Leaderboards that drive competition between guests

Friendly competition keeps momentum high.

Display top bidders, supporters or fundraising teams with new-activity pop-ups that encourage guests to raise their bids and gifts. A simple way to keep energy in the room and spotlight generosity.

Personal shopper for guests without a phone

Make it easy for every guest to take part, even without their own device.

Volunteer accounts let event staff place bids, purchases and donations on behalf of guests. Ideal for supporters who prefer a traditional experience while your event stays digital.

Text outbid alerts

At an event, guests do not check email. They check their phones.

With text notifications, guests receive:

  • Outbid alerts
  • Auction updates
  • Event messages

Texts keep guests engaged in real time, lifting bidding activity and the overall experience.

Checkout console that clears the room

End the night with a checkout that is quick and organized.

Results appear instantly, so there are no lineups and guests head home happy.

The checkout console lets staff search by guest name, item name or item number.

WE NEVER HOLD YOUR FUNDS

Paddle raise and fund a need tools
