# Whop WooCommerce plugin: Whop checkout inside your store

> Connect Whop to WooCommerce. Whop's payment form sits inside your checkout, every payment is verified server-side, and orders exist before anyone pays.

Updated: 2026-11-11 · Canonical: https://whopforwoo.com/

**Whop and WooCommerce don't connect natively: Whop has no official WooCommerce payment plugin, and its WooCommerce docs only cover the ad pixel.** WhopForWoo is the plugin that fills the gap. It adds Whop as a WooCommerce payment method, shows Whop's payment form inside your own checkout page, and only marks an order paid after it has checked the payment with Whop's API.

You keep your cart, shipping rules, taxes, coupons and order emails. Whop handles the card, the wallet and the payout.

## What the Whop WooCommerce plugin does

| | WhopForWoo |
|---|---|
| Where the customer pays | On your checkout page (Whop Elements), no redirect on the classic checkout |
| Checkout Block | Supported through Whop's hosted checkout (redirect mode) |
| Order created | Before the payment, so nothing is charged without an order |
| Payment confirmation | Read back from Whop's API or from an HMAC-signed webhook, with order, amount and currency checked |
| Plans in Whop | None to create: one checkout configuration per order, from the exact cart total |
| Currencies | 47 charged natively, others converted to USD at a live rate |
| Wallets | Apple Pay and Google Pay enabled on the form |
| Form languages | 12, or follow the site language |
| WooCommerce storage | HPOS compatible |
| Testing | Sandbox mode |
| Troubleshooting | Status & Tools screen: system report, webhook history, checkout cache test, logs |
| AI assistant | Built-in read-only MCP server: ask Claude or Cursor how much you sold through Whop this week ([MCP docs](https://whopforwoo.com/docs/whopforwoo-mcp)) |

## How a payment flows

1. The customer fills in your normal WooCommerce checkout.
2. WooCommerce validates the fields and creates a pending order in the background. The order exists before any charge.
3. The plugin creates a Whop checkout configuration for that order, at the exact total, and mounts Whop's payment form in the payment box. The billing email and address already typed are passed to Whop, so the customer doesn't type them twice.
4. The customer pays with card, Apple Pay or Google Pay. Card numbers stay inside Whop's iframe on Whop's domain; they never touch your server.
5. Your server reads the payment back from Whop (`GET /payments/{id}`) or receives the signed `payment.succeeded` webhook. The order is marked paid only if its order, site, configuration, amount and currency all match.

If a card is charged but the browser closes before the checkout finishes, the payment is recorded and listed in **Status & Tools** instead of disappearing.

## Whop plugin setup in five steps

1. Install and activate WhopForWoo, then enter your licence key.
2. Open **WooCommerce → Settings → Payments → Whop**.
3. Paste your Whop **API key** and **Account ID** (Whop dashboard, developer settings).
4. Copy the webhook URL shown on the settings page into Whop, subscribe to `payment.succeeded`, and paste the webhook secret back.
5. Turn on Sandbox mode, place a test order, then switch to live.

Exclude the checkout page from page caching. A cached checkout serves a stale security token and the payment form won't load; the built-in cache test tells you if that's happening.

## Why merchants add Whop to WooCommerce

- **A second processor.** WooCommerce can run several gateways side by side. Whop can sit next to Stripe or PayPal so a single account review doesn't stop your sales.
- **Lower card rate than Stripe's standard US price.** Whop charges 2.7% + $0.30 on a domestic card, against Stripe's 2.9% + $0.30. See [Whop fees](https://whopforwoo.com/whop-fees) for the full grid and [Whop vs Stripe](https://whopforwoo.com/whop-vs-stripe) for a side-by-side.
- **Whop is the merchant of record.** On Whop Payments, Whop is the seller of record and can calculate, collect and (in the US, EU and UK) remit sales tax for a 2% fee.
- **Payouts in 200+ countries,** to a bank account, PayPal or a Coinbase wallet depending on the method used at checkout.

Whop decides who can sell. Some categories are prohibited (adult content, vapes, CBD, unlicensed streaming, among others). Check Whop's prohibited list before you apply; no plugin changes that.

## FAQ

### Will Whop accept my store?

Whop approves sellers, not us. Check Whop's prohibited list first (vapes, CBD, replicas and a few others). If Whop turns you down within 14 days of buying, ask for a refund.

### Can I keep Stripe or PayPal?

Yes. Whop appears as one more payment method at checkout and your customers choose.

### Will it work with my theme?

The Whop form sits inside WooCommerce's own payment box, so any theme that shows the standard checkout works. Run a test order in sandbox mode before going live.

### Can I try it before paying?

Install it, run test orders in sandbox mode, then go live. Not convinced within 14 days? Full refund, no questions.

### Does Whop work with WooCommerce?

Not out of the box. Whop's own WooCommerce documentation only covers installing the Whop ad pixel. To take Whop payments at a WooCommerce checkout you need a payment gateway plugin such as WhopForWoo.

### Is there an official Whop WooCommerce plugin?

No. Whop officially connects Shopify for physical products, not WooCommerce. WhopForWoo is an independent plugin that uses Whop's public API and Whop Elements.

### Do I need to create a plan in Whop for every product?

No. The plugin creates a checkout configuration per order from the exact cart total, so coupons, variations and shipping are all included without mapping products.

### What happens if my licence expires?

It doesn't. You pay once, the licence never expires and updates are included.

### Does the Whop WooCommerce plugin work with the Checkout Block?

Yes, through Whop's hosted checkout page (redirect mode). The classic checkout and the order-pay page get the embedded Whop Elements form.
