Try Sellisy — $19/moSee Pricing

Payhip is a popular Gumroad alternative with tiered fees and decent storefronts. Sellisy goes further: 6 designer templates, a PLR library, AI creator tools, and a branded customer portal — at a competitive flat price.

// The Verdict

Payhip's free plan is great for testing. For a serious storefront, Sellisy's flat $9 with 0% fee beats Payhip's free tier (5% fee) above ~$180/mo, and crushes Payhip Plus ($29 + 2%) outright.

// Why Sellisy wins for most creators

  • ✦Six storefront templates vs Payhip's single theme — your store looks like you, not like every other Payhip seller.
  • ✦0% transaction fee starts at $9. Payhip's 0% only kicks in at $99/mo Pro.
  • ✦PLR library + AI mockup/copy tools (on Growth+) — Payhip has neither.
  • ✦Multi-store support if you run multiple brands.

// When Payhip is the right call

  • ○You sell courses or memberships as your primary product type.
  • ○You want Payhip-branded EU VAT collection without setting up Stripe Tax (Sellisy uses Stripe Tax; both work, different UX).
  • ○You want a free tier with no monthly cost and can absorb 5% per sale.

// Common questions

FAQ

Is Payhip's free plan a better deal?+

If you do less than ~$180/mo in sales, yes — Payhip's 5% beats Sellisy's $9. Above that, Sellisy is cheaper. Bump to Sellisy Growth ($29) for the PLR library + AI tools.

Does Sellisy handle EU VAT like Payhip?+

Yes — flip the 'Automatic tax' toggle in your store settings and Stripe Tax handles VAT collection at checkout for every EU country. You still need to register where you owe tax (same as Payhip's free tier).

Can I run a membership site on Sellisy?+

Yes — memberships are built in. Mark any product as a monthly or yearly subscription and Sellisy handles recurring billing on your own Stripe (0% platform fee), gates the content while the subscription is active, and gives buyers a portal to manage or cancel. The course player includes lessons, video embeds, quizzes, certificates, and drip schedules. Community features are the main thing Payhip-style platforms still add.
