Someone holds up a box and asks what you would take for it. Now you know before you answer.

Product Finder is live product research built for people whose hands are full and whose show does not pause. Priced comparables from five sources, a phone in a helper's hand scanning barcodes for you, and a one-tap way to put what they found on screen for the room to see.

How a lookup actually happens

  1. The Room opens with your show

    Product Finder runs inside a Room tied to the show you are broadcasting. You do not create it, schedule it, or remember to close it. It opens with the show and it ends with the show.

  2. You hand a helper a link, or a QR code

    Your partner, your kid, whoever is standing next to the boxes. They open it on their phone and they are in. No account, no password, no app to install, nothing to set up while you are already on air.

  3. They point the phone at a barcode

    The camera reads it and the search runs. If there is no barcode, they type a name instead. Either way the work happens on their phone and not on your hands.

  4. Priced comparables come back

    Real prices from five sources, each labelled with which one answered, so you can tell a card price from a sneaker price from a retro game price at a glance.

  5. The find lands in your inbox

    It arrives as a card with the price as the biggest thing on it, and who found it. Low-value junk arrives dimmed, so it dies in half a second instead of taking your attention.

  6. One tap puts it on screen

    Hit Air and the product goes up on your public display for the room to look at while you talk about it. What is on air is stored properly, so a viewer who joins late or reconnects still sees it.

Five priced sources, in one search

Live sellers do not sell one category. A single box can hold a graded card, a pair of sneakers, a sealed retro game, and something you can only price by finding what it sold for last week. One generic price lookup handles none of that well. Product Finder queries the sources that actually know each market and tells you which one answered.

Amazon

General retail and current catalogue pricing, for everything that has a UPC and a shelf somewhere.

TCGplayer

Trading cards, priced by the market that actually trades them rather than by a general marketplace guess.

StockX

Sneakers and streetwear, where condition and colourway move the number more than the title does.

PriceCharting

Retro games and collectibles, including the sealed-versus-loose distinction that a general lookup will happily get wrong.

eBay sold comps

What the thing actually sold for, which is the only number that settles an argument about what something is worth.

Labelled by source

Every result carries a badge naming the provider it came from. You are never reading a price without knowing which market produced it.

Scanning with a phone camera

Typing a product name while holding the product is the slowest part of live selling. The scanner exists so nobody has to.

Reads the barcodes you actually meet

UPC-A and UPC-E, EAN-13 and EAN-8, plus Code 128, which is what warehouse and pallet labels are printed in. Retail packaging and liquidation lots both scan.

Straight into the same search

A decoded barcode is treated exactly as if someone had typed those digits. There is no separate barcode mode with its own worse results.

Built for a warehouse, not a desk

A flashlight toggle for a dim corner, and a keyboard fallback for a barcode that is scuffed, curved, or shrink-wrapped past reading.

It tells you when it cannot scan

If the camera cannot be read, the scanner says so and offers the keyboard instead of spinning forever pretending to look. A tool that fails invisibly during a live show is worse than one that does not exist.

The Room, and the person helping you

Most live-selling tools assume one person at one computer. Real shows have someone else in the room holding the next box. The Room is built for that second person.

They join from a QR code

You show a QR code or send a link. They scan it and they are in the Room, on their own phone, already able to help.

No account for your helper

Your helper never creates an account, never picks a password, and never gets access to your seller account. The link itself is what lets them in, and only to the Room.

Access ends when the show ends

The Room closes with your broadcast and every helper link stops working at the same moment. You do not have to remember to revoke anything, because there is nothing left to revoke.

You stay in control

A helper can research and suggest. Putting something on screen is your decision, on your tap. They fill the queue; you choose what the room sees.

The suggestion inbox

A helper firing findings at you is only useful if the findings arrive in a form you can read in one glance while talking. The inbox is designed around that constraint.

The price is the biggest thing on the card

Not the title, not the thumbnail, not the source. You are reading this mid-sentence, so the number you need is the number you see first.

You can see who found it

Every card is attributed to the helper who sent it, which matters the moment more than one person is helping.

Junk arrives already dimmed

Low-value finds come in visually muted with a marker, so worthless results cost you a fraction of a second instead of a real look.

Aired items sort to the top

What you have already shown moves up and is marked as on display, so you never air the same thing twice by accident.

Putting it on screen for the room

Research the audience cannot see is research that only helps you. Airing a product turns a private lookup into part of the show.

A public display for your audience

Your show gets a display page your viewers can open. When you air a product, that is what they see.

Late joiners see it too

What is currently on air is stored durably, not just broadcast once. Someone who joins ten minutes later, or whose phone drops and reconnects, still sees what is up right now.

On air and off air are both real states

You can take something down and keep the Room open. The display does not have to be showing something just because it is switched on.

While you host, inside the extension

You should not have to leave the show to use any of this. The finder lives in the extension panel on the same screen as your sales numbers and your chat.

A permanent dock, not a thing you open

The finder sits in the panel by default. The moment you need to look something up is never a moment you have a spare hand to go and find a tool.

Search, detail, and price history in the panel

Run a search, open a result, and see what the item has been worth over time, without a browser tab and without losing your place in the show.

Your helper feeds the same panel

Suggestions from a phone in the next room arrive in the extension you are already looking at. One surface, two people.

Lookups remaining, shown before you run out

Your remaining research quota is visible in the panel, so you learn about a limit while you can still plan around it rather than when a search fails.

Common questions

Does my helper need a LiveStreamPro account?

No. They open the link or scan the QR code and they are in. There is no signup, no password, and no access to your seller account. The link only lets them into the Room.

What barcodes can it read?

UPC-A, UPC-E, EAN-13, EAN-8, and Code 128. That covers ordinary retail packaging as well as the warehouse and pallet labels you get on liquidation lots. If a barcode will not read, there is a keyboard fallback.

Do I need a second person to use Product Finder?

No. Search, product detail, and price history all work on your own from the extension panel. The Room and the phone co-pilot are there for when you do have help, not a requirement for when you do not.

What happens to the Room when my show ends?

It closes, and every helper link stops working at the same moment. You never have to remember to revoke access, because the show ending is what revokes it.

Can my helper put things on screen without me?

No, and that is deliberate. Helpers research and suggest. Deciding what your audience sees stays with you, on your tap.

Does the price lookup work inside the Whatnot page?

Yes. The finder is docked in the extension panel alongside your live sales figures and chat, so a lookup never means leaving your show.
