Auctions
BetterUnite mobile bidding needs no app and no login. Guests tap a personal Magic Link from email or SMS and bid in their phone's browser in seconds. Max bids and auto bids do the work for them, SMS outbid alerts and a Bid Confirmed toast keep them in the race, and anti-snipe extensions keep last-second bidding wars open.
01
A personal link by email or SMS drops each guest straight into the bid screen, with their table, team, ticket type, and run of show one tap away.
02
Guests set a max bid and the system bids for them up to that limit, with a public bid history that separates manual bids from automatic ones.
03
An SMS goes out the moment a guest is outbid, the item card shakes and swaps its Highest Bidder tag, and every bid is confirmed on screen and by text.
04
Anti-snipe extensions push an item's close when a late bid lands, turning last-second snipes into open bidding wars.
05
Mobile bidding runs alongside the live auction, and a card preauthorized at registration turns checkout into one tap.
Yes, that is the core of BetterUnite mobile bidding. Guests tap a personal Magic Link from email or SMS and bid in their phone's browser in seconds. No app store, no account creation, no password.
An SMS outbid notification goes out immediately, and on screen the item card shakes and swaps the Highest Bidder tag. Every bid also gets a Bid Confirmed toast plus an SMS confirmation, so there is never doubt a bid registered.
Yes. Guests set a max bid and the system auto-bids for them up to that limit, and the public bid history distinguishes manual from automatic bids for transparency.
Anti-snipe extensions automatically extend an item's close when a late bid lands, turning last-second snipes into open bidding wars that raise more per item.
With card preauthorization at registration, winning bids charge in one tap, through guest self-checkout or staff bulk checkout, in the same cart as raffle tickets and donations.
