Bidding is easier than ever with Handbid
Before the event, guests use the Handbid app to buy tickets, register, add their credit card info, and even start bidding.
When bidding begins, guests get push notifications whenever they’re outbid, prompting higher bids.
Livestreams, a live thermometer, and leaderboards all keep your guests’ attention on the auction.
When bidding ends, winners receive automatic invoices and pay for items right from their devices.
Mobile bidding built for real-world event logistics
We know what you’re up against! Before building Handbid, our team ran fundraising events for our own nonprofit organization and learned what it takes to run a successful auction.
That’s why the Handbid mobile bidding experience accounts for everything that can (and does!) happen during an actual event.
Guests will love using the Handbid app at your auction because it makes everything easier and more enjoyable. Basically, they get more time to party while you get to raise a lot more money.
