Send payouts directly to your connected accounts from your platform balance. Connected accounts must complete identity verification and add a payout method before they can receive funds.
1

Complete KYC verification

Before a user can receive payouts, they must complete identity verification (KYC). Use the hosted account onboarding flow to guide users through this process:
import Whop from "@whop/sdk";

const client = new Whop({
  apiKey: "Company API Key",
});

const accountLink = await client.accountLinks.create({
  company_id: "biz_xxxxxxxxxxxxx",
  use_case: "account_onboarding",
  return_url: "https://yourapp.com/onboarding/complete",
  refresh_url: "https://yourapp.com/onboarding/refresh",
});

// Redirect the user to complete KYC
console.log(accountLink.url);
Redirect the user to the url returned in the response. After completing verification, they will be redirected back to your return_url.
2

Add a payout method

Before creating a payout, the account needs a payout method. Use the embedded component to let users add a payout method:
"use client";

import {
  Elements,
  PayoutsSession,
  PayoutMethodElement,
} from "@whop/embedded-components-react-js";
import { loadWhopElements } from "@whop/embedded-components-vanilla-js";

const elements = loadWhopElements();

export function AddPayoutMethod({ companyId }: { companyId: string }) {
  return (
    <Elements elements={elements}>
      <PayoutsSession
        token={() =>
          fetch(`/api/token?companyId=${companyId}`)
            .then((res) => res.json())
            .then((data) => data.token)
        }
        companyId={companyId}
        redirectUrl="https://yourapp.com/verification-complete"
      >
        <PayoutMethodElement fallback={<div>Loading...</div>} />
      </PayoutsSession>
    </Elements>
  );
}

Get the default payout method

List the connected account’s payout methods and find the one with is_default: true:
import Whop from "@whop/sdk";

const client = new Whop({
  apiKey: "Company API Key",
});

const payoutMethods = await client.payoutMethods.list({
  company_id: "biz_xxxxxxxxxxxxx",
});

const defaultMethod = payoutMethods.data.find((method) => method.is_default);
console.log(defaultMethod.id);
4

Create a payout

import Whop from "@whop/sdk";

const client = new Whop({
  apiKey: "Company API Key",
});

const withdrawal = await client.withdrawals.create({
  company_id: "biz_xxxxxxxxxxxxx",
  amount: 100.0,
  currency: "usd",
  payout_method_id: "pm_xxxxxxxxxxxxx",
});

console.log(withdrawal.id);
In this example:
  • company_id is the connected account to pay out
  • amount is the payout amount (100.00 USD) - fees will be deducted from this amount
  • currency is the ISO currency code
  • payout_method_id is the ID of the payout method to use (from step 3)
The request will return an error if the amount exceeds the available balance.
