Every hand in the room.
In every pocket.
Silent, live and online charity auctions that raise more, because bidding never has to stop, and paying never has to wait.
Raise more in the room. And in the three weeks around it.

Don’t source lots.
Choose them.
Every BID account includes our partner catalogue from JustDo: unique, money-can’t-buy lots at the best price we can find anywhere, with nothing to buy upfront. Pick them inside the CMS and they land in your auction with starting price, reserve and internal cost already filled in.

Everything an auction night needs.
Bid from any phone
No app, no downloads. Guests scan a code, enter a name and email, and they are bidding in under ten seconds.
Live countdown
A synchronised clock on every phone and every screen in the room, with instant outbid alerts.
Room displays
One URL drives every TV in the venue, with rotating lots, leaderboards and new-bid alerts as they happen.
Paid on the night
Card details captured at registration and charged the moment the hammer falls. No chasing invoices.
Lot management
Photos, descriptions, starting price, reserve and internal cost price, with margin never shown to guests.
Built for trust
Every bid timestamped and auditable, with role-based access for your fundraising team.
Event microsite
A beautiful public page for your evening, covering event info, running order, tickets, auction preview, travel, parking and local hotels. Hosted by us or on your own domain.
Ticketing built in
Sell singles, couples and whole tables from the same event. Table plans, capacity limits and a mobile booking page. £1 a ticket, nothing else.
Pricing
Free. 100%. Every time.
No contracts, no licence fees, no commission on what you raise. Every feature, every event, for nothing. The only cost is card processing: a flat 3% transaction fee if you use our payments, or connect your own Stripe, manage payments yourself, and pay us nothing at all.
