Silent Auctions

BetterUnite silent auction software takes a catalog from spreadsheet to sale floor: bulk CSV import with categories, terms, and delivery methods, unlimited items with photos and video, and bulk tools to reprice or restatus hundreds of items at once. A one-menu print center produces bid sheets with QR codes, item cards, certificates, and Word-merge winner letters.

Import the Whole Catalog at Once

  • Import items by CSV with categories, terms, and delivery method already attached
  • Keep Excel formatting and links, which carry straight into item descriptions
  • Upload images in bulk, assign them to items in bulk, and export every image as a zip

Merchandise Like a Pro

Unlimited items, each with photos and video, arranged into categories and bundles, with item-level access control and guest filters.

  • List unlimited items, each with multiple photos and video
  • Group items into categories and bundles, and control access item by item
  • Filter the catalog as a guest: favorites, no bids, purchased, and currently winning

The Print Center

One menu prints bid sheets with optional QR codes and custom bid rules, item description cards, certificates, and PDF assets.
