Yes. Online auction features are perfect for virtual or hybrid events. Bidders can be imported in, or register themselves to participate. Bidding happens on a smartphone, where outbid notices are sent immediately via text with a link to re-bid. Winning bidders are also notified via text and can process the payment for their items themselves or organize an offline payment with the nonprofit.
Guests bid from any smartphone, tablet or computer, no app download required. They received a personalized link via text or email that takes them directly to your auction catalog. From there, they can browse items, place bids, set a maximum bid to auto-bid on their behalf, and receive instant outbid notifications via text so they never miss a chance to re-bid. The entire experience is designed to be fast and intuitive, even for guests who aren’t tech savvy.
Yes, ClickBid encourages this! You can open your auction items days or weeks before your event, giving guests time to browse items and start bidding before they even walk through the door. Pre-event bidding consistently increases final item values because it builds anticipation and competition early. On event night, bidding continues and you control exactly when the auction closes.
Adding items is straightforward; you can upload high-quality photos, write descriptions, set starting bids, minimum raise amounts, and buy-it-now prices for each item. ClickBid also partners with different vendors with hundreds of popular auction items that you can add directly to your event, with no risk! Items can be organized into categories so guests can filter and find what interests them quickly.
