Rehearsal Mode is a no-pressure way to get familiar with live selling on Whatnot. It lets you run a simulated show with practice bids and no real audience, so you can build confidence before going live.
How Rehearsal Mode works
In Rehearsal Mode, you can:
Follow a guided tour
Practice live selling with preloaded demo products
Try features like pinning items and running auctions with test buyers (not real accounts)
Build confidence before your live shows
Tip: Want to test with friends or team members? Schedule a private show instead.
Access Rehearsal Mode
Most sellers can access Rehearsal Mode from Seller Hub in the Whatnot mobile app.
Note: New sellers may not see Seller Hub or Rehearsal Mode until after their first live show. Complete your first show to unlock full access to these tools.
To open Rehearsal Mode:
Open the Whatnot app.
- Tap Seller Hub
at the bottom of the screen
- Open the menu
in the top right corner
Scroll down to Settings.
Tap Rehearsal Mode
.
Return to Rehearsal Mode anytime to practice as often as you need.
