad.com home page opened normally from Syria, with the Log in, Start selling and marketplace search options shown.

Sign-upWorks

The tester was using their own Gumroad account from Syria, and its getting-started checklist marked account creation as complete, so signing up worked.

Sign-inWorks

Signing in from Syria worked: the account dashboard at gumroad.com/dashboard loaded with its menu of products, sales, analytics and payouts.

PaymentNot checked
PayoutFails

A country list checked from a Syrian connection while setting up a seller account went from Switzerland straight to Taiwan with no Syria, so a seller in Syria still could not choose their country for payouts.
