Whop is a marketplace and infrastructure platform for selling digital products, community access, software tools, and SaaS. Unlike Gumroad (downloads only) or Patreon (subscriptions only), Whop combines storefront, community, software licensing, Discord integration, and access control in one platform. Creators use Whop to sell access to trading groups, AI tools, courses, and exclusive communities with software-based access enforcement.
