Whatnot Support Whatnot Support

Show Notes are an easy way to share important details with viewers during your show. You can use them to highlight things like:

  • Rules for your selling format (like a break)

  • Information about giveaways

  • Details about special items you’re auctioning

  • Fun or personal info about you or your show

You can add, edit, or remove Show Notes before your show starts or while you're live, right from the Whatnot app and whatnot.com
