Payhip vs Robora

Payhip is an e-commerce platform for selling digital and physical products, courses, coaching, and memberships directly to customers. Its drag-and-drop website builder supports storefronts, landing pages, and custom CSS, while product delivery can use a download page and email links. Course tools include videos, quizzes, certificates, drip content, and progress tracking. Sellers can set one-time payments, subscriptions, payment plans, pay-what-you-want pricing, and membership free trials. The platform names several payment gateways and integrations, and provides webhooks and a public API for coupons and license keys. Payhip says it automatically calculates, collects, and remits VAT and sales tax in the USA, Canada, UK, and EU. Protection features include PDF stamping, download limits, expiring links, customer and regional blocking, and account two-factor authentication. All plans include unlimited products, customers, revenue, bandwidth, and storage. Free Forever costs nothing with a 5% transaction fee; Plus is $29 a month with a 2% fee; Pro is $99 a month with no transaction fee. Payhip was founded in 2011 and is headquartered in London, United Kingdom.

Robora is a web service for selling products, content, and services through pages, links, and widgets. Its listed offerings include apparel, courses, e-books, video and audio content, webinars, subscriptions, subscription boxes, local meetups, and services. Sellers can run daily deals, sales or pre-sales, name-your-price offers, and recurring sales. Robora provides pages for files, products, services, and deals, and handles payments. Service charges can be hourly, monthly, annually, or one time. Sellers may share a link or add a widget to their own site; the file widget works with websites or blogs, keeps visitors on the seller’s site, and provides a list of downloaders. Robora says payments do not require a merchant account or PayPal account, and Stripe processes them. Its Starter plan is free with a $10 pricing limit and a 6% + 30¢ processing fee. Unlimited costs $15 a month, with no pricing limit and a 2.9% + 30¢ processing fee. Robora says it is currently available only to people living in the United States, with US customer payouts by direct deposit.
