Payhip vs Gumroad for Excel templates

Both Payhip and Gumroad sell digital files — including Excel workbooks — with instant download after checkout. The better fit depends on fees, payout preferences, and how you want the product page to feel. Neither platform replaces the spreadsheet itself.

Fee schedules change. Confirm current rates on each platform’s official site before you list. This page is a shopper/seller comparison, not financial advice.

What does not change

The Excel file is the same zip either way
Yellow input cells and gray formulas still work offline after download
No macros means fewer “enable content” friction points for buyers
Support is still “open in Excel / LibreOffice and replace sample rows”

Platform choice is checkout and discovery. It is not a different template.
