It literally takes three minutes to add a new product, it can be integrated with email service providers (when someone buys a product, it adds them to a list) plus on the Payhip store, there are cross sell and marketing opportunities that take seconds to set up. > > **Cons**: Payment processing fees are in line with others, but it won't deposit on weekends, and because of the time zone, sales payments might feel like processing pay out takes an extra day. This can be a frustration at first, but as you reach daily sales, the processing time can even out. > > I started using Payhip to sell my non-fictio books that weren't moving on other platforms. I had such a small audience and compared to other sites that did the same thing, Payhip just felt easier to use and set up. Plus I liked the store, and up-sell options: when somone adds a book to their cart, I can offer more books at a discount, which can increase total sale per client. It was easy to integrate with my ESP, and even has options inside payhip to create and send update emails. (like when I announce a new books\!) There are subscription options, and membership, plus I can sell physical items, which helps if I want to clean out some of my vintage closet contents and share with my newsletter. ----- ### "Simple and affordable for selling digital products." — 4.0/5 > **Jade** | *6 September 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Payhip is a cool platform for creators who want an easy way to sell digital products, memberships, or courses without needing complicated technical setups. Has the essentials down to a T, not bloated with features. > > **Cons**: Design customization is limited, lacks robust marketing analytics which can be helpful to digital creators. This is really digital product focused rather than volume. > > Pay-hip is smooth and creator friendly. It takes away a lot of the friction of setting up an online store. It's a little boring on Ui/Ux side of things but it gets the job done. ----- ### "Disappointed with Payhip" — 3.0/5 > **Theresa** | *25 September 2022* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: Payhip looked perfect for me. It was my website, store, and courses all on one platform. I tried the free version (which is great - you can do it free but the transaction fees are very high then\!) Set up was reasonably easy (except I had trouble figuring out image sizes\! it didn't say anywhere so it was trial and error\!) The course building was very simple to use. I really liked that part\! The chat feature with clients and prospective clients was excellent\! Real time - sent to my inbox and I could just reply via email to them. I think for a simple digital products store that you pay once and download it would be perfect\! They have an affiliate link program for my clients too - I do love that\!\!\! > > **Cons**: The client management side was difficult. Since I had courses - it was that part that was not ideal. I would have loved a teacher portal side that showed my courses on it - class lists, etc... more like canvas. Mostly it just felt clunky - hard to get around in. I thought I'd just figure it out and it would be easier but that didn't happen. Then they stopped answering my questions... no more support\! No reply when my clients on phones couldn't see my links. The loss of support was the end for me. > > It stared out great - they were attentive and helpful - but then I started to have issues that were not set up related and support went silent. No help or reply\! ----- ### "Payhip is the way to go" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *20 March 2026* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Payhip is user friendly setup. I have enjoyed using payhip. It has many useful add ons like analytics and the blog feature. > > **Cons**: It could have more addons. Thats pretty much it though on the cons for me. I like simple and this is it. > > I havent had issues and its been truly an awesome overall experience with them. I highly recommend payhip. ----- ### "Easy to use, works smoothly and a great price, what’s not to love\!" — 5.0/5 > **Donna** | *26 October 2025* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Easy to use and works so well. I love that Payhip lets you use the software without a monthly charge, this is so helpful when getting started. > > **Cons**: I haven’t found anything I dislike yet. If I was being picky I would say that it just took me a few clicks to figure out the design/colour options. > > When I had a question, it was answered by support promptly. I found the software easy to use and downloads work swiftly for my clients. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/351283/payhip?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/351283/payhip) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
