Run an Online Auction That’s Easier to Manage and Easier to Join

Online auctions give nonprofits the opportunity to reach supporters beyond the walls of an event.

ClickBid helps your team manage the entire online auction experience in one place. Upload auction items, build a digital catalog, open bidding, send real-time alerts, track activity, collect payments, and review results without juggling disconnected tools.

For supporters, participating is just as simple. They can browse items, place bids, set max bids, receive outbid notifications, and check out securely from their phone, tablet, or computer.

Our Online Auction Software Features

Give your team the tools to manage your auction efficiently while creating a simple, engaging experience for supporters.

Make Winning Easy

with Self-Checkout

Give winning bidders a fast, secure way to complete their purchase without waiting in a checkout line. Supporters can pay directly from their own devices using credit or debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and other available payment methods.

Turn Donated Items

Into Must Have Packages

Bundle multiple auction items into one biddable package to create more compelling offerings for supporters. ClickBid automatically combines fair market values, descriptions, and other item details to make managing online auction packages easier.

Build Buzz

Before Bidding Begins

Give supporters an early look at your online auction items before bidding opens. Pre-event previews help build excitement, give guests more time to explore your catalog, and encourage participation once your nonprofit auction goes live.

Let Max Bidding Keep

Supporters in Action

Allow supporters to enter the highest amount they are willing to bid and let ClickBid automatically bid on their behalf up to that limit. Max bidding makes participating easier while helping bidders stay competitive throughout your online auction.

Create Urgency

With a Live Countdown

Show supporters exactly how much time remains before your online auction closes. A visible countdown clock adds urgency and encourages last-minute bidding as your fundraiser approaches the finish.

Keep Bidders Engaged

In Real Time

Keep supporters connected to your nonprofit auction with instant updates as bidding activity happens. Real-time notifications help bidders stay informed, react quickly, and return to the auction when there is another opportunity to bid.

Built for In-Person, Online, and Hybrid Auctions

Whether supporters are across the room or across the country, ClickBid gives them an easy way to participate.

FOR FULLY ONLINE AUCTIONS,

supporters can browse items, bid remotely, receive updates, and complete checkout without attending an in-person event.
