# Free trials

> Learn how to set up a free trial for your whop

Free trials give people access to your whop for a limited time. Once the trial ends, they are automatically charged the standard price for access.

## Add a free trial from your Dashboard

1. Go to **Dashboard** > **Checkout links**
2. Pick an existing link and click the 3 dots (⋮) > **Edit**, or make a new one by clicking **+ Create checkout link**
3. Check **Free trial**
4. Pick how many free days you want to offer (like 1 day, 7 days, or 30 days)
5. Click **Update checkout link** to activate your free trial

> **Note**
>
> You can only add a free trial to 'Recurring' checkout links, not one-time
> payments.

## 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.

> **Tip**
>
> Don't worry too much about trial abuse: 99% of people use trials honestly, and
> Whop handles the bad actors automatically.
