Shipping settings control how shipping works for your live shows on Whatnot.
You can set your default shipping preferences in Seller Hub (in the Whatnot app), then adjust available shipping options for individual shows in the app or on whatnot.com.
Note: Some shipping settings are only available to certain sellers or regions. If you don’t see a setting in Seller Hub, it isn’t available to your account yet.

Even with default settings in place, the final shipping service for an order may vary based on:
The item’s weight or category

Any show-specific shipping overrides
Note: International shipping is automatically enabled for eligible buyers and can’t be turned off.
