You can have multiple buyer accounts on Whatnot. How you switch between them depends on your device:
- iOS: Switch between accounts without logging out using the Account Switcher
- Android or web: Log out, then log back in to switch accounts
You can only have seller access on one account at a time unless you’ve been approved for more.

To qualify, you must meet all of the following:
- Lifetime sales over $100K (before fees) or more than 1,000 orders
- Hosted at least 10 Shows in the past 30 days

Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
Can I merge multiple accounts into one?
No. We don’t currently support merging accounts or transferring data.
Why don’t I see the Account Switcher in my profile?
It’s currently rolling out on iOS and isn’t available on Android yet. Make sure your app is up to date, and check back soon.
Does this allow someone to enter giveaways multiple times?
No. You must be present in the show when the giveaway happens. If you switch accounts on the same device, your previous account leaves the show and is removed from the giveaway. Multiple entries aren’t supported.
