At the end of your show, you can start a raid, which sends you and your viewers directly to another seller’s live show. You can choose who to raid or let Whatnot pick a seller for you.

Raiding is a fun way to keep your audience engaged, support other sellers, and grow your community together.

## **Start a raid** 

When you start a raid, your viewers will see a notification letting them know a raid is about to begin. You and your viewers will then join the seller’s show you selected.

The seller you raid will see a public message in their chat announcing that you and your viewers have joined their show.

Start a raid only when you’re ready to wrap up your show. Raiding will automatically end your live stream.

4.  Tap **Raid Now**, then **Continue** to confirm
    

### **Raid from web** 

1.  From your show on [whatnot.com,](https://whatnot.com/) click **More ![](https://help.whatnot.com/hc/article_attachments/44442574660109)**  on the bottom right
    
2.  Select **Seller Tools**, then **Start Raid** \- this will automatically add `/raid @` to the chat
    
3.  Enter the username of a seller who’s currently live.
    
4.  Review the show details, then click **Raid Now** to confirm
    

**Tip:** You can also start a raid from the chat by typing `/raid @` and entering the seller’s username (for example, `/raid @whatnotuser`).

## **Receiving a raid**

When another seller raids your show, you’ll see a public message in your chat. 

For example: _yourfavoriteseller is raiding with a party of 1._

Sellers often thank the raiding seller and hype up the incoming crowd to help new viewers feel welcome.

## **Leave a raid**

As a viewer, you can opt out of a raid by leaving the show before the raid begins, or by leaving the raided show at any time.
