DE Payhip Alternative Sell Digital, Physical Products Without any Transaction Fee
WHICH ONE FITS YOU
Two tools, two different ways to collect payments
Payhip works well when you want a creator storefront. PaymentForm.io fits better when you need a simple form-based checkout link for collecting payments, orders, donations, fundraising, tickets, or membeships.
Where Payhip works well
Payhip makes sense when your main goal is to run a creator store. If you sell ebooks, templates, music, courses, coaching, or memberships, it gives you a place to list products and accept payments.
It is useful when you want product pages, store-style selling, and creator commerce features in one place.

Where PaymentForm.io fits better

Steps
How it works
Create your first payment form in three simple steps
Select Your Module
Choose the module that fits what you want to collect, whether it’s product payments, donations, fundraising contributions, event ticket sales, membership payments, or more.
1
Customize Your Form
Add necessary fields, header image, adjust the design to match your brand, create discount coupons, configure delivery options, and connect your payment gateway (Stripe, PayPal, etc.).
2
Share and Collect
Get your unique link, embed code, or QR code. Start collecting payments and track every response from your dashboard.
3
WHAT YOU CAN CREATE
One Tool for Every Use Case
Choose a module, customize the form, and start collecting payments for products, donations, fundraisers, event tickets, membership payments, or more.
E-Commerce (Physical products)
Sell one or multiple physical products with a form-based checkout. Add images, categories, pricing, variants, quantity, shipping options, custom fields, tax settings, and coupons so buyers can place orders without a full online store.
Fundraising Module
Run fundraising campaigns with goal amounts, progress tracking, deadlines, preset donation amounts, and custom contributions. Share one link so supporters can donate through a simple form-based checkout.
Donation Module
Create donation forms for one-time or recurring giving. Add preset amounts, custom donation options, donation frequency, form fields, payment gateways, and automated receipts so supporters can donate through a simple form-based checkout. Manage every donation submission from one dashboard.
E-Commerce (Digital products)
Sell eBooks, templates, guides, files, or other digital downloads with a simple form-based checkout. Add product details, pricing, preview images, payment options, and file delivery settings so buyers can purchase and access your product easily.
Event tickets Module
Sell event tickets with a simple form-based checkout. Add ticket types, pricing, form fields, event information, and payment options, then manage registrations from your dashboard. You can also use QR code scanning to check in attendees at the event.
Memberships Module
Create membership forms with one-time, monthly, or yearly payment options. Collect member details, offer different membership plans, manage submissions from your dashboard, and let members join through a simple form-based checkout.
