We're still working on making Whop a better place for brick-and-mortar businesses. In the meantime, many shops use Whop to accept in-person payments and add social features for their patrons.

## Run in-store sales on Whop in 4 simple steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a general product for your in-store purchase" titleSize="h3">

  <Step title="Take in-person payments with the Whop iOS app" titleSize="h3">
    Open the Whop iOS app, click the bottom right tab, and then create a
    checkout link when it's time for a customer to pay. After you create a
    checkout link from your phone, a QR code button will appear so customers can
    scan and pay. You can also save or print the QR for signage.
