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
Leave your content and marketing pages where they are, then plug in 2DL for checkout and delivery.
Use signed links and refund-aware revocation instead of relying on simpler delivery flows.
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
- Inventory your Payhip products, prices, files, and any post-purchase instructions that buyers currently receive.
- Create each product in 2DL, upload files, and define the entitlement logic that should govern access.
- Connect Stripe, then run test purchases end-to-end so receipts and downloads behave the way you want.
- Swap Payhip buttons and checkout links on your highest-converting pages first, then move the rest in waves.
- 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.
