How do you use Whop with Discord?

Whop lets you sell access to a private Discord server. You connect your Discord account to Whop, pick your server, and choose which roles paying members get. When a customer buys access on Whop, the platform adds them to your server automatically. If they stop paying, Whop removes their role right away.

Start by setting up your product in your Whop dashboard. Go to your products and add Discord as an app. You will need to log into Discord and grant Whop permission to manage your server. Make sure the Whop bot has permission to manage roles.

Next, pick which Discord roles match your product. You can link one role or several roles to a single payment. Drag the Whop bot role above the member roles in your Discord server settings. If the bot is below a role, it cannot give that role to new buyers.

Whop charges sellers a small fee plus payment processing for most products. Some apps or special categories have different fees, so check Whop's help center for the current number. Buyers can pay using a credit card, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or some cryptocurrencies.

When you make sales, Whop sends payouts directly to your bank account. Keep in mind that Whop requires a minimum balance before you can withdraw your funds. You can track your balance and pending payouts right from your seller dashboard.

The most common issue is Discord role order. Discord does not let a bot give out a role that sits higher than the bot's own role. Always move the Whop bot to the top of your role list in Discord.

Another thing to watch is buyer accounts. Buyers must link their own Discord account when they check out on Whop. If a buyer uses the wrong Discord account during purchase, Whop will grant the role to that wrong account.

Many creators start with a Discord server but also want to sell simple digital downloads like guides, spreadsheets, or presets. You can sell files directly through Whop, but some buyers do not want to join a community or create an account just to download a file.

To solve this, you can install MKKT from the Whop App Store. It lets you upload a file, set a price or make it free, and gives you a direct store link where customers can buy without creating a Whop account.

If your business centers on community, chatting, and live events, connecting Whop to Discord is a solid choice. The automated role setup saves time and stops freeloaders from staying in private channels after their subscription ends.

Start small with one simple tier. Test the checkout process yourself with a free test code before sending your audience to the link. Once you confirm the bot assigns roles properly, share your store link with your community.
