Whop takes first place because it treats Discord access as one perk inside a full store rather than the whole product. Its documentation shows the flow: add the Discord app from the Whop App Store, connect a server, move the Whop bot above the role you want to sell, then attach that role to a product. When a membership ends you pick the action, from removing only the roles Whop assigned, which is the default, to removing all roles, kicking the member or doing nothing. Whop's fee page lists card processing at 2.7% plus $0.30 for domestic cards, plus 1.5% for international cards and 1% if currency conversion applies. Optional extras such as billing at 0.5%, orchestration at 0.8% and tax collection at 2% stack on top when you enable them, and payouts cost from $2.50. For a creator selling a Discord role, a course and a tool together, that is less than Patreon's or Discord's 10%.

Who it is for

Creators who sell Discord access alongside other digital products and want payments, payouts and role syncing in one dashboard.

Price

No monthly plan price; card processing 2.7% + $0.30 per domestic transaction, plus 1.5% for international cards.
