Start here if you already use your phone for product photography and want the fastest way to capture, edit, and list products in Dropstitch.
Before you start
The Dropstitch mobile app is currently available on iPhone:
Android version coming soon.
Install the Dropstitch mobile app on your iPhone.
Use your existing Dropstitch account login.
Prepare one test item so you can run the full flow once.
Keep a tape measure or your usual measurement tool nearby.
Measure items directly in the app, then review details before send.
How it works
The Dropstitch mobile app is built for one clean first-value path:
capture the product
measure it while it is still in front of you
review or edit the product in the List tab
submit listings to Shopify, eBay, Vinted, Depop, or Grailed
check inventory, sold items, listing activity, and Analytics from the app
You can also upload images from your phone gallery in the app.
Best fit
Use the app when your phone is already the camera in your resale workflow.
For photography, the app is preferred over the mobile browser because it is more integrated with the on-device camera and keeps the workflow simpler.
If your team works from a studio setup and processes larger folders, desktop folder upload is the better starting point.
Editing products
The List tab lets you open a product by tapping it.
From there, you can edit the same listing information that is available from the List page on the website.
Optional details
The optional details form can be customized later.
Your first setup does not need to capture every possible field.
Start with manual details that are useful during intake.
Let Dropstitch fill AI-powered Attributes after generation.
For custom Attributes, use Form visibility on desktop to decide where a field can appear:
Form visibility option | Where the field can appear |
Native app listing form | Dropstitch mobile app |
Desktop Capture form | Capture form on the website |
Both | Mobile app and desktop Capture |
Marketplace behavior
Shopify and eBay can publish directly from the app.
For Vinted, Depop, and Grailed, keep the Dropstitch web app open in desktop Chrome with the extension active.
For those channels, keep Dropstitch open in desktop Chrome, keep the extension active, and stay signed in until the listing finishes.
Analytics on mobile
Analytics are also available in the Dropstitch mobile app.
The mobile Analytics view shows the same information as Analytics on the website, including performance by category, product type, brand, listing value, turnover, and sell-through rate.
Use it when you are sourcing and want to quickly check whether a bale, bag, or individual item is likely to give a good return.
How to use it
Open the Dropstitch mobile app on your iPhone.
Sign in with your Dropstitch account.
Start with one product.
Choose whether you want to capture 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.
Review and adjust 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 if you want them captured at the same time.
Your form can be customized to show 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.
Submit the listing to Shopify, eBay, Vinted, Depop, or Grailed. For Vinted, Depop, or Grailed, keep Dropstitch open in desktop Chrome until the listing finishes.
Use Stockroom, Sold, and Activity Feed to check the result.
Open Analytics when you want to check performance, sell-through, turnover, or listing value from your phone.
Success check
You can sign in successfully.
Your first product is captured and editable in the List tab.
Shopify or eBay can publish directly from the app when connected.
Vinted, Depop, or Grailed listings complete after Dropstitch is open in desktop Chrome, the extension is active, and the marketplace is signed in.
You can check status in Stockroom, Sold, or Activity Feed.
You can open Analytics in the app and review the same performance information as on the website.
Tips
Recommended approach: run one fast first-publish loop first so you validate
Photos in -> listings outbefore scaling up.Finish one item before you move to the next one. That keeps the workflow cleaner later.
Use defaults first, then tune details after your first product is safely in the listing workflow.
If your team splits photography and listing review across different people, use the app as the capture-and-handoff step.
Prefer the app over the mobile browser for photography.
For the simplest first mobile publish, test Shopify or eBay before Vinted, Depop, or Grailed.
Keep Dropstitch open in desktop Chrome for Vinted, Depop, and Grailed until the listings finish.
Use Analytics during sourcing if you want a quick on-the-move performance check before buying.
Capture measurements during intake so listing review starts with complete product details.
Optional customization path: if you need stricter output from day one, customize the optional details form.
Capture the most important manual fields consistently during intake.
Add tighter listing rules on desktop.
This path is slower, but it can reduce later edits for teams with strict requirements.
Troubleshooting
I cannot find the Android app: Android version coming soon.I mainly process large studio folders: start with desktop folder upload instead.Vinted, Depop, or Grailed does not publish right away: open the Dropstitch web app in desktop Chrome with the extension active and confirm the marketplace session is still logged in.I am using the mobile browser instead: use the app for photography. The browser can still initiate some other actions, but the app is the preferred capture workflow.
