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!

Excel templates are special types of Excel files. Essentially, they're a pre-designed template that you can then use to create new spreadsheets using the same formatting and predefined formulas. Sometimes, a template is a single worksheet; sometimes, it's a full workbook (multiple worksheets).
Yes, it's legal to sell Excel templates and Excel spreadsheets, so long as they are templates you've created yourself. You can't resell the Excel software, however. If you created the template while working for an employer, or for a freelance client, then they may have the rights to that template - so you'd need to get their permission before selling it.
Yes, there is a good market for Excel templates. Most Excel templates are bought by B2B customers, but you may also find that there's a B2C market for certain types of templates, such as templates to track personal finances. You may also want to consider making variations of your templates that work in Google Sheets, as some of your audience may not use Excel.
It's up to you what to charge for your Excel templates. Depending on the complexity of the template, you might be charging anything from a couple of dollars for a simple budget tracker up to $50+ for more complex templates. To work out the right price for your Excel template, have a look at what similar templates are selling for.

It's easy to sell Excel templates online through Payhip, and you don't need to pay any upfront cost or monthly fees - just a small commission of 5% on each sale. To use Payhip to sell your Excel templates, just create an account, add a new product, upload your Excel template file, then set your price. You can sell your Excel templates through your Payhip store or through your own website.
There are lots of different ways you could make money from Excel. You could create custom spreadsheets for small businesses as a freelancer, you could offer consulting or training services, or you could sell Excel templates and spreadsheets. If you're an Excel data analyst, you might be making around $86,000 per year in the USA, according to Glassdoor.
To create an Excel template, simply create your workbook as normal, then save it as a template. Go to File → Options → Save then under “Save workbooks” you'll need to enter the path to the personal templates location. Microsoft has instructions on how to do this here. If you prefer, you could also simply sell the workbook itself, and instruct users to create copies if they want to use it multiple times.
If you're working with Excel as a freelancer, what you charge could vary wildly depending on the type of work you do. If you're simply setting up basic spreadsheets with a few simple formulas, you might be charging around $25/hour. If you're an experienced consultant undertaking development work, you could be charging $150-$300/hour.
