Social Proof App for Payhip
Make your Payhip store look as busy as it really is
The Payhip social proof app from WiserNotify shows real purchases and new memberships from your Payhip store as small, verified notifications. Someone deciding on your ebook, course or planner sees that other people bought it today.
Who it's for
Payhip social proof for independent creators and small shops
Ebook authors and self-publishers
You sell direct to keep more of each copy than the big marketplaces allow. Readers clicking through from Instagram or a newsletter need a reason to trust a shop they've never visited.
Teachers selling classroom resources
Lesson packs, revision guides and worksheets sell in bursts around exam season and the start of term. Teachers trust other teachers, so a colleague in Leeds buying the same pack carries weight.
Planner designers and membership owners
Digital planners and printables sell on impulse, while a monthly membership needs real trust. A recent purchase or a new member appearing at the right moment turns “maybe” into checkout.
Problems we solve
Your Payhip sales happen out of sight
The problem
Social media visitors arrive curious, then drift off
Someone taps your link in bio, scrolls the product page and closes the tab. With the Paid event connected, each Payhip sale pops up as it happens, so the next visitor sees a real person bought it minutes ago.
The problem
A monthly membership feels like a leap
A recurring charge from a shop you've just found is a harder yes than a one-off £5 download. The Subscription created event shows new members joining, so committing feels like following others, not going first.
The problem
A one-person shop can look like a side project
Payhip stores are clean and simple, which can make a busy shop look small. A sales counter adds up your downloads over the last 30 days and gives a solo creator the credibility of a bigger brand.
Payhip notifications
Payhip sales popups that show your store is busy
Recent purchases, new members, reader reviews and release-day crowds, running on every page of your Payhip shop.
Digital product sales
The buyer's first name, town and product. Earns its place beside the Buy Now button and on the store homepage.
New members
People starting your membership. Earns its place on the membership sales page and free-content pages.
Reader & teacher reviews
Show Google or Facebook reviews of your shop to readers arriving from Instagram or a newsletter.
“My Year 11s actually use these revision sheets without being told.”

Count people on a product page right after your newsletter, plus a store-wide countdown for your sale.

Setup
How to add social proof to Payhip in 4 steps
Before you start: Payhip's header code injection needs a custom domain connected to your store.
Copy your pixel code
Log in to WiserNotify, open the Install Pixel page and copy your pixel code.
Paste it into the store header
Open Payhip's store builder, click “Change store style” on the left, then the “Advanced” link. Paste the code into the “Header HTML/JS Code injection” field. It applies across all pages.
Create the Payhip connection
In WiserNotify, go to the Payhip integration and click Integrate inside the integration box. Enter a connection name, click Create and use the copy button to copy the webhook URL.
Add the webhook endpoint and test
In Payhip, go to Account → Settings and open the Developer tab. Paste the URL into Webhook Endpoint, choose Paid and Subscription created, and click Save settings. Make a test sale, check the Dashboard Data page, then pick Payhip as the notification's data source.

FAQ
Social proof app for Payhip FAQ
How do I add social proof to Payhip?
Paste the WiserNotify pixel into Payhip's “Header HTML/JS Code injection” field under Change store style → Advanced. Then add the WiserNotify webhook URL in Account → Settings → Developer so purchases come through.
Why does my Payhip store need a custom domain?
Payhip's header code injection, where the pixel goes, is available once a custom domain is connected to your store. After that, one paste covers every page.
Which Payhip events can I show?
Two webhook events: Paid, for product sales, and Subscription created, for new memberships. Pick one or both when you save the webhook.
Can I hide my customers' names?
Yes. Show a first name, “Sarah M.”, initials or simply “Someone”.
Will it slow down my Payhip store?
No. The pixel loads after the store page, so product images and the Buy Now button appear as usual.
Is there a free plan?
No. Each plan includes a 7-day free trial, and Basic, for up to 5,000 monthly visitors, is $59 a year.
