Update Account Preferences
Updates the account’s preferences. Each top-level key present in the body is replaced as a whole; omitted keys are left untouched.
Required scopes depend on the preferences being updated:
| Preferences | Required scope |
|---|---|
ads_payment_methods, ads_reporting_currency, ads_scheduling_timezone, ads_triple_whale_integration, ads_certifications | ad_campaign:create |
cards_auto_top_up, cards_notifications | payout:account:update |
dispute_fighter_enabled | payment:dispute |
economic_intelligence_duration_key, economic_intelligence_auto_renew | company:update |
feedback_options | company:manage_checkout |
When updating preferences from multiple rows, all corresponding scopes are required for the account.

Path Parameters
Account ID, prefixed biz_.
Body
Opens an advertising certification application. Keyed by certification type (prescription_drug_ads); set the entry's status to pending_information to start, then answer the requested fields via PATCH /verifications/{id}. Only one application per type can be open at a time; every other status is set by Whop's review. Requires the ad_campaign:create scope on your API key.
How the account pays for Whop Ads spend. Requires primary; backup is optional and covers the charge when the primary fails. Requires the ad_campaign:create scope on your API key. Configuring a card requires a user token; account API keys can configure only platform_balance sources.
Lowercase ISO currency code, such as usd or eur, used to display ad spend and stats. Defaults to usd. Requires the ad_campaign:create scope on your API key.
"eur"
IANA timezone (e.g. America/New_York) used to interpret campaign start/end times and to bucket reports. Cannot be cleared once set — pass a new value to change it. Requires the ad_campaign:create scope on your API key.
"PST8PDT"
Connects or disconnects the Triple Whale integration, or changes the shop it reports to. Requires the ad_campaign:create scope on your API key. Connecting requires a shop_domain to report spend against.
Whether incoming funds are automatically moved to the account's cards balance. Requires a cards balance on the account and the payout:account:update scope on your API key.
true
Whether Whop Card notifications reach this account's team. Set it to false to stop every card email and push notification for the account — application status, verification and action-required alerts, card-ready alerts, declines, large charges, and cashback summaries. Cardholder onboarding invitations still send, because they carry the only link an invited cardholder can onboard with. Requesting a card is rejected while notifications are off, since the request reaches nobody. Cards on personal accounts are unaffected. Requires a cards balance on the account and the payout:account:update scope on your API key.
true
Whether Whop assembles and files the evidence response when this account's payments are disputed. Off by default; enabling it also opts the account into the success fee charged only on disputes it wins. Requires the payment:dispute scope on your API key.
true
false stops renewing: Economic Intelligence stays on until the end of the current week, and stopping before the first renewal charges the rest of that week at the 7_days offer's fee. true keeps it renewing again before then, or turns it on like the weekly offer. Can't be combined with economic_intelligence_duration_key. Requires the company:update scope on your API key.
false
Turns on Economic Intelligence with the offer that has this key in economic_intelligence_offers, at that offer's fee. A committed duration can't be changed or turned off until economic_intelligence_ends_at, except to upgrade to weekly, which switches to auto-renew right away. Requires the company:update scope on your API key.
weekly, 7_days, 1_day, 1_hour "weekly"
Replaces the account's own cancel reasons, shown to members in this order when they cancel. Pass an option's id to keep it, for example when renaming it; options without an id are added, and options left out are removed. Pass an empty array to go back to Whop's default reasons. Members who already picked an option keep the label they saw. Requires the company:manage_checkout scope on your API key.
10Settle every new sale into this currency, regardless of the plan's currency or what the buyer paid in; sales converted this way carry an additional 0.5% FX fee. Pass null to go back to settling each sale in its plan's currency. Changing it never converts money already in your balances, and it can change at most once every 7 days (see preferred_settlement_currency_changeable_at). Requires the payout:account:update scope on your API key.
usd, eur, gbp, cad, aud, null "eur"
What happens to a subscription once every retry of a renewal payment has failed. cancel (the default) cancels it. none leaves it past due and keeps billing it each period; access follows the account's past-due access setting. Requires company:manage_checkout permission.
cancel, none "none"
Response
preferences updated
The account's Whop Ads services and payment authorization agreement. While pending_signature, campaign launch is blocked; sign by answering requested_information via PATCH /verifications/{id}.
The account's advertising certifications, one entry per certification type Whop offers. Start an application by setting a type's status to pending_information via PATCH, then answer the fields it requests via GET/PATCH /verifications/{id}.

Lowercase ISO currency code, such as usd or eur, used to display ad spend and stats. Defaults to usd.
"usd"
IANA timezone (e.g. America/New_York) used to interpret campaign start/end times and to bucket reports. Defaults to America/New_York until explicitly overridden.
"America/New_York"
The account's Triple Whale integration, which pushes Whop ad spend to Triple Whale's Data-In API so it reports as a whop channel. Available to any Triple Whale customer — Shopify, WooCommerce, or a custom checkout — by setting shop_domain. Requires the ad_campaign:create scope. Once connected, ad click-through URLs Whop serves carry tw_source=whop and tw_adid=<ad id> query parameters so Triple Whale's pixel attributes conversions back to the originating ad — no destination URL changes are needed.
Whether incoming funds are automatically moved to the account's cards balance. false when the account has no cards balance.
false
Whether Whop Card notifications reach this account's team. true by default, including when the account has no cards balance. Set it to false to stop every card email and push notification for the account — application status, verification and action-required alerts, card-ready alerts, declines, large charges, and cashback summaries. Cardholder onboarding invitations still send, because they carry the only link an invited cardholder can onboard with. Requesting a card is rejected while notifications are off, since the request reaches nobody. Cards on personal accounts are unaffected.
true
Whether Whop assembles and files the evidence response when this account's payments are disputed. Off by default; enabling it also opts the account into the success fee charged only on disputes it wins.
false
Whether Economic Intelligence is on for the account. It turns off automatically at economic_intelligence_ends_at.
false
Whether Economic Intelligence renews itself every week, with no end date. Turn it on with the weekly offer. Set it to false to stop renewing, which keeps Economic Intelligence on until the end of the current week, shown in economic_intelligence_ends_at; stopping before the first renewal charges the rest of that week at the 7_days offer's fee. Set it back to true before then to keep renewing at the weekly fee.
false
When the account's committed Economic Intelligence period ends, as an ISO 8601 timestamp. Economic Intelligence can't be turned off before then. null when Economic Intelligence is off or renews automatically.

null
What the account can choose now to turn on Economic Intelligence, each with its fee. Every offer while Economic Intelligence is off; only the weekly auto-renew offer while a committed period is running, as an upgrade; empty while it renews automatically.
The account's last Economic Intelligence period, once it has ended. null while Economic Intelligence is on, or when it has never been on.
The account's own cancel reasons, in the order members see them when they cancel. Each is filed under a standard category, saved as the membership's cancel_option, so reports keep grouping cancellations. Empty when the account uses Whop's default reasons.
