We're excited to announce the launch of our brand new in-house licensing and purchase system for all Grav Premium products. This is a change we've wanted to make for a long time, and we're confident it will provide a much better experience for everyone.
When we first launched Grav Premium products, we chose Gumroad as our payment and licensing provider. It was quick to set up, easy to integrate, and gave us the licensing capabilities we needed to get started.
However, over time Gumroad changed how they handle their callback and webhook system. This meant we were no longer able to maintain the seamless integration we had when we first launched. Purchases and license management became more disconnected than we wanted, and the experience wasn't up to the standard we hold ourselves to.
Rather than work around those limitations, we decided to build something better from the ground up.
We've built a completely custom Licensing Portal that puts you in full control of your Grav Premium licenses. Here's what you can expect:
Centralized License Management - Log in and see all your licenses in one place. No more hunting through old emails trying to find a license key.
Seamless Purchase Flow - When you purchase a premium product, you're taken directly back to the portal where your new license is ready and waiting. The whole lifecycle from purchase to installation is smooth and connected.
Easy License Recovery - Lost a license key? Simply log into the portal to retrieve it along with installation instructions.
Consistent Experience - Whether you're buying from the Grav Premium page, the Downloads page, or directly from the Admin plugin, all purchase links now go through our licensing system.
If you purchase Grav Premium products through the Admin plugin, you'll need to update to the latest version for the new purchase links to work correctly. The old Gumroad links are no longer active.
You can update the Admin plugin through the admin dashboard as you normally would, or via the CLI with:
bin/gpm update adminExisting licenses purchased through Gumroad continue to work. Your license keys are still valid and will function as before for downloads and updates. The change only affects how new purchases are made.
This is a brand new system, and while we've tested it thoroughly, we know that real-world usage is the true test. If you run into any issues with the new licensing portal or purchase process, please don't hesitate to reach out:
We'll get any problems sorted as quickly as possible. Thank you for your continued support of Grav and Grav Premium!

Developing web applications on macOS is a real joy. There are plenty of options for setting up your development environments, including the ever-popular MAMP Pro that provides a nice UI on top of Apache, PHP and MySQL. However, there are times when MAMP Pro has slow downs, or out of date versions, or is simply behaving badly due to its restrictive system of configuration templates and non-standard builds.
