A good fit if
  • You sell enough that Payhip's 2-5% adds up, but $99 a month feels steep
  • You want an upsell right after payment
  • You'd like your AI to set offers up for you
Not the right fit if
  • You want a full storefront with a theme and EU VAT handled for you. Payhip does both on every plan
