YOUR PRACTICAL PREPARATION PLAN

Whop business selling checklist

Work through the information a buyer needs, from the financial history to the final handover. Print or save a copy and use it to track your progress.

Check the fit

This is a sale of a whole Whop, Shopify or SaaS business with genuine past revenue. Current revenue and profit may be zero; a never-revenue project is outside the marketplace’s current scope.
Confirm your authority to sell the assets. Listing review, member identity verification and connected financial data are separate checks.

Separate community members from active paying subscribers. Record each count with an as-of date and explain paused or complimentary access.
Map Whop products, the connected community, course content and bots. Confirm the supported transfer path for each; transferring a Discord server alone does not transfer every billing or app relationship.

List prepaid annual memberships, promised updates, support commitments and unresolved refunds. Identify who will fulfill the remaining service.
Document who owns videos, templates, software, brand names and community content. Obtain permission for third-party material where required.

Describe your weekly tasks, moderation coverage and any personal expertise or appearances central to the offer.
Create a transition plan for staff and members. Avoid promising that every member will renew under a new owner.

Choose a historical period with genuine revenue and keep its currency and dates. Show current trading separately, even if current revenue is zero.
Reconcile collected revenue, refunds and disputes. Add the operating costs needed to deliver the service; revenue is not profit.
Connect an authorized Whop, Stripe or Shopify account and complete its initial import before first submission. Select the business whose figures relate to the sale. A personal payment history alone is not a business.
Explain gaps, seasonality and decline in plain language. Never replace missing records with zero or annualize a former peak as current recurring revenue.

Choose Active or Inactive. For an inactive business, record when it stopped trading and what remains available.
Describe the whole business, included assets, exclusions and ongoing obligations. Keep Asking Price distinct from an optional Buy Now amount.
Save a draft before you have every answer. Complete the financial connection and review the preview before submitting for listing review.
Keep customer lists, passwords, API keys and personal documents out of the public description. Share permitted evidence privately through the appropriate conversation or deal workspace.

Compare total price, timing, installments, included assets and remaining work. Check each party’s relevant fees before accepting terms.
Listing is free. Published listings renew every 30 days until sold, unless withdrawn, suspended or otherwise removed.
For USD sales, the seller fee is 7% through $50,000 inclusive or 5% above $50,000, applied to the whole sale price. The buyer fee is 2% on top. Cancellation refunds include collected platform fees under the agreed cancellation process.
Do not treat an uploaded receipt as confirmation of funds. Follow payment instructions and progress in the deal workspace; never send money merely because a message asks you to.

Agree an asset checklist, access sequence, exclusions and responsibilities before transfer. Confirm third-party transfer rules rather than promising a universal account handover.
Use account invitations or supported ownership transfers and rotate access securely. Do not put credentials in the listing.
Agree how existing customers, annual memberships, refunds and open support cases will be handled.
Buyer inspection and explicit handover acceptance are separate steps. Keep unresolved issues in the deal workspace; silence does not accept delivery.
