How Nonprofit Auction Software Works
Easily Set Up Your Auctions
Organize all auction items, details, and descriptions within the AuctionSnap system and display them neatly through a custom URL.
Make Bidding Easier for Everyone
Guests can do everything from bidding on items to checking out right from their phones or computers. You can also reach a wider audience with the option for onsite and remote bidding in the same auction.
Raise More Money for Your Organization
Open your auction early to promote items before your event and build momentum for the big day. Guests see bids in real time encouraging more action and driving higher bids.
Fast, Painless Checkout
No long lines at the end of the night. Guests check out from their own phones the moment the auction closes, with secure payment already on file. Your team closes the books in minutes, not hours.
Run Silent and Live Auctions from One Platform
AuctionSnap handles silent auctions, live auctions, and fund-a-need appeals in a single system, whether your event is in person, fully virtual, or a mix of both. Set up item catalogs, starting bids, and bid increments in minutes, and let guests bid from any phone.
