Also on iPad and iPhone: Backstage Live for Whatnot is the same tool as a native app, with no computer needed. One login, and the Plus plan covers both.
It captures every sale, tip, and raid live, names the buyer, and gives them a bin number the second they win, then hands you a ready-made manifest when 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? Auto-printing's in Plus →
You go through your video receipts, pairing every item number with the right buyer before you can start packing.
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.
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.
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 Live does the watching so you can do the selling.
No extra clicks during the show. No buttons to babysit. It just watches.
Every sale shows the buyer's @handle and first name. Thank Jackie by name instead of @m_buyer_88.

Each auction sale gets a photo of the item from that auction. When a buyer DMs "is that the navy one?", click the card — instant proof, no digging through video receipts.
Every tip and every raid becomes its own card, so you never miss a thank-you.
One click ends the show and hands you a printable manifest PDF — every buyer, every bin, every item, totals. Plus sheets of numbered bin labels (BIN 01, BIN 02…) to print ahead of the show on any printer (or thermal, if you have one).
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?”
Lite already gives you bin numbers as you sell, a manifest and printable bin-label sheets. Step up to Plus for Backstage Print — every sale auto-prints its own thermal label the second it lands. No PDFs, no clicking print, no manual labeling — you just keep selling.

No. Backstage Live gives each buyer a bin number as they win, and hands you a manifest and numbered bin-label sheets you can print on any printer you already own, so you label your bins by hand. When you want it hands-free, step up to Plus — it includes Backstage Print, so every sale auto-prints its own label.

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