As a Virtual Assistant Coach and Trainer, most of my work focuses on helping VAs grow their businesses. But I also care deeply about what happens after work. I encourage VAs to find that sweet spot between a thriving career and a fulfilling life outside of work.
Caribbean VA Living Shop was born from that space.
It’s our little corner for sharing products that support life beyond the to-do list—think self-care, fun planners, inspiration, and more for Caribbean VAs (and other professionals) building online businesses.
When I decided to set up this digital shop, I wanted something that wouldn’t take hours to figure out. I didn’t need a fancy storefront—I needed simple, affordable, and easy to manage.
After trying a few options, Payhip became the clear winner.
Here are the main reasons why I chose Payhip for our shop.
Affordable and Transparent Pricing
Payhip's pricing structure was a major selling point for me. They offer a free plan that allows you to get started without any upfront investment, which is fantastic for testing out your ideas.
As your business grows, their paid plans offer more features at very reasonable rates, and their transaction fees are transparent. There are no hidden surprises, which is something VAs and small business owners can appreciate!
Digital Product Focused
Caribbean VA Living offers digital products – from planners and templates to guides and resources designed to help you unplug and recharge.
Payhip makes this easy since it is specifically designed with digital products in mind.
It handles secure file delivery seamlessly, meaning you can purchase a product and receive it instantly, without any hiccups. This is crucial for providing a smooth and professional experience for you, our customers.
Simplicity and Ease of Use
Payhip is incredibly user-friendly. Setting up my shop was a breeze, and uploading products felt intuitive from day one. This simplicity allowed me to focus on what truly matters: creating valuable products that help you achieve work-life harmony.
Customisable
It was easy to make the shop look and feel unique, adding our Caribbean touch and vibe. Payhip provides drag-and-drop elements for easy setup and you can choose layouts for most sections.
Blog Post Feature
I can include blog posts which is a huge plus! I have a lot of content to share but they don’t align with my other sites. I’m referring to Caribbean Virtual Assistants and The Successful VA Academy.
Built-in Marketing Features
While my focus is on creating valuable products, I also need to be able to reach the virtual assistants who need them! Payhip offers useful built-in marketing tools, like the ability to create discount codes, offer affiliate programs, and integrate with email marketing services. This means less time spent piecing together different tools and more time connecting with you. It also has a marketplace where you can promote your products.
Reliability and Security
When you're selling online, trust is paramount. I needed a platform that I knew would be secure and reliable for both me and for you. Payhip handles payments securely and provides a stable platform for my store. This peace of mind allows me to concentrate on developing more fantastic products for Caribbean VA Living.
Final Thoughts
Payhip keeps it simple so you can focus on creating and connecting, even if you’re not the techy type.
