If you sell coaching, courses or programs above a few hundred dollars, price is often the last objection. Buy now, pay later (BNPL) lets buyers split the cost while you get paid upfront. Whop supports more financing providers than most platforms, but you need approval and it is not cheap. Here is what to know, and how email helps you get the most from it.
Which providers Whop supports
Whop lists thirteen financing options: Afterpay (Clearpay in the UK), Splitit, Klarna, Sezzle, Zip, ClarityPay, PayPal, Scalapay, Tamara, SeQura, Kueski, Addi and native card installments. A few highlights from Whop's docs:
| Provider | Regions | Max amount | Max term |
|---|---|---|---|
| Klarna | US, EU, UK, Canada, Australia | $10k | 24 months |
| Afterpay / Clearpay | US, UK, Australia | $4k | 12 months |
| Splitit | US and international | $20k | 6 months |
| ClarityPay | US, Puerto Rico | $30k | 36 months |
| Scalapay | Italy, France, Spain, Portugal | €3k | 4 months |
Options show up automatically at checkout when the buyer is eligible. Many depend on the checkout currency, so turning on adaptive pricing (local currency) helps buyers abroad see them.
Who qualifies
Whop's requirements include:
- A fully verified Whop Payments account and a complete store page.
- A dispute rate under 2% over 90 days. New businesses submit 90 days of statements from their previous processor.
- At least $30,000 processed from 10 or more customers in the last 90 days.
- An eligible category. Gambling, trading signals (pure education may be fine), credit offers and adult content are not.
Apply from the Payouts page under Financing and other payment methods, or when creating a checkout link.

What it costs
Financing is the most expensive way to get paid on Whop. Its fees page lists 15% for financing and 20% for ClarityPay No Interest. On a $2,000 program, that is $300 to $400. It is worth it only if it brings sales you would not otherwise get. Track conversion before and after.
Keep financing turned on
Disputes are what lose sellers their financing access. Whop shows dispute rates per financing partner on your Health report and sends warnings. Email is your best tool for keeping disputes low:
- Welcome right after purchase. Confirm what they bought, how to access it and when the first session is.
- Onboarding in the first week. Buyers who start using the product early do not dispute it.
- Check-ins at key milestones. Especially before the end of a refund window.
- Plain refund instructions. A refund is better than a chargeback for everyone.
Our 7-day welcome email sequence is a good base.
Use email to sell the financed offer
BNPL lowers the barrier, but buyers still need to want the offer. Mention the monthly option in your sales emails ("from about $X per month with Klarna, if eligible") and send a reminder to people who opened the checkout but did not pay. See abandoned checkout emails.
WhopMail connects to Whop, so purchases, payments and cancellations each start the right flow without manual work.
After the big purchase
A buyer who just financed a program is a good candidate for a small, related add-on, like a workbook or a bonus call. Our sister product OneClick Upsell shows a one-click offer right after checkout. For PayPal specifically, see their guide to accepting PayPal on Whop. Their Whop payment methods guide covers every other way buyers can pay.
