Hey guys, I'm finding Payhip to be a real one stop shop and makes life so much easier for a noobie business owner like me!! Can I ask if would do a video on email marketing from your platform please? How it's set up, how to collect email, etc :)

I wish you could slow down and really show us beginners how to actually create something that is pleasing. How to add accounts so customers can sign in and find their products, etc. For those of us with no website skills it sure would be helpful.

Hi Elona, we apologize if there's anything on the video that wasn't clear. We tried to make it as succinct as possible to ensure that the video doesn't get too long. But we'd be more than happy to help you get set up. Please reach out to [e-mail] as our support team can help answer your specific questions :) As for how to create customer accounts, we have a help center article on our website with the step by step guide: help.payhip.com/article/216-customer-accounts We'd also be happy to guide you over at [e-mail] as well. Hope this clarifies - thank you!

[@PositivitysDust]

I hope there is an option to design a website in scratch and freely similar to wix. Also hope you would have some animations transition for the website🥰🥰

[@payhip]

Payhip's store builder allows you to fully customize the design of your store to match your brand. Furthermore, if you connect a custom domain to Payhip, you can even embed a block of code on your store pages. This allows you to add all kinds of things to your store. :) Feel free to send us a message at [e-mail] if you have any questions at all.

[@CaptZenPetabyte]

I have 3 businesses I think I will swap to Payhip, then I wont need to much around with different providers and/or spend hours getting integrations working ... this seems like it could be the answer for me.

[@payhip]

Thank you for considering Payhip! We hope to see you on our platform soon. :)

[@EMD-xd4qm]

This seems like a superb platform. Thank you for this. However, this video was extremely hard to watch as it was too speedy, and there was not enough magnification and focus on key areas of the site and functional steps, like adding a custom domain. This needed to be delineated more. Also, if you mention the Google SERP, you MUST inform the viewer as to where the link to a Google analytics tracker should be added to this lovely site you have just created. These are my critiques, but this is a nice service overall. Thank you again. 🙏

[@payhip]

Hi there, thanks so much for the feedback! We'll be sure to take it into account for future videos. For now, if you need any assistance with connecting a custom domain, this article should help: help.payhip.com/article/206-custom-domain And here's how to integrate Google Analytics: help.payhip.com/article/93-google-analytics

That's one of our goals actually! Helping business owners launch their website successfully :) We have articles with step by step instructions about setting up taxes and shipping costs here: help.payhip.com/ And yes, if the item is no longer in stock, it would not be available and we definitely won't take payment from the customer. :)

Would love to use this site to sell physical products. Can the next video shows step by step on how to set it up and how the cash out process works?

[@payhip]

Absolutely! We actually have a video tutorial dedicated for selling physical products using Payhip. You can see it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJinfqdoiMyMeq8 In terms of the cash out process, it's instantaneous. As long as you connect your Payhip account to Stripe or Paypal or both, you will get paid out as orders come in. We showcase this on our "How to get started on Payhip" video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oXaveHV5orOtmq8 Hope this helps :)

Hi! Any chances of you adding scroll animations to the websites, both store and blog? I understand that there is an option for using custom code. But if I could do that I would not be requesting to add the options for scroll animation in the drag and drop settings. 😅 So, please consider adding scroll animation.

Does my blog posts with Payhip comes with SEO that will pick up on Google? Will I gain much traffic for my website or do I have to promote them like on social media, etc.?

[@payhip]

Hi!! In terms of SEO tools you have available for blogs, you are able to add image alt texts that help improve your SEO. Adding a description for your images also helps search engine crawlers understand what that image is. SEO is one of the most cost-effective marketing strategies for improving your ranking in search results. However, we also recommend you promote your website on social media or any other online presence you may have.

Hi there! When you sign up for an account, we automatically create a website for you by default. This website can be customized to match your brand via the store Builder, and you have the option to connect a custom domain, though it is not required. Payhip provides hosting for your website, so you don’t need to worry about finding a separate hosting service as well. :)

Heyy! Is there anyway we can change the theme of the website to an image instead of just a color?

How can I remove or at least hide the "all products" section? I tried hiding it but it says that it's my homepage although I changed that!

Hi there! You'll need to designate a new homepage before you can hide the "all products" section. To do this, navigate to the page you'd like to set as your new homepage, click the gear icon, and select the "Set as New Homepage" option. You can proceed to hide the collection afterward. If you've followed these steps, but still require additional assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us at [e-mail].
