INFORMATION & PRICING
Whether it is a gala, a golf tournament dinner or a community fundraiser, GalaBid's paddle raise gives you fast, accurate processing for pledges and winning live auction bids
No guesswork, no delays
Paddle numbers can be assigned automatically or by hand, often together with GalaBid's event check-in.
Your team spends less time on logistics and more time with guests.
- Manual or automatic number assignment. Restrict assignment to guests with a payment method on file.
- Add paddle numbers to giving levels at speed. Spot errors instantly.
- Accurate records: every paddle raise gift is added to an invoice. Charge cards stored securely in Stripe, or prompt guests to pay themselves.
Smarter event check-in for your team
Check-in shows your staff, at a glance:
- Which guests have a payment method on file
- Who is ready to bid, buy or donate
- Each guest's account and payment status
Fewer bottlenecks at the door, and a team focused on guests and fundraising.
Built for in-person event success
If live giving is part of your program, paddle raise helps you:
- Capture pledges quickly and securely
- Cut manual entry and admin
- Give guests a smooth, confident experience
- Sync pledge data straight to invoices and reports
