##  What is Whop?

Whop is a marketplace and infrastructure platform where creators sell memberships, [digital products](/glossary/digital-product), software keys, and access to private Discord or Telegram groups. It provides storefront pages, checkout, license verification, seat management, and anti-leak protection, which is why it is popular with trading, gaming, and [automation](/glossary/automation) communities. Whop also offers discovery through its marketplace, affiliate tracking, and analytics so sellers can scale recurring revenue without building their own backend.
