What is Payhip?
Payhip is an ecommerce platform for selling digital downloads, courses, memberships, and physical products.
What does it do?
Hosts a storefront and checkout, delivers files to buyers, and runs subscriptions, coupons, affiliate programs, and email campaigns. Handles EU VAT collection and can be embedded on an existing site with buy buttons.
Who is it for?
Creators, educators, and small sellers who want a store and payments without building their own site or handling tax rules themselves.
What are the alternatives to Payhip?
Gumroad is the closest match for simple digital sales. Lemon Squeezy and Polar act as merchant of record for software. Podia leans toward courses and communities. Ko-fi handles tips and small memberships.
