How to use the Courses app on Whop

You can add the Courses app to your whop by going to the Whop App Store, finding the Courses app, and clicking on its Add button. Then, you're ready to create your first module and upload your course content.

You can start using the Courses app on your whop by going to the Whop App Store (via the App Store button in your whop), finding the Courses app, and adding it to your whop. After adding the app to your whop, you can start creating modules and uploading your content.

These days, more and more organizations are focusing on remote work and studies. As a result, online courses have become one of the most in-demand education types.

Have you ever wanted to create a course about a topic you’re good at and have dreamed of earning money from? It's time to make it a reality – and you won’t believe how easy it is to do.

In this guide, we’re going to take a look at how you can add the Courses app to your whop and every single thing you can do with it once you're in.

How to add the Courses app to your whop

Adding the Courses app to your whop is as easy as adding any other app. It takes just a few clicks - but before we do that, let's make sure you have a whop to begin with. If you don't already have a whop, check out our guide on creating a whop in under 5 minutes.

If you got your whop ready to go, let's see how you can add the Courses app to it:

1. Click the App store button under the admin area of your whop to go to the Whop App Store
2. In the App Store, find the Courses app and click on its Add button
3. Select which products will be able to access the app and click Done

That's it - you just added the Courses app to your whop. Now, it's time to upload content to it.

Creating the course

After adding the app to your whop, the only thing you're going to see is the Add course button.

Clicking on it will display the Create course module popup where you're prompted to give the course a name, a description (optional), and upload a cover for it (optional).

Once you're done with all the options, click Create. Once the course is created, you'll be taken to its contents where you're able to add new lessons, chapters, and edit them.

Creating lessons and chapters in the Courses app

Now that you’ve created your course, let’s add some lessons and chapters to it. You can:

• Add new chapters by clicking the Add new chapter button
• Edit chapter names by clicking on them
• Add new lessons to chapters by clicking on the plus icon next to their name
• Delete chapters by clicking on the trash bin icons
• Delete lessons by using their context menu
• Reorder lessons by dragging them
• Save your changes with the Save changes button at the top right

The first three lessons that your Courses app automatically creates are empty multimedia lessons. Speaking of which, let’s remember the three types of lessons you can add to your course:

• Multimedia: Upload rich text, video, and files.
• PDF: Upload PDF files.
• Quiz: Add a quiz for your members with a grade and a completion requirement.

Now that you know the types of lessons, let’s examine what we see on the screen. On the left-hand side, we can see all the chapters and the lessons of the course. Clicking on the name of a chapter will allow you to change the name of it.

Clicking on a lesson will open its contents, which are the things you see on the right-hand side.

Multimedia lessons

The three default lessons the Courses app comes with are multimedia lessons. As their name suggests, multimedia lessons support videos, file attachments, and formatted text.

You can upload a video by clicking on the Upload file button in the video section of the app, upload attachments using the Upload attachment button below it, adjust its drip feeding setting, which is 'Unlocks immediately' by default, and add text to the lesson using the text input field at the bottom of the app.

After you make changes to a lesson, make sure to save those changes by clicking the Save changes button at the top left.

PDF lessons

Most online and in-real-life courses assign reading material to their students in document, book, or paper form. You can do the same in your whop course by creating PDF lessons and uploading PDF files.

Just like adding a video file on the Video lessons, you can add a PDF file by clicking on the Upload file button.

Quizzes

Of course, a course isn’t a course without some kind of test. Luckily, there are two types of tests you can add to your whop course.

Using the Knowledge Check lesson, you can put your students to the test. The difference between the Knowledge Check and Quiz lesson is that the former won’t return a grade, and users can pass the test no matter how they perform.

There are four types of questions you can add to both lesson types:

• Multiple Choice: When you first create the quiz, there will be a single default, multiple-choice question. You can add the question by typing in the 'Question text'  input box, and adding options under the 'Options' section. After adding all the options, click on the checkmark button next to the correct option.
• Select Multiple: This question type will essentially create a checkbox list, and you can select which options are correct and which ones are not.
• True False: As its name suggests, this question type requires you to write down a True or False question and add two default answers that cannot be changed: True and False.
• Short Answer: This question type will require you to write down the question and its answer. Since it’s a text answer, it will require users to write down the exact same text. For example, if the answer you write down is “By selecting the Lasso Tool,” the user will have to input exactly the right answer.

Viewing your course's analytics

Clicking on the View analytics button in the context menu of any course you create will take you to its analytics page where you can see individual analytics for students and lessons of your course.

What are Whop apps?

Apps can be added to your whop to help build your business. There are more than 20 apps that whop owners can utilize, and each has unique features.

You can think of apps as modules on your whop that you can add, swap, and remove at will. While some apps make way for communication between members, others allow you to connect external platforms like websites or Telegram to your whop.

Adding an app to your whop is free, and you can add or remove it at any time. As of October 2025, the top 5 most popular apps on Whop are:

1. Chat - Chat rooms for your Whop members to talk to each other.
2. Courses - Create courses for your members.
3. Livestreaming - Start a stream, invite others to speak, and engage with your members.
4. Forums - Create forums where you control who can create posts and interact with posts via comments.
5. Files - Share images, documents, apps, and all kinds of files.

Now, let’s take a look at one of the most popular apps, Course.

What is the Courses app?

For a very long time, many people have been learning new skills and educating themselves on topics using online courses.

However, when it comes to creating courses, it’s not as simple as creating a website, uploading the videos, and starting to earn money. Most online course platforms require sellers to go through a long process when creating the course.

Luckily for you, this isn’t the case for Whop.
