What your agent runs for you

  • Sales
    60 min / week

  • Marketing
    30 min / week

    Marketing Agent
    0 min
    Agent creates and audits campaign coupons programmatically

    The agent creates the campaign coupon with the correct discount, expiry, and product scope, then audits usage counts weekly — all without opening the Payhip dashboard.

  • Customer Support
    45 min / week
    Manual license key lookups for each support ticket

    Support agents log into Payhip to search for the customer's license key, check its status, and manually enable or disable it — adding 5–10 minutes to every software access dispute.

    Customer Support Agent
    0 min
    Agent verifies and manages license keys on every support request

    When a customer reports an access issue, the agent verifies the license key status in seconds and either confirms it is valid or disables/enables it based on the resolution — no dashboard access required.

  • Human Resources
    25 min / week
    Manual collection of learning purchase receipts

    HR coordinators manually collect Payhip receipts from team members, enter purchase amounts into the budget tracker, and reconcile learning spend at the end of each month.

    Human Resources Agent
    0 min
    Agent tracks team learning purchases and spend automatically

  • Finance
    45 min / week
    Manual weekly revenue reconciliation

    A finance team member exports Payhip transaction data, opens Google Sheets, pastes the rows, calculates net revenue by product category, and updates the dashboard — typically a 45-minute task every Friday.

    Finance Agent
    0 min
    Agent reconciles sales and refunds to the finance tracker weekly

    Every Friday the agent reads all sale and refund events for the week, calculates net revenue by product, and updates the finance dashboard — the weekly close requires no manual data entry.

  • Operations
    45 min / week
    Manual weekly store health checks

    An operations team member logs into Payhip weekly to check which license keys are active, which coupons are still live, and whether any products are missing — a 30–60 minute audit with no automated record.

    Operations Agent
    0 min
    Agent maintains licence and coupon health with zero manual monitoring

    The operations agent audits license key states and coupon inventory weekly, flags discrepancies, and posts the results to #ops — the team sees the state of the store without opening Payhip.

  • Legal

    Manual compliance documentation after each action

    Legal or ops staff manually record each refund, license revocation, and cancellation event in the compliance log — often done retrospectively at month-end when details are harder to retrieve.

    0 min
    Agent logs refund and licence actions to a timestamped compliance trail

    Every refund, license disable, and cancellation is logged automatically to the legal compliance tracker with buyer details, product name, amount, and timestamp — the audit trail builds itself.

FAQs

Questions about Payhip + Actionist

How does Actionist connect to Payhip?
Go to the Apps tab in Actionist, find Payhip, and click Connect. The recommended path is API key — log in to your Payhip account, go to Settings → Developer, copy your API key, and paste it into Actionist. The agent runs a read-only test call to confirm the handshake before any actions run.
What permissions or setup does the agent need on my Payhip account?
Actionist uses your Payhip API key to read and manage coupons and license keys. For webhook-based triggers — New Sale, Refund, New Membership Subscription, Cancel Membership Subscription — you configure a webhook endpoint in Payhip Settings → Developer and point it at Actionist. The agent then receives these events within about a minute of the underlying action occurring in Payhip.
Can I connect Payhip to other apps in the same agent task?
Yes. Payhip works best when paired with apps where your customer data and communications live. Common combinations: log new sales to Google Sheets or Notion; send a personalised welcome message via Slack or Telegram when a subscription starts; create a HubSpot or Airtable contact record on every purchase; issue a unique license key and email it via Gmail on each order. Any of Actionist's connected apps can send or receive data alongside Payhip in the same agent task.
What are the most common things agents do with Payhip?
The patterns that come up most often: (1) post-purchase fulfilment — sending a welcome sequence, logging the buyer to a CRM, and issuing a coupon for a second product automatically; (2) subscription lifecycle — welcoming new members with a resource pack and flagging cancellations for a win-back outreach; (3) license key management — verifying, enabling, and disabling keys as part of a software delivery or support workflow; (4) discount code operations — creating campaign coupons programmatically and listing them for an audit.
What coupon options does the Payhip API support?
Payhip's coupon API supports percentage-based and fixed-amount discounts. You can set an expiration date, a minimum purchase amount, a usage limit, and whether the code applies to a single product, a set of products, or an entire collection. When the agent creates a coupon via Actionist, those fields are all configurable as parameters — so a campaign launch can mint a time-limited discount code automatically without anyone logging into the Payhip dashboard.
How does the agent manage software license keys through Payhip?
Payhip's license key API lets the agent verify a key (confirm it is valid and belongs to the requesting customer), enable or disable a key, and increment or decrement its usage counter. This is especially useful for software products: the agent can automate the delivery pipeline — verifying a key on support requests, disabling it on refund, and re-enabling it after a dispute is resolved — without anyone touching the Payhip dashboard.
Can the agent automatically handle refunds in Payhip?
Payhip fires a 'refunded' webhook event when a payment is refunded, which includes the original transaction details plus the refund amount and date. Actionist listens for this event and can automatically disable the buyer's license key, revoke access in your delivery system, log the refund to a finance tracker, and notify the support team — all within about a minute of the refund being processed in Payhip.
Can I send Payhip webhooks to multiple endpoints at once?
Yes. Payhip supports configuring multiple webhook endpoints by entering comma-separated URLs in Settings → Developer. Each endpoint receives the same events. This means Actionist can receive Payhip events alongside any other system you are using — the webhooks are not exclusive. Each event payload is signed with an HMAC-SHA256 hash of your API key so Actionist can verify the request is genuinely from Payhip before processing it.
