Payhip has no chat-based store ops. Quickshops does. Then compare fees, monthly pricing, and who owns checkout.
Payhip offers a free tier with a 5% fee. Payhip's lowest paid plan is $29/mo with a 2% platform fee. Quickshops Pro is €29/mo with 0% platform fees after a 7-day trial, plus chat-based store ops instead of another dashboard.
Chat-based store management
Update products, pricing, and your storefront from the apps you already use. No digging through admin menus. Quickshops is built around chat-first store ops; Payhip still expects you in a dashboard.
Quickshops supports store operations through Telegram, WhatsApp, Slack. Payhip does not offer an equivalent chat-based workflow for day-to-day catalog and pricing changes.
