The Dropstitch mobile app is the fastest way to capture, edit, and publish products from your phone when you already use an iPhone for product photography.
Before you start
The Dropstitch mobile app is currently available on iPhone:
Android version coming soon.
Use your existing Dropstitch login.
Measure items directly in the app, then review details before send.
How it works
The Dropstitch mobile app is built around one simple workflow:
shoot or upload photos
measure and add useful details
edit products in the List tab
publish directly to Shopify or eBay
submit to Vinted, Depop, or Grailed and keep desktop Chrome open until the listings finish
track inventory in Stockroom, Sold, Activity Feed, and Analytics
You can also upload images from your phone gallery in the app.
Marketplace behavior depends on the channel:
Channel | What happens |
Shopify and eBay | Publish directly from the app |
Vinted, Depop, and Grailed | Submit from the app, then keep Dropstitch open in desktop Chrome with the extension active and the marketplace signed in until the listing finishes |
Use this rule to choose the right photography workflow:
Workflow | Best for | What happens next |
Dropstitch mobile app | Sellers who already use their phone for product photography, solo sellers, small teams, and split-role teams where one person captures and another reviews | Capture or gallery upload in the app, measure, edit in List, then submit listings from mobile |
Remote Capture with the Dropstitch mobile app | Studio setups where you want to mount an iPhone on a tripod or overhead support and control photography from desktop | Connect the iPhone to the web app with a QR code, control the mounted camera from desktop, then send confirmed items to Product Buffer |
Desktop folder upload | Existing camera workflows, larger folders, and batches photographed outside Dropstitch | Photos are uploaded from desktop into the same Dropstitch workflow |
There is also a mobile browser version of Dropstitch.
For phone-based product photography and mobile listing work, use the app because it is more integrated with the device camera and gives you the native mobile workflow.
Desktop is still part of some workflows.
Use desktop for larger folder uploads, Remote Capture control, heavier grid work, and completing Vinted, Depop, or Grailed listings submitted from the mobile app.
The optional Add Details fields can be customized for your intake workflow.
The mobile Analytics view shows the same analytics information available on the website.
Use it to check performance by category, product type, brand, listing value, turnover, and sell-through rate from your phone.
That is useful during sourcing when you want to quickly judge whether a bale, bag, or individual item is likely to give a good return.
For custom Attributes, Form visibility controls whether the field can appear in the native app listing form, the desktop Capture form, or both.
AI-powered Attributes are not shown in this intake form because Dropstitch fills them after generation.
How to use it
Download the Dropstitch mobile app on iPhone.
Sign in with your Dropstitch account.
Choose whether you want to capture new photos in the app or upload images from your phone gallery.
If you capture in the app, use the overlay grid and choose the ratio that fits the item:
4:3,16:9, or1:1.Measure the item while you are photographing it, then review measurement details before send. If you want to capture without measurements, tap the ruler icon in camera view to turn measurement off.
Add optional details when useful. The form can include selected manual fields such as price, size, measurements, condition, SKU, barcode, weight, or other non-AI Attributes.
Open the product in the List tab when you need to edit listing information.
Publish to Shopify or eBay, or submit to Vinted, Depop, or Grailed and keep Dropstitch open in desktop Chrome until those listings finish.
Use Stockroom, Sold, and Activity Feed to check inventory, sold items, and listing activity.
Use Analytics when you want to check performance, sell-through, turnover, or listing value from your phone.
Success check
You can sign in to the app with your Dropstitch account.
The product is captured, measured, edited, and ready to list from the mobile workflow.
Shopify or eBay listings can publish directly from the app.
Vinted, Depop, or Grailed listings complete after Dropstitch is open in desktop Chrome, the extension is active, and the marketplace is signed in.
Sold items, listing activity, and Analytics are visible from the app.
Tips
Use the app when your phone is already part of your normal product photography routine.
Prefer the app over the mobile browser for photography. It is the cleaner capture workflow.
Use Remote Capture when you want to turn a mounted iPhone into a wireless tethered camera controlled from desktop.
Use desktop folder upload when you already photograph outside Dropstitch or need to process larger folders.
If one person captures products and another person reviews listings later, the app is a good handoff tool.
Keep the Dropstitch web app open in desktop Chrome for Vinted, Depop, and Grailed if you publish those channels from the app.
Use Analytics during sourcing when you want to compare category, product-type, brand, listing-value, turnover, or sell-through performance before buying.
Android version coming soon.
Capture measurements during intake so listing review starts with complete product details.
Customize the Add Details form when your team needs different manual fields during capture.
Troubleshooting
Vinted, Depop, or Grailed does not publish right away: keep Dropstitch open in desktop Chrome, keep the extension active, and stay signed in until the listing finishes.Shopify or eBay does not publish: confirm the marketplace is connected and required fields are complete before retrying.I process larger folders from a studio camera: use desktop folder upload instead of the app for that workflow.I am looking for Android: the iPhone app is live first. Android version coming soon.I am using the mobile browser camera: use the Dropstitch mobile app for photography instead. The app is more integrated with the device camera and is the preferred capture path.
Value reflection
Without the app, phone-based sellers still bounce between product photography, listing review, marketplace tabs, inventory checks, and performance checks.
The Dropstitch mobile app keeps capture, editing, publishing, Stockroom, Sold, Activity Feed, and Analytics access in one phone workflow, with desktop Chrome available when Vinted, Depop, or Grailed listings need to finish.
That gives one-of-one vintage teams a faster mobile path without losing shared Dropstitch tracking.
