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 PDFs online?

Selling PDFs online is simple with platforms like Payhip. Just upload your PDF file, set your price, and publish your product page to start selling directly to your audience. You can sell ebooks, guides, worksheets, planners, templates, printables, reports, and other downloadable PDF products from your own branded storefront. Payhip also handles secure payments, automatic file delivery, tax compliance, and customer downloads for you.

Where can I sell my PDFs?

You can sell PDFs on marketplaces or through your own website, but selling direct to your audience through platforms like Payhip gives you more control and higher profit margins. With Payhip, you can sell ebooks, guides, templates, worksheets, printables, planners, reports, and other PDF downloads from your own branded storefront while Payhip handles payments and automatic file delivery for you.

Is selling PDFs profitable?

Selling PDFs 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 embed direct checkout on my existing blog or website?

Yes. While you can build your entire website on Payhip, you can also embed Payhip checkout links directly into your existing blog or website. This means you do not need to migrate your site while still getting secure payments and automatic digital product delivery.

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

Yes, this is very easy to do with Payhip. Simply upload your PDFs 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 customers support you with an optional payment.

How do I drive traffic to my online store?

There are many ways to drive traffic to your online 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.
