How to Sell Online Courses With Payhip

Wondering how to sell online courses with Payhip for free?

For all of bad news around here, here’s a good one: You’ll be able to create, upload, design, host, and sell online courses absolutely free of cost [watch the video below]

Using Payhip, you can sell digital products, physical products, coaching, accept recurring payments for subscriptions, and also sell online courses (with Payhip’s new online course features). 

Most platforms out there would need you to pay money to get started with any of their premium features that online course creators need.

Some platforms, like Gumroad, do offer you these functionalities (free to use) but they have a convoluted pricing structure (read: more expensive than you thought), zero degree of freedom when it comes to designing your pages, product pages, course pages, and checkout.

  • Customizable digital storefront (with a way to edit how your online course storefront looks — including individual landing pages for each online course with dedicated thank you pages and checkout pages. 
  • Ability to use different lesson types — text, video, assignments, quiz, and so on. 
  • Freedom to either use Payhip’s online video hosting service or other video hosting services (such as Vimeo, Wistia, or YouTube). 
  • Marketing features such as the ability to connect with email marketing platforms such as ConvertKit, Mailchimp, Drip, and others.
