How to setup a Payhip shop and sell digital products
OMG thank you so much. This was doing my head in. And in less than five minutes I had it down. I normally don't subscribe to anything but I can't go past this page. Thank you!!
I'm so pleased you found it helpful! Thank you!
Nice video. I wonder why am not seeing that bold text underneath pic w/o bckgnd., does it need its transparency to be reduced, as well ?
Hey! No, no need to adjust the transparency. The visibility relates to it's layers. If you can't see the bold text, there's something in front of it.
@@michellemarks Tx Michelle a lot. I found that full so non tramsparent photos in Canva cannot be seen thru, so it works well w/ photos. All fine
you took a long time to get to the point
Great feedback, thanks. I'm sure there are plenty of shorter videos for people who don't want a guided walkthrough!
do you know if we could create a landing page on payhip?meaning a noffer and an email input in order for the audience or customer to get the offer? I know we can make custom pages .
Hi, thanks for asking! Yes, you'll just create the landing page as a new custom page in Payhip, then embed your sign up forms in the page using the code block. Unfortunately, at this time, you can't disable headers and footers on individual pages which is typical of landing pages.
Hi Michelle thanks for this video. I'm following all the steps in your video to resize my square image into an A4 Portrait, but the image doesn't fill the A4 page like yours does? it gives me the image with a border at the top and bottom of the page. Any help would be great please? Thanks so much Jo
Hi Jo, sorry to hear you're having trouble with it. Are you able to resize the image manually? You're welcome to email me a screenshot of what you see so I can troubleshoot it with you.
@@michellemarks Hi Michelle thank you for your offer of help. I've sent you an email with some screen shots. I really appreciate this. I have tried resizing myself but it still doesn't fill the page. Cheers Jo
Thank you Michelle, that's very helpful! 🙂
Thank you 😊
You're very welcome 🤗
This mini tutorial is perfect for solving my time tracking problem in just a few minutes! Purchasing your templates cause they are gorgeous! Thanks soooooo much for helping me manage my ADHD brain in a much simpler way than I was expecting when I searched for time tracking in excel. I was about to use a web-based stopwatch to track intervals and then export and import as csv. Now I can just use excel the whole time and avoid switching apps!! Thank you!!
From one ADHD brain to another, you're very welcome 😄 I'm so pleased you found the tutorial helpful, and thank you for purchasing the spreadsheet 💕 Enjoy!
Please, can you show how to import reviews clients on Payhip? Thanks
Hey! I have a tutorial on setting up reviews feature in Payhip (the video is here: ruclips.net/video/IzjCRfky_5A/видео.htmlsi=YLaHVK9sT2rFeIWZ). Is that what you need? Or have you already set it up and you're looking to import existing reviews into it?
@@michellemarks Thanks, your video is very helpful, I didn't have this informations. Please, I want to know how to do if I want myself to import reviews from another site to my page?
thank you
You're most welcome 😊
Very clear instructions; thank you so much
I'm glad it was helpful, thank you!
This was very helpful thank you.
I'm so pleased it was helpful, thank you!

Hi Michelle! I really need help with removing the border around my product listing thumbnail or photo. I don't know how to get rid of it without affecting the header's color. I don't know why but they simultaneously change the color every time I change the font's header color. I want to have a clear or no border around my product photo listings like the one you have in your shop. PLEASE HELP!
Hey! Thanks for reaching out 😊 Do you want to send me the link to your shop or product so I can have a look at what's going on?
@@michellemarks Oh I was going ask you also, what theme in Payhip did you choose for your shop? :) Maybe that helps. I want to try that first. I'm currently using the Oasis theme.
Good idea! I used the Echoes theme.
@@michellemarks oh it worked! I'm so happy now. I guess the borders only shows depending on the type of theme you choose. haha...
Fantastic! Glad it's sorted now. And great to know about the themes too! I remember being frustrated by something similar in my early Payhip store.
but canva does not have this anymore, and i need this shadow effect. has someone been able to find this? if they have, i would really appreciate a reply. thanks
Hey! Canva does still have the shadow effect, although not for all elements. I've just checked and the shadow effect seems to be available for photos, text and graphics, but not for frames or shapes.
@@michellemarks sorry for not being specific, there was backdrop shadow effect which is not available anymore, this is different from the drop shadow effect which is still available at the moment. It was such a good feature, i dont know why they removed it honestly
Hey Michelle.... I am struggling to figure out how to take a photo and make certain objects within the photo Canva Frames. Specifically, right now, I am wanting to create some phone case mockups.... and I'm working with photos of people holding phones.... and trying to take that phone and make it so that when you upload it into Canva, the back of the phone shows up as a frame so that the user can place their design right into it. Do you know how to do this?
