What you'll have at the end
  • A published Payhip product
  • Configured tax handling
  • A tested checkout

Step 1 — Connect payments

Confirm which processors are available to you before pricing, since fees differ enough to change your net materially.

Step 2 — Decide tax handling

If you sell to the EU, let the platform handle VAT. Decide whether your listed price includes it, and state that on the page.

Step 3 — Publish and test

Run a full purchase, then a coupon purchase. Coupons are where most first launches break.
