How does Whop payment processing work?
Updated
The short answer
Whop payment processing lets creators take payments from buyers around the world. When you sell a digital product, buyers can pay with credit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or crypto. Whop takes a small fee plus payment processing on most sales. Your earnings then go directly to your linked bank account.
Payment methods buyers can use
When you sell digital files, software, or courses on Whop, you want checkout to be simple. Buyers can pay using regular debit or credit cards. They can also use Apple Pay, Google Pay, or PayPal. If buyers prefer digital currency, Whop also accepts some crypto.
Having these choices helps you make more sales. Customers can pick the payment method they trust most and finish buying in seconds.
Fees and payout rules to watch out for
Whop charges sellers a fee on sales. For most products, this fee is a small fee plus payment processing. Apps and some product categories have different fee rates. Check Whop's help center for the current number for your specific category.

Steps to set up your payments
First, open your seller account on Whop. Go to your settings and link your bank account. This ensures you can receive payouts when buyers purchase your items.
Next, add your product details. You can sell digital files, courses, software, or access to a paid community. Set your price, turn on your payment options, and share your checkout link with your audience.
A plain recommendation for selling digital files
If you only want to sell a simple file, setting up an entire community can feel like too much work. You can install MKKT from the Whop App Store inside your whop. The app lets you upload your file, set a price or offer it for free, and create a store link.
Your customers can use that link to buy and download your file right away without needing a Whop account. This keeps the checkout simple for them and sends your earnings through your normal Whop setup.
