About OpenHome

OpenHome is an open-source AI smart speaker and voice AI platform that combines hardware and software to let developers build custom, real-time voice agents. Through its Voice SDK and DevKit, OpenHome handles wake word detection, speech-to-text, language model routing, and text-to-speech so developers can focus on creating abilities, personalities, and applications for smart homes, robotics, and other devices. The company is headquartered in San Francisco, California, and positions itself as an open, local, and privacy-focused alternative to closed smart speaker ecosystems from big tech platforms.

A charge with the descriptor “WHOP*OPENHOME NEW YORK NY” typically indicates that you purchased an OpenHome product or service (for example, an OpenHome DevKit, access to their developer tools, or related software/services) that was processed through Whop’s payment infrastructure. Whop acts as a merchant-of-record and payment processor for many online software and digital product vendors, so the card statement often shows a combined descriptor including both Whop and the underlying merchant name (in this case, OPENHOME) along with a location tied to Whop’s payments operation rather than OpenHome’s own headquarters. The transaction may be a one-time hardware purchase, a developer program fee, or potentially a recurring subscription tied to an OpenHome account.

If you’re unsure about this charge, start by signing into your email accounts for receipts from OpenHome or Whop and checking any OpenHome or Whop dashboards you might have used to order a DevKit or sign up for services. Look for order confirmations, invoices, or subscription records matching the date and amount of the charge. For disputes or clarifications, you can contact OpenHome via the contact options on their website and, if needed, also reach out to Whop support citing the full descriptor and transaction date. If you still do not recognize the transaction after checking associated accounts and family members’ purchases, you should contact your card issuer promptly to report a possible unauthorized charge and request a card replacement if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my card statement show “WHOP*OPENHOME NEW YORK NY” instead of just OpenHome?

OpenHome uses Whop’s payment infrastructure to process some transactions. Whop acts as the merchant of record, so your statement shows a combined descriptor like “WHOP*OPENHOME NEW YORK NY,” where WHOP identifies the processor and OPENHOME identifies the underlying merchant. The New York location reflects Whop’s payments operation, not OpenHome’s headquarters in San Francisco.

What products or services from OpenHome could result in this charge?

Common sources of an OpenHome charge include purchasing an OpenHome DevKit, paying for developer tools or platform access tied to OpenHome’s Voice SDK, or other software or services purchased through an OpenHome or Whop checkout page. Review your recent DevKit orders, OpenHome account activity, and any confirmation emails around the transaction date to see what was purchased.

Is this charge from a subscription or a one-time purchase with OpenHome?

OpenHome transactions can be either one-time (such as buying a DevKit) or recurring if you enrolled in an ongoing service or developer plan through their platform or a Whop-hosted checkout. Check the receipt or your OpenHome/Whop account billing page to see whether the plan is marked as recurring and what the billing interval is.

How can I cancel a recurring OpenHome subscription billed through Whop?

To cancel, first log into the account where you originally set up billing—this may be your OpenHome dashboard or a Whop account used at checkout. Go to the billing or subscriptions section and cancel the relevant plan there. After cancellation, you should receive an email confirmation; keep it for your records and monitor your next statement to ensure no further OpenHome/Whop charges occur.

How do I request a refund for an OpenHome purchase processed via Whop?

Refunds are typically initiated through the merchant—in this case, OpenHome. Contact OpenHome support using the contact or help links on openhome.com and provide your order number, transaction amount, date, and the descriptor “WHOP*OPENHOME” from your card statement. If the purchase was clearly made via a Whop checkout, you can also reference any Whop receipt or invoice. If you believe the transaction is fraudulent and cannot resolve it with the merchant, contact your card issuer to dispute the charge.

Why do I see multiple small or pending charges related to WHOP*OPENHOME?

Some payment processors, including those used by Whop, may place temporary authorization holds to verify your card or adjust for currency, taxes, or trial starts. These may appear as small or pending amounts tied to WHOP*OPENHOME and usually fall off your account within a few days if they are just authorizations. Only posted, non-reversed transactions represent actual billed charges.

How can I confirm which OpenHome or Whop account was used for this payment?

Check all email addresses you commonly use for signups for receipts from OpenHome or Whop that match the amount and date of the charge. Then, sign into the corresponding OpenHome or Whop account and open the billing or payments section, where you should see a transaction history with invoice numbers and card details (often partially masked) that align with the statement entry. This can help you confirm whether you, a team member, or a family member initiated the payment.

What should I do if I don’t recognize the WHOP*OPENHOME charge at all?

If you cannot match the charge to any OpenHome or Whop account, receipt, or known purchase after checking your records and asking authorized card users, treat it as potentially unauthorized. Immediately contact your card issuer using the number on the back of your card to report the unrecognized transaction, ask about additional related charges, and request a card replacement if advised. You can also notify OpenHome and Whop support with the transaction details so they can investigate from their side.
