How Payhip fees work
Payhip has three plans. Free costs nothing a month and takes 5% of each sale. Plus costs $29 a month and takes 2%. Pro costs $99 a month and takes nothing.
Stripe or PayPal charge their own processing on top. With Stripe that is 2.9% + $0.30, plus 1.5% for cards from outside the US. On a $20 sale on the Free plan you keep $18.12.
At $20 a sale, Plus beats Free from 49 sales a month and Pro beats Free from 100. Pick a plan under Plans, or read the break-even lines under the results for your own price.
