Payhip is fantastic. The interface is simple, the integration easy and the customer service has been top notch. I'm really glad I chose Payhip and will continue to do so in the future.
I absolutely love Payhip, it's such a user-friendly platform that literally anyone can use. Having launched my first ever eBook with Payhip, everything has gone by a breeze, I couldn't be happier with how easy it is.
We needed a company that handled VAT of the eBooks we sell. After a little research, we found Payhip to be the best fit. We're now using Payhip. We love the way they handle VAT and are easy to work with!

One of the most popular types of photography online is stock photography. These images are ones that can be easily used for web pages, flyers, ebooks, and other publications, both in print and online. Photos of animals, people in everyday situations, and celebrities are always popular. To sell well, your photos should be high resolution (at least 4 MP, ideally higher).
Just like with any online business, it can take time to make money when selling photos online. You may find you need to put in quite a bit of work early on without seeing much financial return on your time investment. However, many photographers have successful businesses selling photos online - and using Payhip, you don't need to pay a single cent till you make your first sale.
Your photos need to be technically competent in order to sell well. That means they should be sharp, in focus, correctly exposed, and properly framed. A blurry snapshot simply isn't going to sell. However, you don't need to be a professional photographer in order to make money from your photos. Ultimately, the only way you'll really know whether your photos are good enough to sell is by putting them out there for people to buy.
Payhip lets you sell your photos for free. You don't need to pay anything until you make a sale, then you simply pay a small commission on every sale. This makes it easy to start your photography business, even if you're on a very tight budget. Payhip even gives you a free online store, if you want one. Note that you can also choose to upgrade your Payhip plan, paying a monthly fee but also incurring a significantly lower transaction fee.
Just shoot us an email at contact@payhip.com or reach out to us on Twitter. We'd love to chat!
No, we have no storage or bandwidth limits. We only have a 5GB per file limit.

To sell your photos online, create a free Payhip account, then upload your photos as a new product. If you're selling multiple photos as a single product, it's easiest to add them all into a .zip file for upload. Next, connect Payhip with your PayPal or Stripe account. You'll then be able to share the Buy link for your product or add a Buy button to your website. Alternatively, you could create a fully-featured online store using Payhip and connect your own domain name. You'll need to think about how to market your photos, perhaps by encouraging people to join your email list in return for some free photos.
There are lots of different ways to make money as a photographer. You could open a photography studio, offer wedding photography, or run special photoshoots to create custom images for clients. Alternatively, you could create stock photos that you sell again and again online. Another option is to sell prints or other physical products based on your photos. You might even make money through a photography exhibition or through winning photography competitions.
If you're just getting started with photography, you can develop your skills by taking stock photos, particularly focusing on the type of photos that might be useful for businesses. For instance, you might have a series of photos showing typical office environments. Another great way to make money is to work as an assistant or second shooter for an agency, where you'll learn from other photographers.
In many countries, including the US, your photos are automatically copyrighted when you create them. (There are some exceptions, e.g. if you're taking your photos for an employer - in that case, they'll hold the copyright.) However, to receive full damages in the event of a breach of your copyright, you'll need to register your copyright with the US Copyright Office. You can do this at the copyright.gov website.
