Feature Request:
I’d love to see Whop.com integration added to Pickaxe to allow creators to sell access to their Pickaxes through Whop’s marketplace and subscription system.
Why This Would Be Useful:
Currently, Pickaxe only supports Stripe for payments, which is great, but adding Whop support would provide several major benefits, including:
Access to Whop’s Marketplace – This would allow Pickaxe creators to list their tools in Whop’s marketplace, bringing in organic traffic and new users without relying only on external promotion.
Built-in Subscription & Licensing Management – Whop automatically handles recurring payments, renewals, cancellations, and access control. This would remove the need for custom subscription logic and make managing paid Pickaxes easier.
More Payment Options – Unlike Stripe (which mainly supports credit/debit cards), Whop allows customers to pay via PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and even crypto, increasing conversion rates.
Fraud & Chargeback Protection – Whop absorbs more risk than Stripe, helping reduce chargebacks and fraudulent purchases, which is especially useful for digital products.
Affiliate Marketing & Promotions – Whop has a built-in affiliate network, so Pickaxe creators could allow affiliates to promote their AI tools and earn a commission, driving more sales.
How It Could Work in Pickaxe:
- Add Whop API integration to allow Pickaxe creators to link their Whop product to their Pickaxe.
- When a user buys a subscription on Whop, it grants access to the Pickaxe automatically.
- If a user cancels or gets refunded, their access is revoked.
- Creators can set different Whop plans/tiered pricing options for their Pickaxe.
Final Thoughts:
This would be an amazing feature for Pickaxe creators who want to sell their AI tools more effectively, grow their audience, and streamline payments. Whop is already a leading platform for monetizing digital products, and integrating it into Pickaxe would make the platform even more powerful.
Would love to hear thoughts from the team and community on this!
