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.

As we look ahead, I’d like to take a moment to reflect and thank you for the incredible journey over the past year, and give you an update on our key priorities: helping you grow your business and succeed, continuing to expand to new categories and communities to bring more people to Whatnot, and building products and craft policies to ensure a trustworthy buying experience for everyone.
