The main reason to look for a Payhip alternative is reach: a shop only sells to the buyers you send it. Bookstorez is a global marketplace where every live product is in the catalogue from the day it is published, with featured products on paid plans and a built-in AI ebook generator.

Why sellers look for a Payhip alternative
Payhip is a hosted shop. Its marketplace is open to a store only after it has made at least $10 in sales and been reviewed by Payhip's accounts team, and each product is then approved separately, which Payhip aims to do within 10 days (Payhip's marketplace). If you want buyers to find your products from day one, look for a marketplace.
Where Bookstorez is different
A marketplace that brings buyers, from your first product
Every live product on Bookstorez gets its own page and a place in the catalogue, where buyers browse every seller's ebooks, printables, planners, workbooks and templates by category, topic and shop. There is no sales threshold or approval wait before a product appears, and the fee is the same whether the catalogue found the buyer or you did.
Featured products on Creator and Pro
Creator includes 1 featured week a month and Pro 4. A featured product is shown in a Featured row at the top of its category and topic pages, first in searches it matches, and on a Featured shelf on the home page, for 7 days. Featuring is part of the plan, not an extra share of each sale.
A built-in AI ebook generator
The AI ebook generator plans, writes, designs and covers an ebook from your brief and notes, then turns it into a product in one step. Free includes 1 book a month; Creator 2 and Pro 5, without a watermark.
