Give your customers the flexibility to split their purchases into monthly installments while you get paid upfront. After Whop approves your business, it automatically adds financing options to your checkout page.

​
Available financing options

Whop partners with five financing providers. Depending on your business, you may qualify for one or more of these options:
  • Splitit
  • Sezzle
  • Afterpay
  • Klarna
  • Zip Pay

​
How to apply for financing

Apply for financing via this financing application form. You can also apply for financing directly from the Checkout links page of your dashboard.
  1. Select + Create checkout link
  2. Select One-time as your pricing type
  3. Under Payment methods, select Apply for financing
  4. Complete the application form
Whop will email you if it can’t accept your application or needs more information. After acceptance, Whop will send a direct message confirming your financing access. Once accepted, all active financing options automatically appear at customer checkout. On the Checkout links page, you can choose the financing options for each link.

​
Eligibility requirements

To qualify for financing options, your business must meet these requirements:

​
1. Basic setup requirements

  • Your Whop Payments account must be fully set up and verified
    • Go to Balance in your dashboard to complete setup
  • Complete your store page
    • Whop needs to understand what you’re selling and how you fulfill orders

​
2. Business requirements

  • Eligible categories: Financing companies can’t support gambling, sports betting, trading signals (pure education may be acceptable), credit offers, or adult content
  • Low dispute rate: Keep your dispute rate below 2% over the last 90 days
    • New Whop businesses must submit 90 days of statements from their previous payment processor. Submit processing statements, not bank statements. They must show total transactions and disputes.
  • Processing volume: At least $30,000 processed from 10+ different customers in the last 90 days
You’ll receive a Whop DM after Whop approves your business and enables financing. If you haven’t heard back about your application, check your email for requests for additional documentation or application updates.

​
How it works for customers

When you enable financing:
  1. Financing options appear automatically on your checkout page
  2. Customers choose their preferred provider (e.g. Klarna, Afterpay)
  3. Whop sends customers to the financing provider for instant approval
  4. They complete their purchase through the financing platform
You can control which financing options appear on each of your checkout links through your pricing settings.
You still receive full payment upfront (minus standard fees)

​
Keep your financing access

Whop’s priority is to make sure you keep your financing access for the long term. Whop has the following features to help you keep your dispute rates low and keep financing active on your account: Dispute rate monitoring
  • View dispute rates for each financing partner on your Health report (in the Payouts section)
  • Alerts sent via email and Whop DM when dispute rates hit warning levels:
    • Klarna: warning at 0.5% dispute rate on Klarna transactions
    • All others: warning 1% dispute rate on any other BNPL option
When you receive an alert, take extra precautions to prevent further disputes. Set clear return policies, refund angry customers, and make sure your customers know where to go to resolve issues so they don’t dispute directly with the bank.
Splitit minimum balance (Splitit only)
  • Whop holds 15% of every Splitit transaction in your balance for 180 days
  • This shows Splitit that you can cover any potential disputes
  • Track your Splitit balance and release dates on your Balance page

​
Dispute rate limits

Stay under these thresholds to keep your financing access:
  • Klarna: Under 1% dispute rate
  • All other providers: Under 2% dispute rate
Whop automatically revokes financing access if your financed transactions hit these dispute rate thresholds. Whop will email you about the lost access.

​
