Whop

Whop is a platform that lets you build and run an online business — whether that's an agency, a game, a service business, a social network, a shopping platform, a marketplace, an events company, or even a newspaper. It provides the core infrastructure you'd otherwise have to build yourself: checkout, wallet, and chat. The idea is that you can focus on your product and customers instead of reinventing payment flows and user accounts.

The standout feature is the embeddable checkout component. You install it via npm, drop a React component into your site, and instantly get a payment flow that handles plans, receipts, and redirects. Whop also offers a wallet system for managing balances and payouts, plus built-in chat so you can talk to your customers without a separate tool. Everything is powered by APIs, so you can customize and extend as needed.

Whop is best suited for entrepreneurs and developers who want to launch a digital business quickly without building payment and communication systems from scratch. It's also useful for creators who want to sell memberships or digital goods, and for anyone experimenting with new business models like marketplaces or social networks. If you need a ready-made backend for selling online, Whop gives you the pieces to assemble your own storefront.
