What does Whop charge to sell digital products?

Updated

The short answer

Whop charges sellers a fee when they make a sale. For most products, that fee is a small fee plus payment processing. Apps and some product categories differ. Whop takes this fee directly from your earnings on each sale. For exact processing fees, check Whop's help center for the current number.

How Whop charges work

When you sell digital files, courses, software, or access to a paid community, Whop collects a fee from the transaction. For most items, this fee is a small fee plus payment processing. You keep the rest of the sale price. Whop automatically deducts this charge before the money moves to your balance.

Fees can change depending on what you sell. Apps from the Whop App Store and certain product categories have different fee rates. Because payment processing fees depend on how buyers pay, check Whop's help center for the current number on exact processing costs.

Getting paid and buyer checkout

Buyers can pay with several popular options. Whop supports credit cards, debit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and some crypto. Giving customers multiple ways to pay makes it easier for them to finish their purchase.

Your earnings go into your Whop account balance. From there, payouts go straight to your bank account. Note that Whop requires a minimum balance before you can withdraw your funds. Check Whop's help center for the current number required to cash out.

What to watch out for

First, remember that payment processing is added to the basic a small percentage fee. The final fee on each sale will be slightly higher than a small percentage. Plan your product prices with both fees in mind so you protect your profit.

Second, you cannot withdraw money right away after a single small sale. Because there is a minimum balance rule for payouts, you must reach that threshold before sending money to your bank. Check Whop's help center for the current number.

Steps to sell digital products

To start, create your Whop account and set up your community space. Next, prepare your digital files or courses. If you sell standalone files, you can install MKKT from the Whop App Store. This app lets you upload a file, set a price or make it free, and get a store link buyers can use without a Whop account.

Our recommendation is to price your digital products high enough to cover payment processing comfortably. Whop only charges you when an item sells, so you face low risk when launching. Make checkout simple for your customers, connect your bank account, and start sharing your link.