Hey there! Thanks for asking. What you're working to achieve is possible, but probably not within Canva itself. I'd start by searching for tutorials for how to make mock-ups in Photoshop, then using those skills to create Canva compatible ones. Unfortunately I don't have any tutorials for that, but a quick search in RUclips should come up with some good tutorials. Good luck!
Thanks a lot for the tutorial. I have a question.Do you know how to make the sizes of the checkboxes bigger? I resized them to be bigger but when I tried to see how they look the check sign was too small almost invisible.
Hiya Carie, thanks for asking. Unfortunately, I think that's one of the limitations to the free version of PDF Escape. There's no option to resize the actual check mark itself. If it's just one PDF you need to edit, perhaps use a trial version of Adobe Acrobat? Or if you have lots to do it might actually be worth having the subscription as the tools are SO good! Hopefully you find a solution either way, good luck!
Do pages need to be linked to change all on the colors?
Hi Betty, no, not linked, but as long as they're in the same document it should be able to change all colours. Are you having some trouble with it?
@@michellemarks no mam...just was not sure how it worked.
@@BettyMullins Ok sure, so yes as long as it's in the same document it'll update all colours ☺️
Michelle you are an excellent teacher1 I have been watching videos for days trying to understand how to do this! I am trying to make my first designs for Spoonflower and they provide no help at all for beginners. I was going to give it one last day before giving up completely and happened upon your video. It is absolutely a Godsend for my fledgling business! Can’t thank you enough (<:)
Oooooooh you have NO idea how happy this makes me!! Thank you so much for sharing, and I'm so pleased you found my video and that it was so helpful for you! ❤️
So the option 2 workaround is for us to have to do more work? This is no dig at you, but at Canva. Absolutely baffled that they can consider this an upgrade. At this time of writing, the old editor is only available for a few more weeks, so it looks like option 2 is the only choice. Gah!
Yes, it was completely frustrating at the time. But you should now have the shadows feature back!
@@michellemarks No, I still don't have it? I reverted to the old editor in order to access shadows feature. But I can't see it on the new editor.
Oh no, you certainly should have it. I wonder if it's a bug or something in your account. There's a couple of things I don't have that others do, so it's possible. I'd say your next step would be to Canva to ask why. We can't live without drop shadow!!
@@michellemarks OK that's worth knowing, thank you!
When I try to do curved text it reverts back to the standard font. Can you only do curved, custom font text on the PRO version?
Quite possibly. I actually thought you could only upload custom fonts in the pro version, but I may be mistaken. If not, it may be a little glitch. It happens to me from time to time.
I have a question. I can't seem to find any tutorials about how to to create an Electronic Signature in PDF escape. Can you perhaps make a tutorial on this please
Hey Chrissie! Thanks for the question. I'm not certain you can manage signatures in PDFEscape. I think you'll need another PDF editor like Adobe Acrobat, or pair PDFEscape with a signing app like DocuSign, HelloSign or PandaDoc.
I seem to have a problem here spite of my excitement. I saved a canna blurb in pdf, tried to open it in word but is not possible as it asks if it is in Text Format etc etc. I tried to open it as a picture from file but then the word doc doest have the option of Shape Format. Rather I see Picture Format and I cannot do all those with Picture Format. Am I missing out something here? Thank you
Hi there, thanks for reaching out. When you say a blurb, do you mean it's multiple paragraphs of text? Having lots of individual elements like that may not work with this process, plus if Word is picking up the text it changes the type of format. I hope you've found a workaround, if not it may be something that can only be done with Illustrator.
Fantastic
Thank you so much been frustrated with this, you have made it so much easier
I'm so happy it made the process easier ❤️
yes it did it helped me understand the principles and basics which is the most important thing. I shared a tutorial on my shops tiktok based on what i learned here. it’s Carina Crafts and prints. like u I want to be able to share tips and tricks and everything I learn to help fellow crafters. I really appreciate u for this
Great tutorial to learn more about Payhip basics 🎉
Thank you, I'm pleased it was helpful.
I was wondering how to find a font from within Canva (Malibu) and install the work to Silhouette and have it print out. When I download it the letters alot of the times are missing and I try to find the font on line to match but are unable too. The Malibu in Canva is fancy with flourishes but silhouette is basic. Please help!
Hiya Jennifer, thanks for asking. I haven't used Silhouette (I'm assuming is the design space for the cutting machine?) so I may not be able to help. Is there a way you can save your Canva designs as PNGs or SVGs and import them into Silhouette? That may be a workaround to allow you to keep the floruishes.
Michelle, Thanks very much for this clear tutorial. I did run up against one issues, and that is with multi-line text. When I open the box for that option, it will only allow me to set up to 100 characters, but nothing more than that. 100 characters isn't nearly enough for what I need. Is there some hidden way to make it more than 100? Thanks again very much.
