Bid Beacon Description
Bid Beacon streamlines the auction process for administrators while making it incredibly simple for guests to browse items and place bids. Users can access the platform via their mobile devices, allowing them to bid on items and receive notifications if they are outbid. For administrators, the system facilitates online payment collection, monitoring of item performance, and the ability to reconnect with previous participants for future events.
This level of accessibility not only enhances user engagement but also significantly increases fundraising potential.
Begin your journey with our NEW Ultimate Risk-Free auction, where you can explore all the features at no cost!

WinningBidder.com
WinningBidder.com offers free online auction software tailored for fundraising purposes. Our user-friendly software ensures that event organizers can initiate an auction within minutes, while maintaining a rich array of features. Bidders can take advantage of features such as maximum bidding, outbid alerts, and dynamic "popcorn" bidding.
Rather than requiring bidders to download an app, our approach involves sharing a personalized auction URL with supporters. This enables them to explore listed items and place bids using any device. The system operates at remarkable speed, making it particularly suitable for events held in areas with unreliable connectivity, such as charity golf outings.
For transaction processing, there's a fee of 2.9% plus 30 cents per transaction. Over 90% of winning bidders cover this fee during the checkout process. We rely on on voluntary tips from successful bidders.
WinningBidder.com imposes no restrictions on the quantity of items, bidders, or events, making WinningBidder.com the ideal solution for all your online auction requirements throughout the year.
