Backstage LITE

Lite watches the show
so you never rewatch it.

Every sale, tip, and raid captured live — buyer name, handle, screenshot, the second they win. End the show and your manifest's already done. No more 2 AM video receipts.

Built by a working Whatnot seller — I read every signup personally and reply within 24–48 hours. — Jackie, Backstage Live

Chrome extension · runs while you're on Whatnot · no thermal printer, no helper app, no $1k setup

What Lite is

Lite is the watcher.

It captures every sale, tip, and raid live, names the buyer, and hands you ready-made manifest and bin-label PDFs the moment you end the show. Print and label your bins by hand, at your own pace, on any printer you already own. Built for sellers who label their own bins — want it hands-free? Add Backstage Print →

Without Backstage Lite

You finish the show. Then the real work starts.

📼

Watching video receipts

You re-watch your own stream over and over, pairing every item number with the right buyer before you can start packing.

🏷️

Handwritten chaos

Number tags, masking tape, sticky notes — whatever's nearest. By hour three you're deciphering "BIN 11 — jackie_blu?" and two stickers are stuck to the cat.

🔀

The matching game

Show ends, and you cross-reference every handle to every order to every bin before you can even start packing. An hour minimum, usually more.

"Wait, who got that?"

Halfway through the pile, a tag's fallen off an item — and now you're scrambling to figure out whose bin it belongs to before your next show.

Backstage Lite does the watching so you can do the selling.

Everything Lite does, automatically

No extra clicks during the show. No buttons to babysit. It just watches.

1

Buyer name auto-capture

When a sale fires, Backstage grabs the @handle and the buyer's first name. Thank Jackie by name instead of @m_buyer_88.

  • BIN, auction, flash sale — all auto-attributed
  • Repeat buyers get a REPEAT IN SHOW badge instantly
  • Buyer history persists across shows — recognize regulars without checking DMs
2

Screenshot of every sale — no more video receipts

Every captured sale pins a thumbnail from the moment it fired. When a buyer DMs "is that the navy one?", click the card — instant proof, no scrubbing.

  • Pulled from the actual livestream frame, not the listing photo
  • Pinned next to each sale card in the Live Feed
  • Stored locally — nothing uploads, nothing slows you down
3

Tips & raids tracked

"🎁 Tipped $5" turns into a card. "Raiding with a party of 47" turns into a card. You'll never miss a tip or fail to thank a raider again.

  • Tip cards show buyer + amount, ready to total
  • Raid cards show streamer + viewer count
  • Goes into the post-show PDF as its own section
4

Live Co-Pilot

A quiet nudge as you sell — Co-Pilot reads your momentum and surfaces a tip when it matters: "Momentum high — keep similar items flowing" or "Lull — try a flash sale".

  • Reads real-time sale velocity — never spams
  • Quiet during giveaways & raids
  • Works across Lite & iOS
5

End-of-show PDFs — manifest + bin labels

One click ends the show and hands you a printable manifest PDF — every buyer, every bin, every item, totals. Plus blank bin label PDFs for any printer (or thermal, if you have one).

  • Manifest: grouped by bin, sorted in pull order, ready to share
  • Bin labels: 5 formats — generic letter, Avery 5160 / 5163, thermal 4×6 / 2×1
  • Save the PDF the way you'd save a receipt — emailed to yourself, dropped in a folder, done
Run with a helper?

Your packer ships while you sell.

Send whoever's packing one link and your binner board opens right in their browser — nothing to install. Each buyer gets a bin, and every sale they win drops into that same bin in real time, with the item, size, and price. Your packer sorts and packs while the show is still live, so the moment you call “done,” one bin is one buyer's whole order, ready to box. No DMing lot numbers, no waiting on the manifest, no “wait, who got that?”

  • 🔗 A live, link-shareable board — your packer just opens the link, nothing to install
  • 🗂️ Each buyer gets a bin; their wins stack in it live, so one bin = one whole order
  • 📸 Pending items show a photo so your packer can spot exactly which one to pull
  • First-time buyers and pending payments flagged, so nothing ships early
  • ⏱️ Ephemeral — the board clears itself a few hours after the show

FAQ

Do I need a thermal printer to use Lite?

No. Lite captures sales and hands you manifest + bin-label PDFs you can print on any printer you already own, and label your bins by hand. When you want it hands-free, add Backstage Print and every sale auto-prints its own label.

How does the free trial work?

You start a 7-day free trial and add a card, but you're not charged until day 8 — cancel anytime before then from your portal and pay nothing. After the trial, Lite is $14/mo at the founding rate. No surprise charges.

Can I move to the iPad app later?

Yes. One Backstage account works across Lite and the iPad app — the Plus plan includes both. Your buyer history follows your account, so nothing's lost when you switch or run both.

How is this different from Whatnot's built-in tools?

Whatnot's seller dashboard is great for running the show, but it doesn't follow you to the packing room. Lite produces a printable manifest the moment you finish capturing — no spreadsheet exports, no copy/paste, no "wait, who bought lot 12?" the next morning.
