Whop brings full stack API to create and scale a business with a partnership across SpaceXAI products. Sep 03, 2026, 10:00 ET New integrations give Grok and Grok Bot users direct access to turn ideas into businesses and let Cursor developers direct Whop end-to-end business functions from inside coding environments NEW YORK, Sept. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - Whop, the company building the first end-to-end API for running a business, announced a partnership with SpaceXAI and a new integration with Cursor that brings Whop's end-to-end API directly into AI-powered workflows. SpaceXAI has named Whop Grok's first end-to-end business connector, giving Grok users the ability to create and manage businesses through natural-language commands. The Cursor integration gives developers access to Whop's business infrastructure directly inside their coding workflow, making it possible to create businesses and scale faster than ever before. Additionally, the Whop connector in Grok Bot allows business operators to spin up AI teammates that work asynchronously over long periods of time with dedicated roles and recurring tasks. Once users connect their Whop accounts, Grok can perform the same actions available through Whop CLI for their authenticated business, including creating a website, creating and managing products, creating checkouts, deploying ads and even creating an LLC. Grok can also query a user's live business data, including revenue, ad performance, pixel data and card spend, to help users understand what's working and where to optimize their business next. Whop is also now available in the Cursor Marketplace under Payments, where developers can add the Whop connector directly to Cursor. The integration connects Cursor to Whop's business tools so developers can run businesses programmatically without leaving their coding environment. For developers building a new product in Cursor, enabling payments and more through Whop's API becomes as simple as adding the Whop integration from the Marketplace. "It is now possible to create businesses at the speed of thought. Whop centralizes your website, your payments, and your distribution, so you can just focus on the ideas," said Steven Schwartz, CEO and Co-founder of Whop. "We are focused on integrating directly with the AI surfaces where people work to decrease the time from idea to income." These integrations build on Whop's end-to-end API, including products like Whop CLI and MCP. Using simple language prompts, business owners can create products, manage payments and run other core operations. The SpaceXAI and Cursor integrations advance Whop's mission to provide everyone with a pathway to earning sustainable income and builds on the company's recent launches of Whop CLI and Whop Cards, as well as growing API partnerships with Replit, Poke, Cal.com, and more. The Whop connector for Grok is available now. Users can create a free Whop account at whop.com, then visit grok.com/connectors, select Whop, and authorize their account. Whop can be integrated with Grok Bot as well by searching the Plugins tab or asking a Bot to authorize Whop. The Whop plugin for Cursor is available now through the Cursor Marketplace and can be added directly inside Cursor. A new business on Whop can now start in a Grok or Grok Bot conversation or directly inside a Cursor build.

Whop MCP: see membership revenue and churn from a chat. What Whop's MCP server lets an AI read (products, access passes, members, memberships, payments, payouts), the asks that pay off for a membership business, and how to connect Whop to Eden and put the churn check on a routine. Whop publishes an MCP server, so an AI assistant can read your products, access passes, members, memberships, payments, and payouts. For a membership or community business that means the two questions you check every day, "what came in?" and "who left?", become one message instead of a dashboard tour. Here is what the server reaches, what to ask, and how to connect Whop to Eden so the answers arrive next to everything else you run. Full disclosure: Eden Suite, Inc. make Eden. The first two sections apply to any MCP client. What an AI can reach in Whop. * Products and access passes. What you sell and which tier unlocks what. * Members and memberships. Who is in, on which pass, since when, and whose membership ended. * Payments and payouts. What came in, when, and what has been paid out to you. Whop's tools are mostly reads, which fits a connector well: the AI reports and reasons, and you keep account changes in Whop itself. The asks that pay for themselves. "How much did Whop bring in this week, and which tier churned?" The Monday question. The AI has payments and membership changes side by side, so the answer names the tier, not just the total. "List members whose membership ended in the last 7 days, with how long they were in." Churn by tenure tells you whether people leave after the first month or after a year, which are two different problems. "Who joined this week, and from which product?" Useful right after a launch or a promo to see