Payhip vs Bumbi: which one sells more of your digital products?
On this page
Bumbi is a platform for creators who sell digital products: ebooks, courses, templates and presets. This page puts the same questions to both platforms and scores them, but it only states facts about Bumbi; for the other side, our scores are our opinion and their site has the details. New here? Read what Bumbi is and how it works.
Digital downloads
Selling digital downloads with automatic delivery
The painYou made the ebook or the template pack. Now you want it in the buyer's hands the second they pay, without you sending a single email.
Bumbi delivers the file automatically the moment payment is confirmed. It hosts PDF, EPUB, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, CSV and TXT files up to 20 MB each, and every purchase also lands in the buyer's library at bumbi.io/access, opened with a code sent to their email. No password to forget, no "I lost the link" messages at midnight. Each product gets its own checkout link, so you can share one product in a story and your whole storefront in your bio.
Deliver once, correctly, forever.
Checkout
A checkout in the buyer's own currency
The painA buyer abroad sees a price in a currency they do not use, does the sum in their head, and closes the tab.
Bumbi shows buyers in other countries the price in their own currency where supported, with the payment methods they already use. You set one price, Bumbi handles the rest, and the checkout is built for phones first because that is where most of your buyers tap from. It is on the Free plan, free forever. Our guide on selling digital products to buyers in other countries walks through it.
Buyers pay in a currency they understand.
Sell worldwide
One product, one link, buyers in many countries
The painYour audience is spread across countries and you do not want a separate store for each one.
Bumbi sells from one product and one link. The same link shows each buyer their own currency where supported, so a follower at home and a follower abroad both get a checkout that makes sense to them. Sales land in your Bumbi Wallet, and every withdrawal to your bank is confirmed with a code sent to your email.
One price from you, the right currency for them.
Courses
Courses with lessons, quizzes and certificates
The painThe ebook sold well. The next step is a course, and you would rather not learn a second platform for it.
Bumbi Courses gives you sections and lessons, quizzes with a pass mark, and a certificate for students who finish. Lesson videos play from YouTube, Vimeo, Bunny or an HLS link, because Bumbi never hosts video itself, so your recordings stay where they already are. The course sells through its own checkout link and shows up in the same library as everything else the student bought from you.
Interview Prep Masterclass
Your next product lives next to your first one.
Memberships and coaching
Memberships that renew, and coaching calls people book themselves
The painOne-off sales are lumpy. Recurring income and paid calls smooth out the month.
Bumbi sells memberships and subscriptions that renew on their own, from the same checkout as your downloads. Coaching products come with a booking page: the client pays, then picks a time, with no back and forth in your DMs. See which Bumbi plan fits which creator.

Pick a time after payingRecurring money and booked calls in one account.
Order bumps and reminders
Order bumps and automatic checkout reminders
The painSome buyers would happily add a second product. Others fill in their details, get distracted, and never come back.
Bumbi puts an order bump on the checkout: a one-tick offer above the pay button, such as "Add the workbook". Order bumps are on for every seller. For the people who start checkout and do not pay, Bumbi sends checkout reminders automatically, so you get a second chance at the sale without writing a thing. Read why people start checkout but do not pay.
Bigger orders from buyers, a second chance with the ones who left.
WhatsApp follow-up from your own number
The painYour buyers read WhatsApp in minutes and your emails in days, if at all.
Bumbi connects your own WhatsApp number in Settings, with no API account and no template approval. Your forms collect a WhatsApp number with a consent box, and only people who ticked it get your list messages. The messages are timed: immediately, after a few days, or on day N at a set time, and every new person on the list gets them at their own pace. Anyone who unsubscribes is never messaged again. Starter, Growth and Elite include 300, 3,000 and 12,000 list messages a month. Here is how to sell an ebook on WhatsApp with automatic delivery.
Follow up where your buyers actually read.
Webinars
Webinars you record once that sell on a schedule
The painA product page converts a few people. A class that shows your method converts far more, and you cannot teach it live every evening.
Bumbi takes your recording and runs it as scheduled live sessions: a registration page, email and WhatsApp reminders, an offer card on screen while it plays, countdown offers and a replay for people who missed it. Your video stays on YouTube, Vimeo, Bunny or an HLS link. Video sales letter pages are there too. Read how to turn a YouTube video into a webinar.
Teach once, sell every week.
Pages
Sales pages from a template, a builder, or ChatGPT
The painA product listing is not a sales page. You want a real page with your story on it, without hiring a developer.
Bumbi gives you three ways to make a page: start from a template, build it in the visual page builder, or paste one HTML file, for example a page ChatGPT or Claude wrote for you. Your form and checkout buttons are wired in, and the Elite plan puts it on your own domain. See how to put a ChatGPT HTML page online with your own domain.
A real sales page in minutes.
Affiliates and tracking
Affiliates, verified reviews and ad tracking
The painOther people could sell for you, and your ads could be smarter, if the tracking were not such a chore.
Bumbi lets you switch on affiliates for a product, and each sale is tracked to the person who sent it. Bumbi asks buyers for a review and shows it as a verified purchase on your product page. For ads, add your Meta Pixel ID in Integrations, no code needed. Plan limits are on the pricing page.
More people selling, reviews you can trust, ads that learn.
