Shelf-Snap is the inventory app built for Whatnot resellers who want to tackle the death pile and import listings into Whatnot 2-3 times faster!! Take back your time Photograph your items, fill one streamlined form, use Snap-Search to auto generate the title and description, and export a clean CSV ready for Whatnot's bulk import — no desktop, no spreadsheets, no juggling ten apps to get your show stocked. Why Shelf-Snap exists: Whatnot's CSV import is desktop-only and too complex for sellers working from their phone. Shelf-Snap was built by an active Whatnot seller who got tired of typing the same listings twice. Every feature is there because it solves a real problem — not because it looked good in a pitch. Whatnot sellers using Shelf-Snap can create and list about 1.5 items per minute. What you can do with Shelf-Snap: Snap-Search — identify what you're holding and get the listing title and description for you, instead of typing them from scratch Create batches for each show or BIN drop Snap multiple photos per item Templates for the listings you do over and over Auto-number every item Export a Whatnot-ready CSV to Files Track sold items and see what's working in a simple dashboard Biz Math: work out what to list something for before you buy it, after Whatnot's fees Free forever: 50 active listings 2 CSV exports per month Up to 15 items per export 2 photos per item Up to 10 templates Biz Math calculator Sold tracking 5 Snap-Search credits per month Shelf-Snap Pro ($9.99/mo or $107.99/yr): Unlimited exports and items 8 photos per item Unlimited templates In-app Whatnot dashboard shortcut (no more desktop round-trip) Paid-tier item numbering formats Per-batch numbering restart 250 Snap-Search credits per month Team Mode Credit packs: one-time credit top-ups are available in-app if you need more Snap-Search in a busy month.
