Weekly Bundling lets shoppers combine multiple purchases from you into one shipment each week. Both you and the shopper must have Weekly Bundling turned on.
It’s available to sellers in Australia, Austria, Canada, Germany, Japan, the Netherlands, and the UK. It's available to buyers globally, except in France and Belgium.

How Weekly Bundling works
When you and a shopper both have Weekly Bundling turned on, their eligible purchases from you are grouped into one shipment.
- Included purchases: Purchases made during shows, through the marketplace outside a show, and with Buy It Now.
- Weekly cutoff: Bundles close at midnight at the end of Sunday, in your local time. Purchases made after the cutoff go into the following week’s bundle.
- Shipping deadline: You have two business days to ship. The shipping window starts when the bundle closes, rather than when each purchase is made. Bundles that close on Sunday must be shipped by the end of Tuesday.
- Closing a bundle early: Generating a shipping label immediately closes the bundle. Any additional eligible purchases from that shopper start a new bundle.
- Other orders: Orders from shoppers who aren’t using Weekly Bundling must still be shipped within two business days of the order.
Turn on Weekly Bundling
Weekly Bundling is an account-level setting. Once enabled, it applies to eligible purchases across your in-show and out-of-show orders.
- On whatnot.com, open Shipments in Seller Hub.
- Open the sidebar and scroll to Weekly Bundling.
- Turn on Weekly Bundling.
Shoppers must also turn on Weekly Bundling for their purchases to be bundled.
Manage and ship Weekly Bundles
After each show
Ship standard orders as usual and set aside purchases in open Weekly Bundles.
- Open Shipments in Seller Hub.
- Generate shipping labels for your standard orders. Skip open Weekly Bundles.
- Store purchases in open Weekly Bundles securely until you’re ready to ship them.
Don’t generate a label for an open Weekly Bundle unless you’re ready to close and ship it.
After bundles close
Bundles automatically close at midnight at the end of Sunday, in your local time. Ship those bundles within two business days, by the end of Tuesday.
1. Find closed bundles
- Open Shipments in Seller Hub.
- Select All Shows & Marketplace.
- Select the Only Show Weekly Bundles filter.
- Select Needs Label to find closed bundles that need a shipping label.
The Weekly Bundles view includes both open and closed bundles. Closed bundles appear in orange.
2. Generate labels
Select your closed bundles, then generate shipping labels in bulk. Packing slips are generated with the labels.
We recommend generating labels on Monday morning before you start selling again. This helps you distinguish the previous week’s closed bundles from new, open bundles.
3. Ship bundles
Pack each bundle securely, then drop it off with the carrier or arrange a pickup.
When your earnings become available
Your earnings start processing after delivery is confirmed. If you have Early Payout, they start processing when you generate the shipping label, which also closes the Weekly Bundle.
Once your earnings are available, you can request a payout.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
What happens if a buyer turns on Weekly Bundling after making a purchase?
If they make another purchase during the same show after turning on Weekly Bundling, all purchases from that show will be bundled.
If they don’t make another purchase during that show, their first purchase won’t be included. Purchases from subsequent shows will be bundled.
Does Weekly Bundling mean free shipping after the first order or giveaway win?
Not necessarily. Additional shipping charges may apply if purchases move the shipment into a higher weight class.
For example, if additional purchases increase the shipment from 500g to 1kg, the buyer will pay the difference in shipping cost.
What happens if a buyer changes their shipping address?
Purchases made using the new address will start a new bundle. Earlier purchases will still be shipped to the original address.
I turned on Weekly Bundling, but buyers can’t use it. What should I check?
Make sure you turned on Weekly Bundling for your seller account, not only as a buyer.
What happens if I generate a label before the bundle closes?
Generating a label closes the Weekly Bundle. You should ship it within two business days.
Any additional eligible purchases the buyer makes from you that week will start a new bundle, and their shipping charges will reset.
Where can buyers use Weekly Bundling?
Buyers can opt in to Weekly Bundling in all countries except France and Belgium. Learn more about Weekly Bundling for buyers.
How is my ship time calculated for Weekly Bundles?
Your ship time is calculated from when the Weekly Bundle closes, not from the original purchase date.
Are marketplace purchases bundled with purchases from shows?
Yes. If you and the buyer both have Weekly Bundling turned on, eligible purchases made during the same week can be bundled together.
What happens if my show continues past midnight on Sunday?
Purchases made after midnight local time will be added to the following week’s bundle.
