Can you accept crypto on Whop?
Updated
The short answer
Yes, buyers can pay with some crypto on Whop. Whop also takes cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. But as a seller, your payouts do not arrive in crypto. Whop sends your money directly to your bank account once you reach the minimum balance needed to withdraw.
How crypto payments and payouts work
Whop lets your customers pick how they want to pay. At checkout, they can choose card, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or some crypto options. This makes it easy for people who prefer digital coins to buy your courses, software, or digital files.
Even if a buyer pays in crypto, you do not keep crypto in a wallet. Whop processes the sale and puts the cash into your seller balance. When you want your money, Whop sends a payout to your bank account. There is a minimum balance before you can cash out.
What to watch out for
First, remember that Whop takes a fee on your sales. For most products, this fee is a small fee plus payment processing. Some apps and categories have different rates, so check Whop's help center for the current number.
Second, you cannot withdraw crypto to a personal crypto wallet. Payouts only go to a bank account. Make sure you have a valid bank account connected before you sell. Also remember that you must reach Whop's minimum balance before you can pull your funds out.
Steps to accept crypto on Whop
To start, set up your seller account on Whop. Add your product details, such as a course, software access, or a digital file. Next, link your bank account in your settings so Whop knows where to send your payouts.
Once your checkout is live, buyers can select crypto at checkout alongside cards or PayPal. You do not need your own crypto payment gateway. Whop handles the checkout screen and converts the sale to your seller balance automatically.
A simpler way to sell digital files
If you only want to sell simple digital files, you might not want buyers to sign up for a 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 gives you a store link buyers can use without a Whop account.
If you run a full community or course, use Whop's main checkout so buyers can use card, PayPal, or crypto. But if you just have one file to share, a clean link makes checkout faster for everyone.
