Whop checkout comes as a hosted page, a checkout link or an embedded form. How each works, what it supports, and how to put it on a WooCommerce store.

Whop checkout is the payment step Whop runs for you, and it comes in three forms: a hosted page on whop.com, a checkout link you share, and an embedded form (the Checkout element) that sits on your own site. On a WooCommerce store, the embedded form is the one that keeps the customer on your checkout page; WhopForWoo puts it in the payment box, with the hosted page as a fallback.

The three forms of Whop checkout

Hosted page Checkout link Embedded (Whop Elements)
Where the customer pays whop.com whop.com Your page
Setup Whop store / product Dashboard → Checkout links Script + code, or a plugin
Your WooCommerce cart Not used Not used Yes, with WhopForWoo
Your order system Whop’s Whop’s WooCommerce, with WhopForWoo
Branding Colours, font, border Same, per link Theme, colours, radius, language
iDEAL shown Yes (store / product page only) No No

The trade-offs between a link and the embedded form are on Whop checkout link vs embedded.

What the Whop checkout page collects

Whop’s checkout gathers the buyer’s email, payment details and, depending on your settings, billing address. A returning Whop buyer can sign in to use saved payment methods. Card fields run in Whop’s PCI-isolated iframe. Depending on the buyer’s location and the price, Whop can display cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, ACH, PayPal, crypto or financing (Klarna and others).

When a payment needs an off-site step, such as 3D Secure in a banking app, the buyer comes back to a return URL with the payment ID and a status. Whop’s own guide is explicit that this return page is not proof of payment: fulfilment should come from the signed payment.succeeded webhook.

Whop checkout on WooCommerce

WhopForWoo uses the embedded form by default:

  1. The customer fills in the WooCommerce checkout as usual.
  2. The order is created (pending) before any payment.
  3. Whop’s checkout appears in the payment box, priced at the exact order total, with the customer’s email and billing address prefilled.
  4. Its pay button is the only button; WooCommerce’s “Place order” is hidden while Whop is selected and comes back if another method is chosen.
  5. The payment is read back from Whop’s API or arrives by signed webhook, and the order is marked paid only if amount and currency match.

The WooCommerce Checkout Block uses the hosted page: the customer is sent to Whop’s checkout and returns to your thank-you page. You can also pick the hosted redirect on the classic checkout if a theme or plugin conflicts with the embedded form.

Whop checkout page limits to know

  • $2,500 cap on checkout links for new accounts, liftable on application.
  • Local methods depend on the buyer, not on you: country (by IP), currency, price and one-time vs recurring all decide what appears.
  • Fees start at 2.7% + $0.30 per successful domestic card payment. See Whop fees.

Frequently asked questions

What is Whop checkout?

The payment page or form Whop uses to take a customer's payment. It exists as a hosted page on whop.com, as a shareable checkout link, and as the Checkout element you embed on your own site.

Can I put Whop checkout on my own website?

Yes. Whop's Checkout element (part of Whop Elements) drops the full checkout into your page. On WooCommerce, WhopForWoo mounts it inside the checkout's payment box.

Can I change the look of the Whop checkout page?

On Whop's hosted pages you can set background colour, button colour, font and border style. The embedded form in WhopForWoo adds light or dark theme, pay-button colour, background colour, corner radius and language.

Is there a price limit on Whop checkout?

Whop caps checkout links at $2,500 for new accounts. You can apply for higher limits; Whop says it reviews applications within 24 hours.
