Set up your affiliate program to automatically pay commissions when someone refers a new paying member to your whop.

​
How the affiliate program works

When someone uses a referral link to join your whop and makes a purchase, the person who referred them earns a commission. Here’s how it works:
  • You turn on the affiliate program
  • Users get access to their unique affiliate link for your whop
  • They share their link anywhere they want
  • When someone joins through their link, Whop automatically tracks the referral and pays the commission
  • You can customize commission rates anytime to fit your business model

Set commission rates for your whop

  1. Click Set the affiliate commission for a specific whop
  2. You’ll see all your whops with two key settings:
    • Global affiliate rate: This is the commission rate offered to any user who refers others to your whop. The default is 30%, but you can adjust it to any percentage you prefer
    • Member affiliate rate: This is the commission rate specifically for your existing members who refer others. This allows you to reward your community differently than general affiliates (e.g. members get 50% commission while the global rate is 30%)
If you set the ‘Member affiliate rate’ to 0%, members will earn the global affiliate rate instead.

How to create custom rates for partnerships

For special partnerships or top performers, you can create custom commission structures:
  1. Click Set an affiliate commission for a specific user
  2. Enter the user’s Whop account email address
  3. Configure their reward:
    • Choose between Percent and Fixed amount
    • Select Recurring payments (ongoing commissions) or First payment (one-time commission)
    • Select which whops this rate applies to
  4. Click Invite to send them an invitation

Payment timing

Whop automatically handles all affiliate payments for you. There is a 30-day waiting period between when a referred customer makes their purchase and when the affiliate receives their commission.
