The Best Payhip Alternative
for European Creators
Switch from Payhip to PayRequest for a lower, capped 2% fee, automatic payouts to your own Stripe, Mollie or PayPal account, European payment methods like iDEAL and SEPA, plus professional invoicing.
Pay 2% instead of up to 5% — no plan required
Payhip charges 5% on the Free plan, or 2% if you pay $29/month for Plus. PayRequest charges 2% per sale — capped at €25 — with no monthly fee needed to unlock the lower rate.
Payhip's PayPal payouts are manual — by default
On Payhip's Free and Plus plans, PayPal withdrawals have to be triggered manually unless you upgrade to a PayPal Business or Premier account and turn on auto-transfers. Stripe payouts default to daily. PayRequest works differently: every payment goes straight to your own connected Stripe, Mollie, or PayPal account — there's no PayRequest-held balance to remember to withdraw.
- Payhip + PayPal (default)Manual withdrawal
- Payhip + PayPal (Business + auto-transfer)Daily / weekly / monthly, your choice
- Payhip + StripeDaily by default
- PayRequest + Stripe~2 business days, automatic
- PayRequest + MollieDaily, automatic
- PayRequest + PayPalInstant to your PayPal balance
Money never sits in a PayRequest-controlled balance waiting to be pulled out. It lands directly in the Stripe, Mollie, or PayPal account you already control, on that provider's own automatic schedule — the same account you'd use if you weren't using PayRequest at all.
That means one less login to check, one less "did my payout go through?" moment, and no dependency on PayRequest's own solvency to get your money.