which offer actually moved. "Which access pass has the best retention?" Ask this once and it changes what you promote. Connecting Whop to Eden. * Open Settings | Connectors and click Sign in on Whop. Approve the access in the window that opens. * Eden lists the tools it found. They are live in every chat in the workspace right away. * Ask for a number you already know, like last month's revenue, to confirm the right business is connected. If you run more than one Whop business, the one you pick during sign-in is the one Eden sees. Every tool can be switched off, and the connection can be paused or removed under Settings | Connectors. Details in the connectors help article. Put the churn check on a routine. Eden's routines run a prompt on a schedule and email you the result: * Daily churn check. "Every weekday at 8am, list Whop members whose membership ended in the last 24 hours, with tenure and tier. Draft a short, personal win-back note for each in my voice." * Weekly revenue recap. "Every Monday at 7am, summarize Whop payments for last week versus the week before, by product. List new and ended memberships. End with the one thing I should look at." Each run lands in a fresh chat. Tell the routine to save its recap to a table and the weeks line up on their own. Whop with the rest of the stack. Whop tells you who paid and who left. Your newsletter tells you who is still reading, and your community tells you who is still talking. Connected in the same workspace, one ask covers all three: "did the members who churned this month open the last three newsletters or post in the community?" The full guide walks through connecting the whole creator stack.

Whop adds Tap to Pay on iPhone so small businesses can take payments in person. Last updated: Aug 28, 2026 10:51 am UTC No card reader. Contactless cards, Apple Pay and Apple Watch, taken on the phone itself. US businesses only, one-time payments only. Discover more Social Networks E-Commerce Services Apple's Tap to Pay on iPhone makes the phone the card reader. Nothing plugs in, nothing charges overnight, nothing gets left in the van. Whop, a business platform for taking payments and sending payouts, switched it on in its iOS app in July, and it now sits inside every checkout link the app generates. * An iPhone XS or later on the latest version of iOS * The current Whop iOS app * A US business account Apple sets the outer limit. Tap to Pay on iPhone is not live in every country, and the supported regions are listed at developer.apple.com/tap-to-pay/regions. Taking a payment. It runs on checkout links, the same ones used online, so nothing separate gets set up for the counter. Add an item in the app for whatever is being sold face to face. One general item covers a stall or a till. When a customer is ready to pay, generate a checkout link from the phone. A QR code appears with a Tap to pay button underneath it. Press the button. The customer holds a contactless card, an iPhone or an Apple Watch to the top of your phone, and it clears in seconds. Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover all work, as do Apple Pay and other mobile wallets. Anyone wanting a receipt adds an email address at checkout. The QR code is the fallback. Hand the link over, or let the customer scan and pay on their own phone. Both routes settle into the same balance, which covers the card that will not tap and the phone sitting on 2%. Where the money goes. Takings from the tap land in the same balance as online sales and go out on whatever payout method and schedule the business already runs. One ledger instead of two, and no reconciling a card machine against a website at close. What it costs. Whop publishes 2.7% plus $0.30 per successful transaction on domestic cards and wallets, with 1.5% more on international cards and another 1% where currency conversion applies. The fees page carries no separate card-present rate, so check it before assuming in-person matches online. Prices are in US dollars. Payouts are priced on their own. Next-day ACH to a US bank is $2.50. Real-time bank deposit is 4% plus $1.00. The limits. Tap to Pay takes one-time payments. It cannot start a recurring plan, so a gym collecting monthly fees at the front desk still needs another route for those and can use the tap for one-off sales. Geography is the other constraint. US businesses for now, on top of Apple's own regional availability. Who it fits. The clearest case is a business selling in two places at once. A shop with a website. A trainer who bills online and takes payment in the room. Someone working fairs at the weekend and running orders through a site during the week. All of them currently reconcile a card machine that reports separately and settles on its own timetable. Then there is the business that skipped in-person sales because a terminal was never worth buying for one trade show a year. That maths changes when the hardware is a phone you already own. Whop has called this a first step and says more in-person tooling is coming. Whop's announcement has the launch detail, and the feature is live in the iOS app now.
