Can I Use Whop With WooCommerce? Yes — Here Is Exactly How

Short answer: yes. Whop was built around its own hosted checkout, so for a long time selling through WooCommerce meant sending your customer to Whop to pay. That is no longer the only option. The card fields can render inside your own WooCommerce checkout, taken by your own Place Order button. Here are the questions people actually ask before committing.

Do I need anything on the Whop side?

An active Whop seller account, and two values from it: an API key and a Company ID. That is the whole Whop-side prerequisite. You do not need to build products, plans or pricing objects in Whop to mirror your WooCommerce catalogue.

Do I have to recreate my products in Whop?

No, and this is the question people most expect a yes to. Every checkout is built on the fly from your exact cart total, with quantities, coupons and shipping included. Nothing to copy from a dashboard, nothing to re-sync when you change a price. The reasoning is in why manual Whop plan IDs are obsolete.

Will my customers leave my site?

Not in the default mode. With Embed on Checkout the payment form renders inside your checkout page and your own Place Order button takes the payment. One button, no modal, no redirect. Two other modes exist if you need them: an on-page popup, and a direct redirect to Whop's hosted checkout as a compatibility fallback. See choosing between the three modes.

What can customers pay with?

Cards and crypto through the same gateway, plus the other methods Whop supports, across a broad set of countries. That is the main reason to use Whop rather than running a card processor and a separate crypto plugin side by side. See accepting crypto payments on WooCommerce.

I already sell on Whop. Can I run both?

Yes, and plenty of creators do. Your Whop storefront keeps working exactly as it does now. The WooCommerce gateway is an additional sales surface pointing at the same Whop account. Connecting WooCommerce changes nothing about your existing Whop checkout or products.

What are the technical requirements?

• WordPress 6.0 or newer
• PHP 7.4 or newer
• WooCommerce 7.0 or newer
• HTTPS for live payments
• Classic checkout or the WooCommerce Checkout Block, both supported, and HPOS too

How long does setup take?

Three steps, and the second one is the one people skip:

1. Paste the API key and Company ID into WooCommerce → Settings → Payments → Whop.
2. Add the plugin's webhook URL to your Whop dashboard and subscribe to payment.succeeded. This is how payment confirmation reaches WooCommerce. Without it, paid orders stay pending.
3. Choose your checkout mode and switch the gateway on.

Then run a sandbox order before going live. Full detail in the step-by-step integration guide.

Can I test it without real money?

Yes. Sandbox mode runs the complete flow against Whop's sandbox, with a real checkout, a real webhook and a real order, but no funds moving. It is the right way to find out whether the embedded form looks correct in your particular theme.

What happens if a payment succeeds but the order fails?

The order still gets created and held for your review, with the amount and payment reference attached. This matters more for digital products than physical ones, because your customer is sitting on the order-received page waiting. See the criteria that matter for digital products.

What does it cost?

Licences start at $5 a month for one site, with a $40 yearly option and a $70 one-time lifetime licence. Every plan is the whole plugin: all three checkout modes, 47 currencies, 28 languages, cards and crypto. No feature-gated tiers, no paid add-ons. Whop sets its own payment processing fees separately from all of this.

Anything it does not do?

Worth being straight about the limits. It is a payment gateway, so it handles checkout, currency, language, order sync and payment verification. It will not migrate an existing Whop catalogue into WooCommerce for you, and it does not decide whether Whop approves your business to process. That is Whop's call under Whop's policies.
