Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about running successful online auctions.
How long should my online auction run?
Most successful online auctions run for 1-2 weeks. This gives donors enough time to browse items and place bids, while creating a sense of urgency. You can also run shorter 'flash' auctions for 3-5 days to create excitement.
Can I run an online auction alongside an in-person event?
Hybrid auctions are incredibly effective. You can start the online bidding days before your in-person event and continue it during the event, allowing both in-person and remote supporters to participate.
How do winners receive their items after an online auction?
You can set up multiple fulfillment options including in-person pickup, shipping, or electronic delivery for digital items. Our platform helps you manage the entire fulfillment process.
What types of payment methods can donors use?
Our platform supports all major credit cards, digital wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay, and ACH bank transfers. You can choose which payment methods to accept for your auction.

Our platform includes built-in promotional tools like email campaigns, social media sharing, and QR codes. We also provide best practices and templates to help you effectively market your auction.
