Gumroad
Choose Payhip if your job is selling templates, ebooks or courses to a newsletter or social audience you already have. Choose Gumroad if your job is testing a first product with no audience yet, where a marketplace of browsing buyers is worth the 30%.
Sellfy
Choose Payhip if your job is selling ebooks, templates, courses or coaching to buyers in several countries without a VAT registration of your own. Choose Sellfy if your job is a creator store with print-on-demand merch beside the downloads, and someone already files your VAT.
Shopify
Choose Payhip if your job is selling downloads, courses, memberships or coaching to buyers in many countries without filing their VAT yourself. Choose Shopify if your job is a catalogue with physical stock, where digital products are one shelf among several.
Stan Store
Choose Stan Store if your job is selling calls, courses and downloads from a link-in-bio, with Instagram replies automated. Choose Payhip if your job is a store on your own domain or website, selling to buyers in many countries with the tax handled.
