Seller tools for Whatnot live shows, on the iPad or iPhone you already own. Backstage Live for Whatnot records every sale by name the moment it happens, gives each buyer a bin, prints a bin label to a Bluetooth thermal printer the second an item sells, works out what each item earned after Whatnot's fees, and hands you a packing manifest when you end the show. No computer anywhere in the setup. On Whatnot, the show is the easy part. The grind starts after you go offline: going through your video receipts to work out who bought what, hand-writing bin numbers on sticky notes, and shipping from memory at 2 AM. Backstage is the crew behind your camera. Go live from your phone like normal, open the same show in Backstage on your iPad, and it does the rest. WHAT IT RECORDS, LIVE - Every sale, by name. The buyer's first name, the item, the price, the instant it sells. Auctions, Buy It Now, flash sales. - A photo of every sale, taken from your stream the moment it sold. When a buyer asks "was that the navy one?", tap the card. - What each item earned after Whatnot's fees. The real number, not the hammer price. - Repeat buyers stack on one card, and buyer history follows you across shows. - Tips, raids and giveaways in their own Shoutouts list, so a thank-you never gets lost and a free win never eats a bin number. - The moments you would miss: who raided you, who won the giveaway, whose payment is pending, who just made their first purchase. Flagged live, by name. HOW IT SORTS THE SHOW WHILE YOU SELL - Bins, assigned for you. Each buyer gets a bin number on their first win and keeps it all show. - A live board for whoever packs for you, shared by link, nothing to install. - A sale waiting on payment keeps its bin, gets its own label, and stays out of your totals until it clears. - Hold a buyer's bin across shows for weekly bundled shipping. LABELS THAT PRINT THEMSELVES Pair a Bluetooth thermal printer inside the app once, and a bin label prints the second a buyer wins: big bin number, the buyer's name, a star for a first-time buyer, and giveaway and pending labels. Item labels with the lot number if you want them. Sizes from 2x1 to 4x6. No printer yet? Bins work with a marker, and the manifest is a PDF you can print anywhere. WHAT YOU GET AT END SHOW A packing manifest: every buyer, every bin, every item, with a photo of each item, grouped by bin in pull order. Whatnot's own list is by buyer with no pictures; this one is sorted the way you pack. Plus a recap with the real net after fees. These are not Whatnot's shipping labels. Whatnot handles the postage from Seller Hub after the show. Backstage handles the part it does not: who bought what, which bin it is in, and what to pull. LIST YOUR NEXT SHOW IN MINUTES Backstage Prep builds a whole batch of listings on your iPad or iPhone: snap a photo and the built-in lookup fills in the details, reuse templates, bulk-edit price, category and shipping profile, number your lots in one tap, and export a CSV that matches Whatnot's import template. CONSIGNMENT, HANDLED Tag items to the people you sell for. Every sale lands on the right consignor as it happens, the split is worked from what the item really earned after fees, and each consignor gets a free web portal to see what sold and what they are owed. ONE LOGIN, EVERY DEVICE The same account runs this app and the Backstage Chrome extension on a Mac or Windows computer. Raid Trains is free for everyone. A FEW HONEST NOTES - It only reads the Whatnot show you open. It never signs in as you, never posts, and never touches your stream or your account. - Your captured sales stay yours. Nothing is sold. - Built by a working Whatnot seller, not affiliated with Whatnot. A real person reads every message, usually the same day. Every paid plan starts with a free trial. A Backstage account is required. Run the show. We've got backstage.

Sales now record reliably through reloads and restarts, so your order list stays complete. Thanks for the reports — please keep them coming. ### 1.33 — 2026-09-11 Sharper numbers, and a quieter night. If a buyer's payment is retried, your show now counts that sale once — so your totals, and anything you owe a consignor, stay true to what actually sold. We've also rebuilt the app's error reporting, so problems surface on our end sooner and get fixed faster. ## Apps similar to Backstage Live for Whatnot | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Birdies Rewards](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/birdies-rewards/id6757185748) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Business | | [Shelf-Snap](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/shelf-snap/id6763114784) | 5.0 (5) | Free | Business | | [MyHealthCop Pro](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/myhealthcop-pro/id6453520903) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Business | | [Poppy Bridal Store](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/poppy-bridal-store/id6449001264) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Business | | [SQ Institute](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/sq-institute/id6740345009) | 3.0 (2) | Free | Business | | [Michaan's Live](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/michaans-live/id6748823103) | — | Free | Business | ## More apps by Slow Arcs, LLC - [Backstage Sidekick](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/backstage-sidekick/id6800130682) All apps by Slow Arcs, LLC: https://appshunter.io/developer/1896318722 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
