Collecting Payments

First, create the charge on the server using the Whop API. Then you can either:
  1. Open a modal in your app using the iframe SDK (recommended)
  2. Redirect the user to Whop’s checkout page

​
1. Create the charge on the server

This step will create a charge on the server and return the inAppPurchase object required for the next step.
On the server, use the chargeUser method to create a charge:
app/api/charge/route.ts
import { whopSdk } from "@/lib/whop-sdk";

export async function POST(request: Request) {
  try {
    const { userId, experienceId } = await request.json();

    const result = await whopSdk.payments.chargeUser({
      amount: 100,
      currency: "usd",
      userId: userId,
      // metadata is information that you'd like to receive later about the payment.
      metadata: {
        creditsToPurchase: 1,
        experienceId: experienceId,
      },
    });

    if (!result?.inAppPurchase) {
      throw new Error("Failed to create charge");
    }

    return Response.json(result.inAppPurchase);
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Error creating charge:", error);
    return Response.json({ error: "Failed to create charge" }, { status: 500 });
  }
}

​
2. Confirm the payment on the client

In this step the user will be prompted to confirm the previously created charge in a modal.
This function requires the iFrame SDK to be initialized. See iFrame Overview for more information.
Use the iframe SDK to open a payment modal: 
"use client";
import { useIframeSdk } from "@whop/react";

export default function PaymentButton({
  userId,
  experienceId,
}: {
  userId: string;
  experienceId: string;
}) {
  const iframeSdk = useIframeSdk();
  
  const [receiptId, setReceiptId] = useState<string>();
  const [error, setError] = useState<string>();
  
  async function handlePurchase() {
    try {
      // 1. Create charge on server
      const response = await fetch("/api/charge", {
        method: "POST",
        body: JSON.stringify({ userId, experienceId }),
      });
      
      if (response.ok) {
        const inAppPurchase = await response.json();
        // 2. Open payment modal
        const res = await iframeSdk.inAppPurchase(inAppPurchase);
        
        if (res.status === "ok") {
          setReceiptId(res.data.receipt_id);
          setError(undefined);
        } else {
          setReceiptId(undefined);
          setError(res.error);
        }
      } else {
        throw new Error("Failed to create charge");
      }
    } catch (error) {
      console.error("Purchase failed:", error);
      setError("Purchase failed");
    }
  }
  
  return <button onClick={handlePurchase}>Purchase Plan</button>;
}

​
3. Validate the payment

After a payment is processed, you should validate it on your server using webhooks to ensure the payment was successful and update your application accordingly.
Set up a webhook route to handle payment events:
app/api/webhook/route.ts
import { makeWebhookValidator, type PaymentWebhookData } from "@whop/api";
import { after } from "next/server";

const validateWebhook = makeWebhookValidator({
  webhookSecret: process.env.WHOP_WEBHOOK_SECRET,
});

export async function POST(request: Request) {
  // Validate the webhook to ensure it's from Whop
  const webhook = await validateWebhook(request);

  // Handle the webhook event
  if (webhook.action === "payment.succeeded") {
    after(handlePaymentSucceededWebhook(webhook.data));
  }

  // Make sure to return a 2xx status code quickly. Otherwise the webhook will be retried.
  return new Response("OK", { status: 200 });
}

async function handlePaymentSucceededWebhook(data: PaymentWebhookData) {
  const { id, user_id, subtotal, amount_after_fees, metadata, ... } = data;

  // ...
}
Make sure to create a webhook in your dashboard app settings and set your WHOP_WEBHOOK_SECRET environment variable.

Sending Payouts

You can send payouts to any user using their Whop username. The funds will be transferred from your company’s ledger account.

​
Transfer Funds

import { whopSdk } from "@/lib/whop-sdk";

async function sendPayout(
  companyId: string,
  recipientUsername: string,
  amount: number
) {
  // 1. Get your company's ledger account
  const experience = await whopSdk.experiences.getExperience({ experienceId });
  const companyId = experience.company.id;
  const ledgerAccount = await whopSdk.companies.getCompanyLedgerAccount({
    companyId,
  });

  // 2. Pay the recipient
  await whopSdk.payments.payUser({
    amount: amount,
    currency: "usd",
    // Username or ID or ledger account ID of the recipient user
    destinationId: recipientUsername,
    // Your company's ledger account ID that can be retrieve from whopSdk.companies.getCompanyLedgerAccount()
    ledgerAccountId: ledgerAccount.company?.ledgerAccount.id!,
    // Optional transfer fee in percentage
    transferFee: ledgerAccount.company?.ledgerAccount.transferFee,
  });
}