Hiya Tom, I apologise for not replying sooner. I've been away from my computer (relocating interstate). But I just popped into PDFEscape to see how we can fix this issue. If you set the length to 100 characters that's the max, however if you leave it set to 0 then you can type more than 100 characters. I've just tested it, so give it a go and see if it works for you. I've got my fingers crossed 🤞
what about homepage duplicate content? I mean your custom page and domain will have the same content. Google don't like that. Do you have any solution about that issue?
This is exactly the same as any other website - Wordpress, Squarespace, Wix, Shopify - they all have this structure. You're just assigning one of the pages as a homepage, no duplication.
This is exactly the information I needed. I thought I had to resize all the slides in my design. I'm so happy to find out I can choose one or a few. Thanks!
So glad it was helpful! Gah, would hate to have to resize every single page in a slide 😖
Michelle , this was so much fun doing it with you!! Now for me to play around some more!
Yaaaay! I'm so glad you had fun. Enjoy 😃
This is so awesome! Thank you for sharing! Canva doesn't seem to allow me to copy and paste from Word while keeping the font I used. Can you advise?
You're welcome! But sorry it's not working as it should. Can you check that you've got the right font selected in your text box in Canva before you paste?
Hi, this video was extremely helpful to see the perspective from the buyers. I agree, it isn't usually talked about from the viewers perspective. I watched your other video on payhip, which is great also. Will you do a video on how to add a Domain name from Namesilo to payhip. I'm a newbie and looked at the list they had for specific instructions and Namesilo wasn't on their list. It did have a generic how to set up Domain from other domain providers, however, I'm a newbie and its a bit overwhelming on what to do exactly as I've never had my own website before. Please make a video on setting up a domain on payhip. Thank you for all your great content on RUclips and Canva videos too. You make it easy and explain everything so far I've watched that you have on your videos. I also like how you get to the point, where others talk and talk and talk so your videos are great! Thanks!
Hiya! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a comment. I'm so pleased my videos are helpful to you. I don't have an account with Namesilo, so unfortunately I probably won't be able to make a video for you. Are there any Facebook support groups for Namesilo that you can find and ask for help?
didn't work for me. followed steps exactly, when get the pdf into word i never see my image as a "shape" like what shows in your example so there is no way to "fill" my image. i spent 4 hours trying to make it work, i guess i am missing something. thank you for the detailed video, i just messed up somewhere i guess
Thanks so much for your comment, I can honestly say it has given me grief on occasion, so you're not the only one. If you ever get Adobe Illustrator, there is a much more straightforward method that works every time.
This is a very good job. Thank you.
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Wonderful video and the clarity you are explaining everything with, subscribed :)
Thank you so much, appreciate you!
Wow!
Thanks!
I've found a Canva Frame that is backward from what I need. Is there a way to flip a frame within Canva? Thank you.
Unfortunately, I don't believe you can flip it within Canva. A workaround may be to use the frame you found, add your photo, then save the design as a transparent PNG. Then reupload the PNG into Canva and flip the image. Not ideal, but hopefully will get you by!
Thank you so much. I will try thise@@michellemarks
How to edit / correct previously filled form which was created with PDF Escape
First, login to PDFEscape and see if the editable file is still there (if you edited it originally). If not, see if you can upload it back into PDFEscape and see if it detects the existing form fields.
I tried to pull up the PDF in Word, but it told me the size was too big and couldn't finish uploading. Is there a work around this? Thank you!
Yes, try again but with a smaller canvas size in Canva first, or with less pages. I'm not sure how large your artboard is in Canva, but that'll be your first step. Perhaps start with a custom size that's around 500x500 pixels and see if it helps.
Anyone else having an issue after uploading back into canva and getting it to detach image?
Are you using a rectangle by chance? This process may not work if you're using shapes as opposed to elements. Like if you're creating a rectangle, for example, it won't convert to a frame.
Thank you, for the first time I have found a easy way to create seamless patterns.
I'm so pleased you found the video helpful, thank you!
Thank you SO much for putting this video together! I am very new to this program and am doing work for a client that I've not done previously. I followed your step-by-step instructions regarding the text fields/boxes and it was spot on. I also appreciate all of the advice, tips, and words of wisdom you shared. This program has its merits but like you said, there are some definite challenges at times, too. I was able to put together a workbook for my client and am happy with how it turned out. I will continue to watch your video to learn about adding checkboxes next as that will come in super handy for me for my own checklists that I just created for my business. A very happy new subscriber and I look forward to checking out more of your videos!
Aw Kristy, thank you so much for a lovely comment and for subscribing! You've made my day 😍
Hi Michelle, I have a quick question - are you able to have clients upload files to you on your payhip store? Thanks.
Hiya Angela! At this stage no I don't believe so. They would need to email you with the file/s. Or perhaps a link in your digital product to a form they can fill in and upload to.
Thanks so much for your reply. 😊@@michellemarks
