I never write reviews, especially not on trustpilot but I really wanted to for Payhip. As a digital seller with experience using platforms like Gumroad, Squarespace, and Sellfy, I can honestly say Payhip has been the easiest and most enjoyable to use.

Payhip has been an answered prayer. As an indie author and former IT specialist, I had the ability to create my own website when I wanted to remove my e-books from Amazon. Payhip made the transition from Wix.com, simple and flawless.

Sydni

I have been using Payhip for well over 2 years and it's the best kept secret ever. I create my own content and I have NEVER had an issue with payhip. They are supportive and customer service is very responsive.

Lisa

Payhip looked perfect for me. It was my website, store, and courses all on one platform. I tried the free version Set up was reasonably easy. The course building was very simple to use. I really liked that part!

Theresa

After looking at various other similar services, Payhip proved to be the easiest to set up, with clean neat pages, easy navigation and, if you have any queries, the customer service is fast, friendly and problem-solving.

Sue

Payhip is very convenient for anyone who desires to sell digital products. One other thing I love about Payhip, is the fact that they only take %5 from every sale you make, which is very fair since they have made things easy.

Refioe

A great place for anyone who wants to sell digital (or even physical) products. Easy to use, low fees, instant downloads and a great customer service. I began instantly to sell templates and illustrations on their platform after linking my shop to my domain.

I recently switched up my website and monetization platform to @payhip and have loved it.
I love it so much, I decided I'd write a blog post about it and give my reasons for switching.

Helen Free

Crochet Patterns Designer

I discovered Payhip at a very difficult time. EU VAT had been introduced in and my business was too small to deal with the complications it brought along. I had tried work arounds that caused more problems than they solved and was almost ready to throw in the towel. Payhip solved all of these problems and is also surprisingly easy to use. Not only do they provide an instant download solution, they deal with the EU VAT.

Lola Johnson

Knitting Designer

Payhip is a great easy to use platform that provides lots of flexibility for digital product management and more. It has a streamlined back end that makes it easy to add and manage products, as well as creating and organising a gorgeous front end shop in your own style. It has been invaluable to my pattern business, as well as providing relief with a solution to processing digital product taxes for EU transactions.

Brenda Plaster

Quilting designer

My focus is on developing quilt designs and patterns. I'm not interested at all in managing an online store, although I do want to sell patterns! So I'm quite happy to use Payhip's platform. I love the way images look on my page and how easy it is to update files and images. The Payhip team has been very responsive to my questions & comments.

Juan Mallada

Presets & loops creator

I started making internet content in 2016 to make some money, like YouTube tutorials, private classes etc. My biggest success was with remakes, presets and samples from what is trending on the Brazillian electronic music scene. I use to sell these products "directly" myself to customers by manually accepting payments and emailing files. PayHip was a game changer for me to make this easier.

Crystal Bonnet

Chef and Author

When I first started selling online, I had no idea where to start. Instead of having to set up multiple platforms, designing a sales page and setting up multiple payment integrations, payhip has it all for you in one place. I was easily able to set up an eBook for sale in one day and start receiving revenue in my business right away. I recommend payhip to all my students who want to start selling products online.

Debbie Waller

Therapist and author

I found Payhip and I am really glad I did. Not only is the whole system simple to set up, seamless and pain-free for both vendor and purchaser, but it's also a big plus that my courses can be sold worldwide and Payhip will sort out digital VAT on my behalf on relevant transactions. Payhip's marketing tools, such as discount vouchers, are easy to use and a good way to encourage past customers to buy from me again.

Timisha Tross

Occupational therapist & author

I have been an active user of Payhip for a few years now and I love it. The user-friendly platform has allowed me to quickly and efficiently create digital products. I do not think I would use any other platform for my digital download and courses. The customer service team is responsive which is nice when you need assistance. I will continue to use Payhip as my business grows and develops.

Alys Golding

Consultant and entrepreneur

Payhip has been an amazing asset to my business and has allowed me to transition from solely offering 1-1 work to being able to offer courses, digital products, and even a membership. The customer support is faultless. There was a feature missing from Payhip when I first joined so I emailed support asking if there were plans to add this. They got this done for me within 24 hours! Would highly recommend.

Sherry Shish

Quilting Designer

As a small business owner, Payhip has been a game-changer. I started out selling PDF patterns and have since expanded to add physical goods. I find that listing items for sale, customer management, and the overall process of managing my shop very intuitive and easy to use. As a US seller, Payhip taking care of EU and UK VAT is super amazing!

Ben and Fabienne

Hikers and travel bloggers

We did A LOT of research and payhip is clearly the easiest and cheapest way to start selling digital products online. Over the years, they kept improving / building new features for us to use and we can't wait to discover what's coming next. Even though we sell more products now, we are still super happy with payhip and we don't see any reason to change.

Jo Westfoot

Quilting designer

Payhip has been brilliant for my business. It's really easy to use and integrates easily with my website. I love that I can use both Stripe and Paypal to give customers a choice. But the fact that they handle all EU VAT payments, as an agent, was definitely the clincher for me! It enabled me, as a micro business, to expand my business into digital products without the onerous task of registering with each EU country.

Carina Envoldsen-Harris

Embroidery designer

When EU VAT came into effect in 2015, I found out with very short notice. After doing a lot of searching and head scratching, I settled upon using Payhip for the embroidery patterns I sell. The main reason was that they take care of the EU VAT reporting for me, so I don't have to deal with that as a small business. After I started using Payhip I was really impressed with how simple and quick it is to use.

Helen Bell

Composer, songwriter and violist

I started using Payhip to sell my digital sheet music a few years ago because the previous platform I was using was difficult for customers to use, and I had to spend a lot of time helping customers with their downloads. Since switching to Payhip I haven't had this problem at all, as the download process is really intuitive. On top of this, it's easy to list products and customise the storefront.

Doe Zantamata

I've used Payhip for all of my ebooks for the PDF downloads. It is so easy to set up and in all the years I've used this site, it has never been down even once. Adding discounts is also super easy, and the dashboard shows stats and sales clearly. Payments are immediate. It's pretty much a perfect site. I noticed they've added an e-course option which I haven't yet checked out, but I definitely will.

John Hopper

Editor, writer & artist

I've never looked back since I started using Payhip to launch my monthly contemporary art magazine Inspirational, and since then I have uploaded a number of books and projects, and am planning to launch another monthly magazine soon. Payhip is really easy to use - no bewildering rules, no complications - absolutely stress free, especially for customers.

Tim Martino

Outdoor gear maker & designer

Jump starting a passion project, Payhip has the right tools and best-in-class pricing tiers for launching your first digital product. Two years since launch and now offering multiple products, Payhip's "commission-on-sale" model has proven to be an affordable choice and the curated feature set continues to grow. Responsive product pages with minimal checkout flow, VAT and sales tax handling ... have made me a happy Payhip user!
