Whop pricing, fee by fee

Whop's pricing page lists the processing rate. The rest is spread across its fee docs — and one fee isn't published at all.

TL;DR

As of August 3, 2026: Whop has no monthly fee. Selling Discord access costs 2.7% + $0.30 in card processing plus a 3% platform fee on automation-gated sales — about 5.7% + $0.30 per domestic sale — and withdrawing your balance costs $2.50 to 5% more depending on method. Most Discord sellers land around 6–7% effective.

Withdrawing your Whop balance

Sales don’t land in your bank — they accrue to a Whop balance, and every route out has a price:

Payout methodFeeWhat it covers
ACH transfer (next-day)$2.50Standard withdrawal to a US bank
Instant transfer4% + $1Straight to your bank or debit card
Venmo / Cash App / crypto5% + $1P2P and crypto withdrawals
Wire$23Domestic or international wire

For contrast: on platforms built on your own Stripe account — flatpass included — there is no withdrawal step. Stripe settles to your bank on its regular schedule, free.

How much does Whop take at your volume?

All-in at a $35/month membership — the $0.30 fixed fee weighs heavier on smaller prices, and the same assumption is what turns your volume into the 57 paid members our tier is metered on. Payout fees not included.

$5,000/mo in sales$267$328$61/mo
$10,000/mo in sales$525$656$131/mo

All-in monthly cost at a $35/month membership — which also fixes the member count our tier is metered on, so the $1,000 row is the Starter tier and the $10,000 row is Scale. flatpass sellers pay Stripe’s standard 2.9% + $0.30 on their own account; Whop’s own processing is 2.7% + $0.30 plus its 3% platform fee on Discord-gated sales. At $1,000/month Whop is genuinely the cheaper bill — the flat tier starts winning from about $1,036 and never stops.

Does Whop still take 30%? Not since May 2025.

Until May 2025, sales through Whop’s Discover marketplace carried a 30% commission — and that’s still the number many fee guides quote. Whop removed it: marketplace sales now settle at the same rates as direct sales, everything in the table above. So if a page tells you Whop takes 30%, it’s out of date. What that change didn’t touch: the 3% platform fee on automation-gated sales and the payout pricing — the fees that were never in the headline to begin with.

Common questions

How much does Whop take from each sale?

For a typical Discord community, about 5.7% + $0.30 per domestic sale: 2.7% + $0.30 card processing plus the 3% platform fee on automation-gated sales. International cards add 1.5% and currency conversion 1%, and withdrawing your balance costs $2.50–5% depending on method — most sellers land around 6–7% effective. (As of August 3, 2026.)

Does Whop charge a monthly fee?

No. Whop is pay-as-you-go, with no subscription and no setup fee. The trade is that its percentages scale with your revenue forever: about $328/month in fees at $5,000/month in sales, about $656 at $10,000. Flat-fee platforms invert that trade — cheap at scale, and worth less below roughly $1,036/month, though flatpass is free until you have 15 paid members.

What is Whop's 3% platform fee?

Sales that run through a Whop automation — Discord, Telegram, or TradingView gating — carry a 3% platform fee on top of card processing. Gating access is the reason most communities use Whop, so in practice it applies to every sale. As of August 3, 2026 it isn't listed on Whop's public pricing pages; independent 2026 fee breakdowns (Ruzuku, Group.app, Dodo Payments, WhatPayment) all document it.

Does Whop still take a 30% commission?

No. The 30% commission applied to sales through Whop's Discover marketplace and was removed in May 2025 — marketplace sales now pay the same rates as direct sales. Fee guides still quoting 30% are out of date.

How much does it cost to withdraw money from Whop?

Sales accrue to a Whop balance, and moving it to your bank is priced by method: $2.50 for next-day ACH, 4% + $1 instant, 5% + $1 to Venmo, Cash App, or crypto, and about $23 by wire (docs.whop.com/fees, August 3, 2026). Recurring Trustpilot reviews also describe payout holds; on your own Stripe account there is no withdrawal step at all.

Is Whop cheaper than a flat fee like flatpass?

Between your sixteenth paid member and roughly $1,036 a month in sales, yes — percentages beat a flat fee when there’s little volume, and below that flatpass is free. Above it they don’t: at $5,000/month Whop’s stack runs about $328 all-in versus $267 on flatpass; at $10,000, $656 versus $525. The full head-to-head is on the flatpass vs Whop page.
