Uploading a CSV file

Using Seller Hub

1. Go to whatnot.com/dashboard/inventory on your web browser.
2. Click the Upload CSV icon (it’s the one that looks like a cloud with an arrow in it).

3. Upload your CSV file and click Import.

4. Once the products are created, update the drafts and then either add to a show or publish across Whatnot!

Note: Your products must contain images to use the Seller Hub CSV upload. If your products don’t have images, please follow the instructions for In a Show.

FAQ

Are images required to use CSV Upload?

No, images are not required - you can upload CSV files without image URLs, and they will result in draft listings. However, in order to publish products from Seller Hub they will need to have images - you can always add them later to your draft listings.

On the other hand, uploading a CSV in a show never requires images.

Can I use CSV Upload to publish across Whatnot (rather than just in upcoming shows)?

Yes, you can use Seller Hub’s CSV Upload to publish across Whatnot as well as add products to specific upcoming shows.

Can I add other attributes to my products?

If you are uploading Coins & Bullion products, you can add certain attributes with the CSV template. More attributes and fields will be added in the future, so please check back regularly.

My image URLs aren’t loading; what can I do?

Image URLs must be publicly accessible on the internet, they can’t be password protected or only available on your local computer. An easy way to check is to paste one of your image URLs into an Incognito or Private Mode browser session and make sure you can see it.  Examples of image services sellers have used are: ImgBB, Imgur, and WeTransfer.
