How does the Whop affiliate program work?

Updated

The short answer

A Whop affiliate promotes a creator's products in exchange for a cut of each sale. Creators choose the commission rate and give promoters unique referral links. When someone buys through that link, the affiliate earns money. Payouts go straight to the affiliate's bank account once their earnings reach the required minimum withdrawal balance.

How sellers set up affiliate links

Sellers on Whop can create affiliate links to encourage other people to market their products. You choose which products qualify, like paid communities, courses, or digital files. You also pick the reward percentage you want to share from every sale.

Whop tracks every buyer who clicks an affiliate link. When a customer pays using a card, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or crypto, the platform logs the sale. Whop then splits the money automatically based on the reward rate you set.

How promoters earn and share links

As a promoter, you get a unique tracking link from the creator. You can share this link on social media, in videos, or with your friends. You do not need to make your own product to earn money on Whop.

Every time someone clicks your link and buys, you get a cut of that purchase. If you also make video clips, creators can reward you through Whop Content Rewards, which pays clippers per thousand views for reposting videos.

Payouts and platform fees

Whop sends payouts directly to your bank account. You must hit a minimum balance before you can take your money out. For the exact payout rules and limits, check Whop's help center for the current number.

When sales happen, Whop takes a seller fee. This fee is payment processing fees for most products, though apps and some categories differ. Promoters keep their agreed share, while sellers receive the rest after fees.

Selling digital files directly

If you want to sell simple digital downloads alongside your main community, you can install MKKT from the Whop App Store. The app lets you upload a file, set a price or make it free, and get a direct store link that buyers can use without needing a Whop account.
