New features, improvements, and what's coming next to Shelf-Snap. Built by a Whatnot seller, shipped often.
Shelf-Snap is iPhone-only today. Android is on the roadmap — we'll post here the moment there's a date.
I've found a bug involving duplicated items and I'm fixing it now. When you duplicate an item, the copy shares its photos with the original behind the scenes. Right now, if you then edit, rotate, crop, remove, or use Remove Background on a photo of either the original or the duplicate, it can delete the shared photo file — making the photo disappear on the other item.
Until this is fixed, avoid editing photos on duplicated items (or the item they were duplicated from). If you need a different photo, it's safest to re-take or add a fresh photo rather than editing an existing one. Making a duplicate is completely fine — it's only editing the photos afterward that triggers the problem. I'll update this note the moment the fix ships. Sorry for the hassle, and thank you for the patience 🙏
This is a big one. Teams. You can now share your ShelfSnap account, invite people in, and run your inventory together — a business partner, your kid helping you list, a VA across the country, all working from the same shared catalog. Seats and roles are included. I've wanted this forever, because listing was never meant to be a one-person bottleneck.
Numbering, your way. Take full control of how your items are numbered — set your own prefixes, separators, and suffixes, restart numbering per batch, and condense your numbers to close any gaps left behind when items sell or get deleted. Your lineup stays clean and in order.
Also in this update: View All Items — every item across every batch in one place, with search, filter, and bulk move or delete. Facebook Marketplace export — bulk CSV to crosslist beyond Whatnot (Pro). And lots of behind-the-scenes polish and fixes.
Rolling out to the App Store Sunday night. Update when it lands and tell me what you think — Teams especially, I want to hear how you end up using it 🙏
Not a Shelf-Snap change, but a big one for all of us: starting in early August 2026, Whatnot is making Ground Advantage the default USPS service, retiring Flat Rate shipping entirely, and dropping rates on 1–5 lb packages by about 20%. Priority Mail stays as an optional, pricier choice.
Most sellers won't have to lift a finger — Whatnot flips you to Ground Advantage automatically. But if you ship Flat Rate, you'll need to switch to your own packaging, and accurate weights matter more than ever. I broke down what's changing and how to prep in Whatnot Shipping 101 (see the heads-up at the top).
This is the build I've been most excited about. The big one is Snap-Search — take a photo of your item and it tries to ID it and fill in the title and details for you. Is it perfect every time? No (vintage is HARD, you all know this) — but for a ton of stuff it gets you most of the way there and you just clean it up. I built it because I was so tired of typing out the same Pyrex descriptions over and over and OVER.
Background removal is in there too — free for everyone, every tier. One tap and the clutter behind your item is gone. No more building a perfect white backdrop if you don't feel like it.
Sales tracking got a real glow-up. Import your Whatnot sales CSV and it shows you what actually sold and your REAL net after fees — not the gross number that makes you feel rich for about five seconds. Per-item breakdown too.
Plus a bunch of photo stuff I honestly wanted for myself: crop any photo, straighten a crooked shot, and square up your cover so Whatnot's grid stops chopping your item's head off. And you can FINALLY move an item to a different batch without rebuilding it from scratch.
Oh, and there's in-app feedback now — so when something annoys you (it will, I'm one person over here) you can just tell me right there. I read every single one. Founding Partners: thank you, your notes shaped half of this list. Go update and tell me what breaks 🙏
