Pro tips & advanced features
Master these features to maximize your Whatnot workflow efficiency.
Bless the Chat
For 'Buy It Now' listings, check the "Bless the Chat" checkbox and add a note. The Whatnot listing will show "Blessing the chat with [your note]" while Copyt keeps the actual product name for proper reporting.
Example: "Blessing the chat with exclusive kicks" appears on Whatnot, but "Jordan 1 Chicago" stays in your Copyt records.
Grouping Items
Whatnot groups items by Internal SKU. To bulk list multiple quantities of the same variant as one listing, enable the "Uniform" toggle when adding items.
Note: Only variants with identical Brand, Name, SKU, Size, Buy Price, List Price, and Location can share the same Internal SKU.
Sub Locations
Tag items with specific warehouse locations (e.g., "A3" for Section A, Shelf 3). When you export to Whatnot, the listing description includes "(Staff Note: A3)" so it appears on packing slips.
Benefit: Makes fulfillment faster—your team knows exactly where to find each item.
Automatic Analytics
After reconciliation, Copyt automatically calculates profit/loss per stream, updates your financial dashboard, and tracks which items perform best on Whatnot.
View stream performance, compare profits over time, and identify your top-selling products—all without manual data entry.
