Overview
Payhip is an e-commerce platform for digital products, including ebooks, downloads, memberships, coaching and online courses. Its pricing is structured around transaction fees rather than features: the Free Forever plan costs nothing but takes 5% of each sale, Plus costs US$29 a month with a 2% fee, and Pro costs US$99 a month with no Payhip fee.[16] All three plans include all features, unlimited products and unlimited revenue, and PayPal and Stripe charge their standard rates on top.[16]
For a creator testing a first course, the free plan removes fixed cost entirely; the break-even point between plans depends on monthly sales volume, since the percentage fee falls as the subscription rises. Payhip’s course tools are simpler than those of dedicated course platforms, and the pricing page does not list course-specific features, so assessments, certificates and drip scheduling should be checked against the product’s own course documentation before committing.[16] It suits creators whose courses sit alongside downloadable products in one shop.
