Whop for Platforms is a product similar to Stripe Connect that enables you to build marketplaces, platforms, and multi-tenant applications. With Whop for Platforms, you can onboard connected accounts and facilitate payments on their behalf.

What is Whop for Platforms?

Whop for Platforms allows you to act as a platform operator, enabling other businesses or individuals (called connected accounts) to accept payments through your platform. This is ideal if you’re building:
  • Marketplaces: Where multiple sellers offer products or services. For example, a watch marketplace where you can buy Rolexes from different sellers.
  • Platforms: Where independent creators or businesses operate. For example, a content creation platform where influencers are paid directly for making sponsored content.
  • Multi-tenant applications: Where different entities need to process payments separately
Whop for Platforms handles the complexity of payment processing, compliance, and payouts so you can focus on building your platform’s core features.

How it works

As a platform, you can:
  1. Onboard connected accounts: Invite businesses or individuals to join your platform
  2. Facilitate payments: Process payments on behalf of your connected accounts
  3. Manage payouts: Automatically route funds to your connected accounts
  4. Transfer funds: Move money between accounts on your platform instantly

Connected accounts

A connected account can be either:
  • A business: Companies, organizations, or registered entities that want to sell products or services through your platform
  • An individual: Sole proprietors, freelancers, creators, or individual sellers who want to monetize through your platform
Each connected account has their own account on your platform and can:
  • Accept payments from customers
  • Receive payouts to their bank account
  • Manage their own products and pricing
  • View their transaction history and analytics

Benefits

  • Simplified onboarding: Easy connected account enrollment process
  • Automatic payouts: Funds are automatically routed to connected accounts
  • Compliance handled: Whop manages regulatory requirements
  • Flexible transfers: Move money between accounts instantly via API
  • Unified dashboard: Manage all connected accounts from one place
