June Product Roundup: What’s New in Givebutter 🧈
New Features
- View-Only Auctions & In-Person Only Items – Choose which auction items can be bid on online, which are reserved for live events, and which are view-only. Admins can still manually enter bids and declare winners—perfect for hybrid auctions.
- Offline Payments for Auction Items – Accept and record payments by cash, check, or in-kind for auction items directly in the dashboard and mobile app. All payment types are now tracked in your campaign totals.
- Campaign-Specific Access – Assign team members to pre-defined roles (Administrator, Finance, CRM Manager, Campaign Editor) and limit their access to specific campaigns.
- New Ticket Selector Design – The first screen in ticket checkout now features an all-new look with clearer ticket styling, separated descriptions, and a modern layout that’s easier to scan.
- Two-Factor Authentication on Mobile – Users can now enable 2FA via email or text for mobile logins. Once verified, login is remembered on that device unless explicitly logged out.
- Declare a Winner for Buy-Now Items – Easily assign winners manually for items with a Buy Now option, and choose how to collect payment—instantly, via email, or offline—right from the Givebutter dashboard or mobile app.
