Migration guide

Migrate from Payhip to 2DL while keeping your site intact.

Use your current site as the storefront, then move payment flow, entitlements, and secure delivery to 2DL so the backend matches the way you sell now.


Why sellers make this switch

This migration usually happens when sellers want a more owned storefront, tighter access control, and a cleaner separation between their content site and their commerce backend.

Why sellers make this move

Keep the storefront you already built

Leave your content and marketing pages where they are, then plug in 2DL for checkout and delivery.

Upgrade from basic delivery to entitlement-based access

Use signed links and refund-aware revocation instead of relying on simpler delivery flows.

Reduce platform lock-in

Use Payhip as an early-stage launchpad, then move toward a stack where your site and buyer journey stay under your control.

Recommended migration plan

  1. Inventory your Payhip products, prices, files, and any post-purchase instructions that buyers currently receive.
  2. Create each product in 2DL, upload files, and define the entitlement logic that should govern access.
  3. Connect Stripe, then run test purchases end-to-end so receipts and downloads behave the way you want.
  4. Swap Payhip buttons and checkout links on your highest-converting pages first, then move the rest in waves.
  5. Maintain a support plan for historical Payhip buyers while all new transactions go through 2DL.

Migration checklist before you switch

  • Map each Payhip product to a 2DL product before changing any public links.
  • Confirm every live CTA, email link, and thank-you page points to the new flow before launch day.
  • Test refunds and disputes so access revocation works the way you expect.
  • Update buyer support docs to reflect the new receipts, download screens, and account expectations.

FAQ

Can I migrate from Payhip without changing my domain?

Yes. The usual path is to keep your domain and site exactly where they are, then replace the checkout and delivery layer.

Do I need to move every product at once?

No. Most sellers do better with a phased rollout so they can measure conversion and support impact before moving the full catalog.

What does 2DL add that matters most during migration?

Hosted checkout, entitlement-backed delivery, signed links, and refund-aware access control are the biggest operational upgrades.

Can I still support old Payhip buyers?

Yes. You can keep historical access where it already lives while all new sales route through 2DL.
