Video Games on Whatnot: Export Your Shopify Inventory in Seconds
The video games market on Whatnot is booming, with gamers and collectors seeking rare titles, consoles, and memorabilia. If you're a Shopify seller with a video game store, you're missing out on a huge audience by not being on Whatnot. But manually transferring your inventory can take hours—that's where Shop2not comes in.
Why Video Game Sellers Choose Shop2not
Shop2not automatically exports your entire Shopify video game inventory to Whatnot-ready CSV format, preserving all the critical details that gamers demand: platform specifications, condition details, rarity information, and high-quality images.
The Video Game Market on Whatnot
Whatnot has become the premier destination for gamers and collectors. The platform's live auction format creates excitement and urgency that drives prices higher than traditional marketplaces. Sellers report 20-45% higher prices on Whatnot compared to other platforms, thanks to the engaging live experience and passionate gaming community.
However, the manual process of listing video games one by one is incredibly time-consuming. Each game requires:
- Platform and system specifications
- Condition assessments and completeness checks
- Rarity and limited edition verification
- High-quality images of case, manual, and discs
- Current market pricing research
- Proper categorization for search optimization
