The staff are friendly and ever so willing to help even a beginner start up. Friendly to use app with lovely features that offer a variety of options to help boost your creativity and income. > > **Cons**: Would be nice to have a direct payment into one's bank account, considering the fees and time taken to withdraw from Paypal, bit of a bummer, for me personally, considering I am a South Africanand the fees charged and time that Paypal takes. > > Excellent to say the least. Very Easy to work with. ----- ### "Payhip eCommerce Review" — 5.0/5 > **Refioe** | *10 June 2024* | Writing & Editing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Payhip is very convenient for anyone who desires to sell digital products, and I know this because I use it for selling my ebooks. One other thing I love about Payhip, is the fact that they only take %5 from every sale you make, which is very fair since they have made things easy for whomever yearns to sell online. > > **Cons**: Currently, nothing, I am content with how they run their platform. > > I think I would describe my experience with Payhip as exquisite since I find endless delight in using it. ----- ### "How my Payhip store become a hub for my online sales strategy." — 5.0/5 > **Chris** | *25 February 2026* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I have been using payhip as my main store for over three years and would recommend it to any author, creator or even a unique newsletter specialist. 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** | *06 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. ----- ### "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. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/1029466/payhip?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.za/software/1029466/payhip) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | it | | ----- ## Structured Data
