Whop platform features

Access to the platforms API is currently invite only. Please contact sales@whop.com to see if your use case is eligible.
Whop for Platforms is a product similar to Stripe Connect that enables you to build marketplaces, platforms, and multi-tenant applications. With Whop for Platforms, you can onboard connected accounts and facilitate payments on their behalf.

​
About platform payments

Whop for Platforms lets you act as a platform operator. Other businesses or individuals, called connected accounts, can accept payments through your platform. This is ideal if you’re building:
  • Marketplaces: Where multiple sellers offer products or services. For example, a watch marketplace where you can buy luxury watches from different sellers.
  • Platforms: Where independent creators or businesses operate. For example, a content creation platform that pays content creators directly for sponsored content.
  • Multi-tenant applications: Where each entity needs to process its own payments
Whop for Platforms handles the complexity of payment processing, compliance, and payouts so you can focus on building your platform’s core features.

​
How it works

As a platform, you can:
  1. Onboard connected accounts: Invite businesses or individuals to join your platform
  2. Facilitate payments: Process payments on behalf of your connected accounts
  3. Manage payouts: Automatically route funds to your connected accounts
  4. Transfer funds: Move money between accounts on your platform instantly

​
Types of connected accounts

A connected account can be either:
  • A business: Companies, organizations, or registered entities that want to sell products or services through your platform
  • An individual: Sole proprietors, freelancers, creators, or individual sellers who want to monetize through your platform
Each connected account has their own account on your platform and can:
  • Accept payments from customers
  • Receive payouts to their bank account
  • Manage their own products and pricing
  • View their transaction history and analytics
