CLI

The create-whop-kit CLI is the fastest way to get a Whop-powered app up and running. It handles scaffolding, database provisioning, deployment, Whop configuration, and pricing plans — all from the terminal.

Create a New Project

npx create-whop-kit my-app

Or skip the setup questions with flags:

npx create-whop-kit my-app --framework nextjs --db neon

What the CLI Does

1. Scaffolds your project from a template (SaaS or Blank)
2. Provisions a database via Neon, Supabase, or Prisma Postgres
3. Pushes to GitHub (private repo)
4. Deploys to Vercel (connected to GitHub for auto-deploy on push)
5. Creates your Whop app with OAuth + webhooks via the Whop API
6. Sets up pricing plans (products + plans created on Whop)
7. Opens your editor (Cursor, VS Code, etc.)

Presets

The CLI offers presets to skip configuration:

• SaaS Starter — Next.js + Neon + GitHub + Vercel + pricing plans
• Blank Canvas — Next.js + Neon + GitHub + Vercel (no plans, build anything)
• Custom — choose framework, database, and options manually

Flags

Manage Your Project

After creating a project, use whop-kit to add features and manage configuration:

Add Pricing Plans

npx whop-kit add plans

Walks you through creating subscription plans on Whop:

• How many paid tiers (1-3)
• Free tier included?
• Monthly + yearly or monthly only
• Price for each tier

Creates products and plans via the Whop API and writes plan IDs to .env.local.

Add Email

npx whop-kit add email

Configure transactional email with Resend or SendGrid. Writes EMAIL_PROVIDER, EMAIL_API_KEY, and EMAIL_FROM_ADDRESS to .env.local.

Add Analytics

npx whop-kit add analytics

Add PostHog, Google Analytics, or Plausible. Writes ANALYTICS_PROVIDER and ANALYTICS_ID to .env.local.

Add Webhook Events

npx whop-kit add webhook-event

Scaffolds a new webhook event handler and shows you where to add it.

Check Status

npx whop-kit status

Shows your project's configuration status — what's configured (green), what's missing (red), and what's optional (yellow).

View Environment Variables

npx whop-kit env           # masked values
npx whop-kit env --reveal  # actual values

Deploy / Redeploy

npx whop-kit deploy

Deploys to Vercel, connects to Whop, pushes all credentials. Use this to redeploy after configuration changes or to set up Whop if you skipped it during init.

List Available Services

npx whop-kit catalog

Shows all available templates, database providers, features, and agent skills.

Open Dashboards

npx whop-kit open whop     # Whop Developer Dashboard
npx whop-kit open neon     # Neon Console
npx whop-kit open supabase # Supabase Dashboard
npx whop-kit open vercel   # Vercel Dashboard

Update whop-kit

npx whop-kit upgrade

Updates the whop-kit dependency in your project to the latest version.

Database Provisioning

The CLI auto-provisions databases — no need to leave the terminal:

Deployment Flow

When you choose to deploy, the CLI handles:

GitHub — Creates a private repo and pushes your code. Every future git push auto-deploys.

Vercel — Links your project, connects to GitHub, sets environment variables, and deploys.

Whop — Guides you through creating a Company API key, then:

• Creates your Whop app via the API
• Guides you to set OAuth to Public mode
• Creates webhook endpoints for payment events
• Pushes all credentials to Vercel
• Redeploys with full configuration

AI Support

The CLI installs agent skills for AI coding assistants:

• Neon — neon-postgres, neon-serverless skills
• Supabase — supabase-postgres-best-practices skill
• Whop — whop-saas-starter, whop-dev skills

A .whop/project-context.md file is generated with your project's configuration, so AI assistants understand your setup.
