FAQ
Charity auction features, answered.
Common questions about what's included and how it works.
No. Bidders receive a single link and bid directly from their phone's browser. No app download required. This removes the biggest barrier to bidder participation and means more people actually place bids. Any phone, any browser, any event.
Everything. Mobile bidding, online and silent auctions, live event tools, hybrid auction support, tickets, tables, raffles, instant checkout, invoices, receipts, donor profiles, reporting, CSV exports, and free support. All included with every account. No feature tiers, no hidden add-ons.
Yes. In-room guests and online bidders compete for the same items in real time, all in one auction. You do not need to run two separate systems or manually reconcile bids. Hybrid bidding is built in and works the same way whether you have 50 guests in the room or 500 bidding from home.
Yes. Ticket sales, table management, guest check-in, raffle ticket sales (online and in-person), automatic entry tracking, and winner drawing are all included. Guest ticket purchases link directly to bidder accounts so checkout is seamless at the end of the night.
When a bidder is outbid, they receive an automatic alert by email or SMS with a direct link back to the item. This brings donors back at exactly the right moment, when they are most motivated to bid again, and keeps competition active until the final close time. Watchlists let bidders follow items they care about even before they place a bid.
When bidding closes, winners receive an automatic invoice on their phone. They pay directly from the link. No checkout line, no waiting. Receipts are sent automatically and your team gets a clean payment record for every winner. Unpaid invoices can be tracked and followed up from the admin dashboard.
