As we know, a mobile is an extremely personal item and by tying your event to your guest’s device, you create an experience of trust, encouraging more donations than ever.

Give your guests the experience of unrivalled accessibility to your event while you benefit from detailed mobile bidding reviews and analytics. This will help the event management of your auction or online fundraising event.

What is 'keep it FREE'?

‘keep it FREE!’ is Givergy’s new initiative that makes our platform 100% free to you, meaning 100% of money raised goes to your cause.

We enable this by inviting your donors to voluntarily contribute at checkout, which covers all platform fees and payment processing fees, ensuring all funds go directly to your good cause.

Bidding modes

You can choose the type of bidding mode for each item. If you are unsure which bidding mode fits best, our expert team is happy to advise.

Standard bidding

Gives guests the ability to bid on any item as many times as they like. Guests can remain anonymous if they choose, and use their ‘My Bids’ area to stay updated on progress.

Max bidding

Allows guests to place a maximum bid on a specific item. The system will then bid on their behalf, increasing by the pre-set bid increments each time they are outbid until it surpasses their maximum bid. They will then receive an out-bid notification to bid again.

Sealed bidding

Allows guests to enter anonymous bids without revealing what the top bid is. The highest bids win depending on the quantity of items set.
