We used Rally Up this year for our silent auction and it worked extremely well if you want a platform to compare to.

I would love to see this feature on Givebutter. We currently use Accelevents and are doing more auctions post-covid than standard fundraising campaigns. Accelevents is good in many many ways. The developers are responsive and fast. But, it's not connected to our CRM and it is UGLY. There are definitely some hiccups which I've heard is true of all the auction website options. Can't wait to see what you all decide.

[Request for Feedback] - Hi everyone, I am excited to share that we are actively exploring the viability of adding virtual auctions to the Givebutter platform. Auctions have quickly become our most requested feature set of all time, with over 90 upvotes in the past year! We value your feedback tremendously, which is why we would love your input as we consider what Givebutter Auctions might look like.
AUCTIONS SURVEY: https://forms.gle/nMidTr2RryU8t8N26
The survey linked above is very comprehensive, but shouldn't take more than 15 minutes to complete.
Any and all feedback is appreciated
as most questions are optional by design. There is also an opportunity at the end of the survey to indicate whether you'd like to be a Beta tester, which is a perk typically reserved for Pro customers. 🙂Thanks so much, and we can't wait to hear what you think!

Hi, what is the status of this feature? We are running a tricky tray and looking for options to allow virtual attendees to purchase tickets and put them in a basket to bid on.
