Run a silent auction
The auction is an add-on. If there is no Auction tab on your event, add it with Add features. It is a silent auction where guests bid from their phones.
How to run a silent auction
- Open Auction and choose Add item.
- Enter the title, description, category, a picture, who donated it, the starting bid and the minimum raise. Closes at sets when bidding ends on its own.
- Choose Open bidding on each item, or Open all.
Guests see the items on your public page and choose Bid. They give their name and email and confirm with a 6-digit code sent to them.
Bidding closes at each item's closing time, or choose Close auction to end it all at once. The highest bid on each item wins. Winners get an email with a Pay for your item button and pay by card. Request payment on an item copies a payment link you can send yourself.
For a bid taken in the room or on paper, use Record a winning bid from the item's menu. Use Mark paid (cash or check) when the winner pays you directly.
