# Brick and mortar

> Learn how to launch and run your brick-and-mortar business on Whop

We're still working on making Whop a better place for brick-and-mortar businesses. In the meantime, many shops use Whop to accept in-person payments and add social features for their patrons.

## Run in-store sales on Whop in 4 simple steps

#### Create a general product for your in-store purchase

Go to your whop > click **Products** > **Add product**. Name the product
your store and write a catchy headline as to why people come to your shop.

#### Take in-person payments with the Whop iOS app

Open the Whop iOS app, click the bottom right tab, and then create a
checkout link when it's time for a customer to pay. After you create a
checkout link from your phone, a QR code button will appear so customers can
scan and pay. You can also save or print the QR for signage.

#### Give patrons exclusive perks

Add a patrons-only
[**Forums**](https://whop.com/apps/app_dYfm2IdXhDMquv/install/) app for
updates and announcements, and add a merch store using the [**Merch Store**](https://whop.com/apps/app_bLSc10GEFPDu4G/install/) app so paying
customers can buy your merchandise.

> **Tip**

> This is just one good way to use Whop as a brick-and-mortar business. There
> are many other setups depending on your goals.
