How do I use Whop with YouTube to sell digital products?
Updated
The short answer
You can use Whop to sell digital products to your YouTube audience. You create a product on Whop, such as a file, course, or paid community. Next, you paste your product link into your YouTube video descriptions and channel profile. Viewers click the link, buy the item, and Whop pays the earnings into your bank account.
How to connect Whop to your YouTube channel
First, sign up for a seller account on Whop. Add your product, like a digital file, course, or access to your paid community. Set your price, or choose to make the item free. Whop gives you a link for your product or store.
Second, copy that link and take it to YouTube. Paste it in your video description, add it to your pinned comments, and put it on your channel banner. When viewers watch your videos, tell them about your product and direct them to the link.
How buyers pay and how payouts work
When a viewer clicks your link, they can pay in several ways. Whop accepts card payments, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and some crypto. This gives your viewers simple ways to buy on their phone or computer.
Whop sends your money directly to your bank account. There is a minimum balance you must reach before you can withdraw funds. If you want to know the exact payout balance rules, check Whop's help center for the current number.
What to watch out for
Keep selling fees in mind. Whop charges a small fee plus payment processing for most products, though some apps and categories differ. Check Whop's help center for the current number before you price your items.
Also, watch how much friction your buyers face. Some buyers do not want to create an account on a new platform just to download one simple guide or template. If buying is hard, many viewers will leave.
Our recommendation for YouTube creators
If you run a paid community or course, Whop works well on its own. YouTube drives the viewers, and Whop hosts your members. You can also use Whop Content Rewards to pay clippers per thousand views for reposting your videos and bringing more traffic.
If you only sell simple files, you may want fewer steps for your buyers. You can install MKKT from the Whop App Store. With this app, you upload a file, set a price or make it free, and get a store link buyers can use without a Whop account.
