Payhip vs Shoprocket

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.

Shoprocket is an ecommerce platform for adding store and checkout functions to an existing website, blog, landing page or social channel.

Its dashboard supports creating or importing products and variations and synchronising stock across sales channels. Sellers can also offer digital files with optional download attempt limits, expiry dates and IP restrictions. Shoprocket lists 45+ payment methods through providers including Stripe, PayPal, PayU, Verifone, Tranzila and Authorize.net, as well as crypto and offline payments. Integrations include webhooks, an open API, Zapier and accounting software connections. Plans are listed at $29 a month for Starter, $79 a month for Business and $199 a month for Plus, billed monthly.

Shoprocket charges 0% transaction fees, while payment gateway fees are separate. A 14-day trial is available, but there is no free plan. It offers Windows and Mac desktop applications; its website and dashboard are mobile-friendly, but it has no dedicated mobile app.
