Is Checkout Page a good Payhip alternative?

It depends on your monthly sales. Under $3K a month, Checkout Page has no plan fee, while Payhip's free plan takes 5% of each sale, as of October 2026. Above $3K, Payhip's paid plans cost the same as ours or less, so the choice comes down to features. Pick Checkout Page to sell event tickets with QR check-in, memberships and donations next to your downloads, from checkouts inside your own website. Stay with Payhip for a ready-made storefront with every feature on every plan and VAT and sales tax handled for you.

Pricing checked October 2026.

Why sellers switch from Payhip

Payhip unlocks every feature on every plan, which is rare and worth saying. What it charges for is the sale itself.

Free where Payhip's free plan takes 5%

While Payhip's free plan unlocks every feature and sets no product limits, it takes a share of every sale you make. Checkout Page is free up to $3K in monthly sales.

  • Free up to $3K in monthly sales

    The Free plan has no monthly fee and takes no percentage. Past $3K, plans are priced by volume from $99/mo ($83/mo billed yearly).

  • Every sale on your own Stripe account

    Payments, subscriptions and payouts run through your Stripe, in your name. Payhip pays out to your Stripe too, so this is where the two are alike. Payhip also remits EU and UK VAT for you; with Checkout Page you collect tax under your own name.

  • Sell what Payhip does not

    Event tickets with QR check-in run on the same plan as everything else you sell. Payhip sells PDF ticket files you make yourself.
