What it is
Whop is a marketplace and set of commerce tools for buying and selling products and services.

Its payments offering supports 100+ payment methods and includes accelerated checkout and prebuilt user interfaces. Payout methods include next-day ACH, instant bank deposit, crypto, Venmo, bank wire and international local bank transfers. Whop’s App Store includes built-in apps, and developers can create custom apps with Next.js and the Whop SDK. Its Discord app can connect a server, sell membership access, assign roles and manage users according to subscription status. The service is available on web, Android and iOS, and also includes APIs and embeds. Whop says use is free, although certain transactions and services may incur charges: the pricing page lists a $0.03 3DS fee and $0.07 Radar fraud detection fee per transaction, plus a $15 dispute fee.
