What to watch out for

Selling on Whop has many perks, but you should keep a few details in mind. First, you cannot withdraw money at any time if your balance is too low. You must meet the minimum balance rule first. Check Whop's help center for the current number.

Second, fee rates change depending on what you sell. Most digital goods cost a small fee plus payment processing, but apps and certain categories may cost more. Also, buyers normally need to join a community space to get their files, which can add extra steps.

Steps to start selling and our recommendation

To start selling, create your account and set up your community space. Next, pick what you want to sell, like an online course, a digital file, or community access. Connect your bank account so you can receive payouts when you hit the withdrawal balance.

If you sell simple files, you can make buying even easier. Install MKKT from the Whop App Store: upload your file, set a price or make it free, and share your store link so buyers can purchase without needing a Whop account.
