Integrate auctions into any fundraising event site such as galas, award dinners, brunches or luncheons. Create silent and live auction items or add fixed price items for purchase.

To set up auctions, follow the steps below:

Step 1: When you're ready to open bidding you can enable auctions through the site settings, and also set an end date in UTC time to close the bidding.

Add Auction Item Page Template and Auction Items List Modules

Step 2: In the Design section, you can set up the Auction Page template which is applied to each item and provides a place in which each item's unique information will live.

Under Core pages, select Auction Item Page >> Add Module >> Hero.

Any additional content modules can be added to the item page to provide additional details. The modules added to the Auction Item Page apply globally to all auction items.

Step 3: To showcase your auction items, select Homepage >> Add Module >> Auctions to add the listing to your homepage. Drag and drop your Homepage modules to create a custom layout.

Another option is to add the auction list to a connected site page. First create the static page, then connect the page to the site through the Navigation Bar and/or Footer modules.

Create the Auction Items

Step 1: Finally, add or import all the items through the Manage tab >> Auction >> Items >> Create.
