Running an Auction is Hard

Catalogue, bid sheets, the room, the money afterwards. All of it lands on a handful of volunteers who would rather be talking to your donors.

With Shiftt You Hardly Have to Run it.

One night or five days, in the room or online. You bring the lots and the guests. We bring everything else.

Mobile First.

Your guests point a camera at the QR code and land straight in the catalogue, ready to bid. It runs in their browser, so the whole sign-up is that one scan.

Bidding in a Second.

Every lot in their hand, with photos, description, the current bid and the next valid bid already filled in. Get outbid and they know instantly, which is where the bidding war starts.

See The Bids Live.

That bid is up on the wall before they have put the phone down. Every lot, every bid, all night.

Setup Catalogue built, branded and tested before the doors open.
Support A Shiftt specialist on site for the main event.
Monitoring Every bid watched for as long as bidding stays open.
Payments Winners checked out, and stragglers chased afterwards.

What to expect

Easy Bidding

A silent auction goes quiet when nobody knows they have been outbid. Every guest learns the moment they lose a lot, with the next bid one tap away. Your best lots stop settling at the first number.

Admin, Handled

Catalogue built, every lot loaded, payments configured and tested before your doors open. We run it on the night and chase the money afterwards. You send us the lots and the date.

Supported, Throughout

Somebody always ends up behind a laptop while the event happens around them. A Shiftt specialist is in the room for the whole thing, watching every bid. You spend it with your donors.

Questions

Your lots and your event details. We build the catalogue, load every lot with its photos and description, set up the bidding, configure the payments and run everything on the day.
They scan a QR code or tap a link, and sign up in one step. Everything runs in the web browser already on their phone, so that one scan is the whole sign-up.
Yes. A one-night gala and a week-long exhibition use the same setup. Painting Progress ran over 100 lots across five days in London, with guests bidding in the room and online at the same time.
A Shiftt specialist is on site for the main event, sets everything up and handles anything that comes up live. You get the same person for the whole event. For auctions that run over several days we monitor them remotely for the rest of the time and stay reachable throughout.
We chase them after the event until the payment settles, and that chasing is included in the fee. Your volunteers get their week back.
Yes. Your logo, your colours and your own web address. Guests see your charity all evening, and Shiftt stays quietly in the background.
Winners check out through Stripe and the funds settle directly into your account. We handle the setup. Stripe's own processing fees are the only deduction, and our fee is fixed whatever the auction raises.

Tell us your date.

One night or five days, Jersey or the mainland. No commitment until you are ready.
