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!

How do I sell ebooks online?

To sell ebooks online, create an ebook that solves a clear problem for your audience. Save it as a high-quality PDF, then upload it to Payhip so you can self-publish, sell direct to your audience, and keep more profit from every sale. You can also build a free author website with Payhip’s website builder to showcase your ebooks, grow your email list, and strengthen your brand. Once your store is live, drive traffic through SEO, social media, email marketing, and content that attracts your ideal readers.

Where can I sell my ebooks?

The best way to sell ebooks online is direct to your audience through platforms like Payhip. You keep full control over your branding, pricing, and customer relationships while earning higher profit margins on every sale. You can also publish your ebooks on marketplaces like Amazon KDP, Apple Books, and Google Play Books to reach more readers, but these platforms usually take a larger percentage of each sale and give you less control over your audience.

Is selling ebooks profitable?

Selling ebooks can be very profitable because there are no inventory costs, low upfront expenses, and high profit margins. If you sell direct to your audience through platforms like Payhip, you keep more of each sale and gain full control over your customer relationships. The tradeoff is that you need to generate your own traffic through SEO, social media, email marketing, or content creation.

Can I offer free ebook downloads to grow my email list?

Yes, this is very easy to do with Payhip. Simply upload your ebook and set the price to $0 to offer it for free. You will automatically collect customer email addresses with every download so you can grow your audience and market future products. You can also use pay-what-you-want pricing to let readers support you with an optional payment.

How do I drive traffic to my ebook store?

There are many ways to drive traffic to your ebook store without spending money on ads. With Payhip, you can create a free blog and publish SEO-friendly content that attracts readers through Google and other search engines. You can also offer free ebooks and lead magnets to grow your email list and build an audience over time. Once your products are live, you can run promotions with coupons, sales, affiliates, and cross-sells to increase visibility and sales. Payhip also has a built-in marketplace that can help new customers discover your ebooks.

Is there a storage limit?

No, Payhip does not place limits on your storage or bandwidth. The only limit is a 5GB maximum file size per upload, but you can upload an unlimited number of files to each product listing. If you need support for larger files, just get in touch with us.

Why do all the pricing plans have the same features?

At Payhip, our goal is to make pricing as simple and transparent as possible. So, no feature-gating here! You'll get access to all of our amazing features to help you grow your business, even on our free plan.
