Summary
Payhip provides a storefront, checkout and file delivery for digital products, with every feature on every plan; the plans differ only in transaction fee. It collects and remits EU/UK VAT and US/Canadian sales tax on digital sales. It does not print books or list them on Amazon. If your ebook is enrolled in KDP Select, selling the same ebook on Payhip breaks the Select exclusivity rule; print and other formats may be sold elsewhere. PayPal or Stripe processing fees apply on top.
