When we say “promo codes,” the first thing that comes to mind is the little input boxes in checkout screens that add discounts once you fill in the correct code. Well, Whop promo codes are exactly that - and they’re super easy to use.

Promo codes that you create for your whop allow you to add discounts based on fixed amounts and percentages of the checkout price. This is a great way to bump up the sales of your whop and create hype for your products.

Let’s take a look at how you can create promo codes for your whop as a creator.

How to create promo codes for your whop

Creating promo codes for your whop is super easy - so easy, in fact, that it takes less than 20 clicks to create one. But before we walk you through creating a promo code, let’s first make sure that you have a whop to create promo codes for. If you don’t already have a whop of your own, you can follow our guide on creating a whop in under 5 minutes.

If you have your whop ready to go, let’s see how to create promo codes. First, let’s click on the Dashboard on the left side of your screen. This is going to take you to your dashboard. One thing you should pay attention to is the name of the whop you're viewing the dashboard of, which is "My new organization" in the image below.

You can switch between whops by clicking on the whop name. Once you're viewing the whop you want to add promo codes to, click the Promo codes button at the top navigation bar. This is going to take you to the promo codes section of your dashboard.

Steps of navigating into the Promo codes section of a whop's dashboard

Once you click the Promo codes button, you’re going to be directed to a list of all the current promo codes you have. If this is your first time creating a promo code, you’re going to see the “No promo codes yet” message.

Let's click the Create promo code button at the top right to create one.

Clicking the Create promo code button will display a small window on the right side of your screen, with all the settings you need to create the code. Let’s start with the first, main settings.

In the first three fields of the Create promo code window, you’re going to determine the code itself, its amount, and its duration. The code can be as long as you want, but it’s always a good idea to keep it short and simple.

Pro Tip: Promo codes are case-insensitive.

The amount has two methods of being applied as a discount: percentage-based or a fixed amount. Let's look at some examples with a product you’re selling for $10. If you put down 10 as a percentage-based amount, the buyer will pay $9 (a 10% discount). On the other hand, if you select a fixed amount and put down 3, the buyer will pay $7 (a fixed discount of $3).

The last main setting of the promo code is the duration. The default value for this setting is Forever, but you can also select Once, which will set the code to work for one time only. There's also the Multiple months option; this will display a field to input how many months the code will be live.

Once you’re done with all the main settings of the promo code, let’s move on to the advanced settings.

In the advanced settings section, you’re going to see six different toggle settings. These are:

  • Promo code expiration date: Display a date and time field to make the promo code expire once it is reached.
  • Limit the number of global redemptions: Display a number input field that will make the promo code expire once that many users use the code.
  • Promo code applies to new users: Set the code to be available only for new users - meaning people can only use the code if they haven’t bought anything or subscribed to your whop before.
  • Promo code applies to churned users: Set the code to be available only for users who are previous subscribers (or customers) of your whop. Users who haven’t bought anything from you won’t be able to use the code.
  • Promo code can only be used once per user: Set the promo code for one-time use, meaning that when a user uses the code, they won’t be able to use it again some other time.
  • Promo code applies to specific products: Display a list of all the products you have on your whop and checkboxes next to them so that you can select which products the code applies to. If this option is toggled off, the promo code applies to all products.

You can then click the Create promo code button to finish the process.

Tracking usage

Once you create your promo code, you’ll be able to see it listed in the Promo codes section of your dashboard.

There you can see a bunch of details like the code itself, its discount, uses, status, discount type, when it was created, and more.

You can use the Create promo code button at the top right to create another promo code, the Export button below it to export the data of your promo codes (which will be sent as an email), and the Edit button to alter the information shown in the list below.
