New Feature: Collaborations
We’re very excited to announce our newest feature – collaborations!
With collaborations you can now automatically split payments with your friends who you’ve worked together with to create a product. It’s often the case that you’re not working alone. You have a co-creator whose help has been indispensable to crafting your product.
There’s two major parts to the new collaborations feature:
1) You can edit products together, both of you contributing to completing your product page – uploading files, adding the description etc
2) Select the percentage cut that your collaborator should receive and we’ll automatically split payments with them after each sale
You can add up to 4 collaborators per product, and collaborators can receive between a 10% and 90% cut.
You and all your collaborators will need a PayPal account to participate in the collaboration, it’s not yet supported for Stripe.
For now collaborations only work with digital products, we’ll be expanding to other product types in future.
For more details on all the ins and outs of the new collaboration feature, please check out this article.
Teaming up with your friends just got better!

Looks good. I have two questions:
– do we have a timeline on when stripe will be compatible?
– are we able to get them signed up to multiple collaborator newsletters automatically ?
Hi Jo,
So glad you like it!
In answer to your questions:
1. We don’t currently have a timeline on when we might be able to make Stripe compatible – sorry about that! It is something we’re looking into, though.
2. If you’re referring to the “Mailing Lists” feature, buyers can only be added to the main creator’s list at this time.
Hope that helps!
Looks good.
We’re glad you like it!
Awesome. I have two questions:
1. How can co-producers issue an invoice? Would they be individual invoices for each purchase or is it enough to issue an invoice to the producer of the product?
2. In a monthly recurring product. From the moment the co-producer enters the partnership, will he automatically earn a percentage on all existing subscriptions?
Hey Pedro, so glad you like the new feature! To answer your questions:
1. Sellers and collaborators cannot generate individual invoices at this time (buyers can generate themselves invoices). Please note, that a collaboration sale counts as one transaction and the buyer can only generate one invoice.
However, collaboration sales will be included in the monthly sales report for both, and full details can be exported as a CSV file—allowing for further analysis or invoice generation.
2. Recurring payments are not available for digital products in general, which is the product type that currently works with the collaborations feature. It’s something we’re looking into for the future, though!
I hope that helps. If you’d like any more information, feel free to reach out us over at contact@payhip.com
