In honor of Hispanic Heritage Month, we’re proud to shine a spotlight on the exceptional Hispanic and Latin business owners who are making a meaningful impact within the Whatnot community.

We've updated our Community Guidelines to improve their organization and structure, making them easier for everyone to understand. What's new is a more navigable, accessible, and detailed presentation of these rules.

At Whatnot, our mission has always been to empower your business growth and foster community through commerce. Over the past year, we introduced Referral Codes alongside our existing Referral Links, offering more ways for you to share savings and attract new buyers to your shows.

Today, we’re unveiling a new initiative designed to further support sellers and encourage purchases: Whatnot Affiliates. This program allows you to earn commissions by sharing your favorite products or shows—whether your own or those from sellers you admire—with your friends and followers on other platforms.

Strong communities thrive when people feel safe, welcome, and comfortable inviting their friends and growing businesses together. Harassment undermines this sense of safety and belonging, discouraging participation and investment, which is why we have strict rules against it. 

We recognize that harassment can feel different for different people. What one person sees as customer feedback another might experience as an attack. That can be a tricky nuance when someone reports harassment to us. We have high standards for behavior, and also want people to engage in reasonable and valid criticism. We’re always trying to strike the right balance, and want to share our thinking that got us to our current approach.
