How To Sync Inventory Between ConsignR and Whatnot

Updated over a week ago

What is This?

ConsignR can export the inventory you choose to a CSV file formatted specifically for Whatnot's online Seller Hub dashboard.

Exports for Whatnot function exactly the same as standard inventory exports. This means that any filters you set on the inventory page will determine the items that get exported.

When using the Whatnot export, the CSV is formatted specifically for import into Whatnot's Seller Hub. This will eliminate the time spent preparing your listings pre-show as the inventory data exported from ConsignR will be up to date.

Please note this is not a real-time API integration. If you could make use of a full integration, please ask Whatnot to email us back.
