How to Sell Access to Your Discord Community with Whop

Monetize your content or community in just a few clicks.🖱️

Step 1: Create a new Discord server ✨

Discord has become a popular way to organize communities — typically private — online. Creating a Discord server is quick and easy. If you already have a server that you want to use, skip to the second step.

To get started, click on the green “+ Add a Server” button in the menu bar (lower left-hand side of the Discord App). Next, select “Create My Own” and then “For a club or community.” Give your server a custom name and logo (see below).

Step 2: Register for Whop Business ✅

You’ll use Whop Business to manage your Discord community. To get started, sign up on the Whop Business website (it’s free!) and click “Start for Free.” Follow the prompts to connect your Discord account (see below). When you are done, don’t forget to return to Whop and click “Create company.”

Create your business account on Whop in 30 seconds or less (see below).

Step 3: Add the Whop Bot to your Discord server 🤖

Adding the Whop Bot will give you the ability to automatically add/remove users from your Discord server. After you “Create Company” on Whop, click the “Link Company Discord” button to open the Discord authorization window. Select your Discord server from the drop-down (see below).

Step 4: Update permissions for your Whop Bot 🔎

To enable your Whop Bot to add/remove members and assign roles, you’ll need to rank the bot as the highest role (simply drag it to the top of the list). You can do this in your server’s settings panel (see video below).

Final Step: Register for Stripe payments 💳

Whop uses Stripe to collect and process payments from your users. If you already have a Stripe account, enter your Stripe API keys and you’ll be good to go. If you’re new to Stripe, click “Setup Stripe Connect through Whop” and follow Stripe’s setup process — its super quick (see below).
