ItemIQ – Whatnot, eBay Live & closet

# ItemIQ – Whatnot, eBay Live & closet ItemIQ is the companion browser extension for ItemIQ Photo App teams selling on Whatnot, eBay Live, TikTok / TikTok Shop live surfaces, working from **Google Sheets** run lists, and using ItemIQ’s closet / catalog tools. Sign in with your ItemIQ org account to browse claimed inventory, see live-show context at a glance, optionally sync on-air SKU, viewer signals, and **Whatnot & eBay Live viewer chat** to ItemIQ Host View, and—when enabled—**highlight any visible SKU or lot text** on supported live pages or **click a SKU cell in Google Sheets** to push catalog images to a teammate’s **Pick Pack & Ship (PP&S) View** display—without juggling spreadsheets mid-stream. ## Who it’s for • Sellers and crew who already use ItemIQ’s mobile app and org-backed catalog • Show hosts who want pricing guidance on the live tab (cost, comps, **focused sell / commission tiers**) when the current lot maps to inventory • **Pack-and-ship crew** who need a dedicated, full-screen product image on a second monitor while hosts call lots on Whatnot, eBay Live, TikTok, or read SKUs from a shared Google Sheet • Operators who want optional Whatnot viewer telemetry forwarded to their ItemIQ backend for dashboards / Host View • Crew who post **room announcements** and **crew notes** on web Host View—and hosts who prefer those panels **collapsed** until needed ## Core features ### My Closet (in the extension popup) View ItemIQ claimed / closet items tied to your org: thumbnails, key fields, and quick actions consistent with ItemIQ’s workflow (sharing/copy helpers where enabled). Built for fast lookups between lots—not a replacement for the full ItemIQ app. ### Pick Pack & Ship (PP&S) — highlight → second screen When **Enable PP&S SKU highlight** is on in the popup, highlight text on supported **Whatnot**, **eBay Live**, or **TikTok / TikTok Shop** pages (including nested player frames where content scripts run), **type or paste a SKU into a visible search or text field** (press **Enter**, tab away, or pause typing), **click a cell** in **Google Sheets** (`docs.google.com/spreadsheets/…`), or use **ItemIQ catalog search** on itemiq.ai. The extension debounces selection/clicks/typing, extracts catalog-style SKU tokens when possible, and pushes through ItemIQ’s backend to the **PP&S device** you choose: • **Target device picker** — lists org teammates who have PP&S View open and listening; refresh when crew joins mid-shift • **Default PP&S device** — pin a teammate’s display so you don’t re-select every show • **Independent of Host View** — PP&S highlight works without turning on Whatnot live-stream tracking or the Host pricing strip • **Fast image delivery** — backend resolves full catalog image URLs for the SKU when inventory is linked; the web display can render from the pushed snapshot without waiting on a second catalog round-trip Open **Pick Pack & Ship View** on ItemIQ’s marketing site (dashboard tile) on the pack station monitor, sign in to the same org, and leave **Listen for extension** enabled so your station appears in the extension device list. ### Google Sheets (docs.google.com/spreadsheets) On open Google Sheets workbooks, **click any cell** that contains a SKU or lot identifier (or highlight text inside a cell). The extension reads the active cell from the formula bar or in-cell editor and sends it to your chosen PP&S device—the same backend SKU parsing as marketplace highlight. Useful for show run lists, pick queues, and crew sheets where SKUs live in columns rather than on a live player. ### Web PP&S View (browser) ItemIQ’s PP&S page is a viewport-locked, scroll-free display meant for warehouse monitors: • **Large hero image** — full-resolution catalog photos (not thumbnails), scaled to fit the screen • **In-hero loading and status** — spinner and messages stay in the image area (not lost under fixed nav) • **Multi-image gallery** — when a SKU has several catalog photos, vertical thumbnails on desktop and a horizontal strip on mobile; **hidden when only one image** exists • **Listen toggle** — crew can pause remote pushes without signing out • **Org-scoped remote channel** — only your ItemIQ organization’s pushes apply to your signed-in session ### Whatnot Live (whatnot.com live shows) When you enable tracking for Whatnot, the extension watches live event pages and reads public page DOM only—no hidden APIs or socket interception—to assemble a lightweight snapshot: • Best-effort viewer count when Whatnot exposes it in the UI • Show context: titles/headings, seller cues, and a durable listing-style item title when available • Catalog-oriented SKU hints: prefers Whatnot’s on-player title chrome (show-product-title) when pinned and parses catalog-style #… / labeled SKU patterns from visible title lines • **Live auction HUD (timer + bid)** — prefers Whatnot’s **`show-timer`** test id and **`Bid:`** strong lines, including cases where timer and bid sit in **adjacent columns** under a wider row (not trapped inside one chat listitem wrapper). That keeps countdown and **starting / current bid** copy aligned when the layout shifts mid-show • **Synthetic auction row when the winning strip hasn’t fired yet** — if the page shows **timer + Bid: …** but not `show-winning-status`, the extension still forwards an **`auction_status`** row so Host View isn’t silent between auction states • **Steadier HUD updates while live** — faster mutation debounce plus a bounded **auction HUD flush** cadence reduces “stuttering” countdowns caused by intermittent DOM/coalescing alone • **Viewer chat** (author, message, and visible avatar cues from the chat UI where available)—forwarded when your org’s Host View pipeline is configured, so **browser Host View** can show a live comment column for Whatnot shows as well as eBay Live (**each visible chat row** is sent so identical consecutive messages aren’t collapsed) • **Giveaway strip** — read…
