What the Whatnot app is for
Whatnot is a marketplace built around live shopping. Sellers run video shows where they present items, and buyers watch and bid or buy as the show goes on. The app is aimed at people who want to buy or sell collectibles, fashion, sports items and other secondhand or specialty goods in real time.
Items cover a wide range, from bags, beauty products and jewelry to comics, coins, vinyl and vintage pieces. The listing also names electronics, sports and Pokémon cards, and plants among its categories.
Auctions, flash sales and giveaways during live shows
Inside a live show, items are sold through auctions and flash sales. Viewers can also enter live show giveaways. A chat runs alongside the video, so viewers can talk to the seller and to each other while the show is on.
The listing describes this as the core shopping experience, with buyers joining fast-paced bidding and time-limited sales as the seller presents each item.
Searching the marketplace by category
Outside live shows, the app has a marketplace where you can search for specific items. The listing says there are more than 250 categories, including electronics, sports and Pokémon cards, fashion, plants and jewelry.
The developer says hundreds of thousands of sellers take part, and that the marketplace includes name brands, emerging labels and hard-to-find specialty products.
Buyer Protection on purchases
Purchases made through the app are covered by Whatnot's Buyer Protection policy. The listing says it applies when an item arrives damaged, arrives missing, or is not as described.
The policy is a stated feature of the app, not a service the listing says is separate from buying.
Selling live through the app
The same app is used by sellers who present their own items on live shows. The listing says sellers can make more by selling live, and that small businesses generated more than $8 billion in sales on the platform last year.
The listing gives no further detail on how seller tools work inside the app.
