What is the Whop website and how do you sell on it?

Updated

The short answer

The Whop website is an online platform where creators sell digital products, paid communities, software, and courses. You create an account, set up your space, and list what you want to sell. Buyers can pay with credit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, or crypto. Whop sends your sales earnings directly to your bank account.

How to set up and sell on Whop

Getting started takes only a few minutes. First, visit the Whop website and create a seller account. Next, build your own community hub, which Whop calls a whop. You can add courses, chat rooms, or digital files to this hub. Give your product a clear title and describe what the buyer will receive.

After adding your content, set your price. You can charge a one-time fee or set up a recurring payment. Connect your payout details so Whop can transfer your money. Once your product is live, share your link with your audience on social media or email.

Fees and payout rules to know

Whop takes a cut from each sale. For most products, Whop charges sellers a small fee plus payment processing. Some special categories or apps have different rates. If you are not sure about a specific rate, check Whop's help center for the current number.

Buyers can check out using credit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and some crypto. Your earnings go straight to your bank account. Note that Whop requires a minimum balance before you can pull your money out. Check Whop's help center for the current number on minimum withdrawals.

Selling files without forcing account signups

Normally, joining a whop asks buyers to create an account or sign in. If you only want to sell a simple digital download or a PDF, extra sign-up steps can cause buyers to leave before paying.

You can solve this with the Whop App Store. For example, you can install MKKT inside your whop. You upload your file, set a price or make it free, and get a direct store link. Buyers can then purchase your file right away without needing a Whop account.

Our plain recommendation for sellers

If you run a paid group, teach a course, or have video clippers, the Whop website gives you great tools in one spot. You can even use Whop Content Rewards to pay clippers per thousand views to repost your videos and drive new traffic.

Keep things simple when starting out. Price your product fairly, test the checkout flow yourself, and check your payout settings early. If you want easy sales for standalone files, use a direct checkout link so your customers have the smoothest path to buy.
