How it works
Check in — your phone becomes your paddle
At the door you get a paddle number on your own phone, with your card securely on file. No paper, nothing to lose or drop.
The auctioneer calls a level
When a giving level or item is called, a button slides up on your phone. Hold your phone up like a paddle, or just tap — your choice.
One tap gives instantly
Tap to confirm and your gift goes in immediately and is charged on the spot — no missed bids, no waiting, no mix-ups. A receipt is emailed to you.
Why guests & organizers love it
- No missed bids — your tap registers instantly, even if a paddle or a voice is missed in a big room.
- Tied to you — bidding lives behind your private link and your card, so no one can grab a paper paddle and bid in your name.
- Pay instantly — gifts process right away; no chasing payments after the night.
- See & hear from anywhere — read what’s coming up and watch item videos from your seat, near or far from the stage.
- Built for everyone — larger text and on-phone audio help guests who don’t see or hear the stage well.
- Everything reconciles — every gift is tracked digitally for staff, with instant undo and a clean export.
