Their cut
Payhip takes a share of every sale. It shrinks only when you pay more each month. The better you do, the more that percentage costs you.

Coming from Payhip?
Payhip gives you a store for digital products without building a site. That is a real head start. The catch is the cut it takes on every sale. That cut only shrinks when you pay for a higher plan, so growing with Payhip means paying Payhip more.
The store in a box
Payhip's pitch is that you can sell today, without a website or any setup. You upload a product and get a page with a checkout. You can even run a storefront with courses, memberships, and coupons. For someone starting from nothing, that is a lot handed to you at once.
When the cut starts to sting
Payhip takes a percentage of every sale, on top of what the card processor already charges. The free plan takes the most. The cut only falls if you pay a monthly fee. Sellers with their own audience do the math and notice they are paying a store fee on buyers the store never found.
What stays the same
You still sell files without running anything yourself. Attach the file to a product. The moment a payment confirms, we deliver the download from our side. The part you liked still holds: selling with nothing to run.
The fee math
Our Pro plan, flat
Pro is a flat monthly price with thousands of transactions included. The bill does not grow just because you had a good month.
Our cut of your sales
We take nothing from a sale, on any plan, ever. The flat fee is the only fee we charge.
Weigh it honestly
What you gain
- A flat price instead of a percentage: free up to 150 transactions a month, then Pro at $24.
- Sales on your own page, under your own brand.
- Pay-what-you-want pricing built in.
- Payment options Payhip does not offer: crypto and pay-by-mail.
What you give up
- The ready-made storefront and product pages. Your own site is the store now.
- Built-in memberships and coupons as Payhip packages them.
- Payhip's affiliate and email tools.
How to make the move
- Create a project and connect your own card provider.
- Recreate each product and attach its file for automatic delivery.
- Paste a button per product on your own page.
- Repoint your Payhip links at your page, then test the flow in test mode.
- Keep the old store up while past buyers need it, then close it when it goes quiet.
Memberships and subscriptions cannot move between systems. Existing ones keep billing on Payhip until they end. Tell those buyers to resubscribe through your button before you close the store.
A fair case for staying
If Payhip's storefront, memberships, and built-in tools are doing real work for you, that bundle may be worth its cut. This page is for sellers who already have their own page and audience.
Try it before you decide
The free plan is a full sandbox. You get every feature and 150 transactions a month, and we never ask for a card.
