David,

At the bottom of the page at https://payhip.com/features/sell-digital-downloads
Payhip writes "We can handle the generation, storage and issuing of keys to protect your software."

So it seems there are 2 ways to do this with Payhip.

1. sell a license and the customer gets a download link to download the software 
or
2. sell a license and the customer gets the license (key) from Payhip, either from a list you've submitted to them or generated by Payhip


If you do not need to rely on Payhip you could also use Fastspring for selling your software.

I am doing so for years now. 
I am using Jacque's tool Zygodact to add a "registration serial key system" to my program.
When a customer purchases a license from Fastspring, Fastspring posts the order details after payment to a Livecode Server script on my webserver.
The Livecode Server scripts calls the Zygodact key generator stack using the submitted data from Fastspring and returns the registration details back to Fastspring.
Fastspring then submits the registration details to the customer. As Fastspring is also doing the VAT handling, there is nothing i have to do, except maintaining my program and accepting the monthly payout. ;) 

Regards,
Matthias
