Understanding trial abuse and prevention

  • What is trial abuse? This happens when someone keeps signing up for free trials but cancels before they have to pay. They might use different emails or make new accounts to avoid paying.
  • How Whop stops this: Whop automatically catches when the same person tries to sign up for multiple free trials. If someone cancels and then tries to rejoin with another trial, the system will charge them full price instead of giving them another free period.
Don’t worry too much about trial abuse: 99% of people use trials honestly, and Whop handles the bad actors automatically.
