BiddingOwl.com overview

What is BiddingOwl.com?

BiddingOwl.com is nonprofit auction software and an all-in-one fundraising platform designed specifically for charities, schools, churches, clubs, foundations, and community organizations. BiddingOwl helps nonprofits easily plan, manage, and run silent auctions, online auctions, mobile bidding events, live auctions, gala events, and hybrid fundraisers.

Built specifically for nonprofit fundraising, BiddingOwl combines auction management, event management, bidding, ticketing, donations, and payment tools in one easy-to-use and affordable platform.

BiddingOwl supports online and mobile bidding, traditional silent auctions, live and in-person auctions, hybrid auctions, ticket sales, donations, Fund-A-Need campaigns, paddle raises, and paper bid sheets—giving organizations the flexibility to run fundraising events in the way that works best for their organization and supporters.

Bidders can browse auction items and place bids directly from a mobile-optimized web browser with no app download required.

BiddingOwl supports payment processing through both Stripe and PayPal integrations and also allows organizations to record cash and check payments, providing flexible payment options for online and in-person fundraising.

Organizations that integrate BiddingOwl with Stripe can also take advantage of secure credit card vaulting, allowing bidder payment methods to be securely stored on file for streamlined payment collection and checkout. Credit card vaulting is available exclusively through BiddingOwl's Stripe integration.

Organizations receive direct phone and email customer support to help them successfully manage their fundraising events.

BiddingOwl is an ideal auction and fundraising solution for nonprofits looking for affordable silent auction software, mobile bidding, online auction management, live auction tools, secure payment processing, Stripe-integrated credit card vaulting, and flexible fundraising tools in one platform.

Art Director

“It's easy to use and manage your auction, there are no fees up front, and you only pay for the online auction totals (NOT ticket sales or general donations) so that really helps your fundraising.”

Volunteer, Chair of Silent Auction Committee

Cons
“We had some users that had difficulty finding our auction on their mobile phone, finding that a search for BiddingOwl came up with legacy.biddingowl site instead of the new version that included our auction.”
LL

“Some of our bidders weren't sure that their bids went through.”

“I feel like by having to choose a category for each item, you run the risk that you will mis-categorize and lose a potential bidder.”
