How do you create a promo code on Whop?

Updated

The short answer

To create a promo code on Whop, open your dashboard and go to Marketing. Click on Promo codes, then click Create. Choose how much money or what cut to take off the price. Set how long it lasts, choose who can use it, and pick an end date. Save it, and your code is ready.

Step by step to create your code

Log in to your Whop dashboard. Head over to the Marketing tab on the side menu. Click on Promo codes. At the top of the screen, click the Create button to open the setup form.

Type in the name of your code. This is the word your buyers will type at checkout. Pick whether the discount takes off a fixed amount or a percentage of the total.

Setting code rules and limits

Next, decide how long the discount lasts. You can set it for one-time use, keep it active forever, or have it run for a set number of months on recurring plans.

You can also choose who is allowed to use your code. Whop lets you offer it to everyone, limit it to new customers, or share it with past customers who left. Promo codes expire after one month by default, but you can change that date.

Sharing your discount with buyers

Once you save your code, give it to your audience in emails, social posts, or direct messages. Whop handles the discount during checkout so buyers see their new lower total right away.

If you sell standalone files and want buyers to grab them without creating a Whop account, you can use the MKKT app. You upload your file to Whop, set your price, and share a clean link that anyone can buy from directly.

Ways to use promo codes to sell more

Discounts work best when you have a clear goal. You can run a flash sale for a weekend to build excitement. You can also offer a special code to thank your early supporters or bring back customers who stopped their subscriptions.

Be careful not to keep discounts running all the time. If buyers always expect a sale, they will wait instead of buying today. Use codes for special moments, product launches, or seasonal holidays.
