How to Donate an Item To an Auction

Learn how to allow your bidders to donate & add items to your auction from their Handbid app

First, you must have 'Allow bidders to donate items' enabled.

This setting is found in Auction Settings > BIDDERS tab.

The donor of the item must register as a bidder for the event in order to donate an item. On the event site, the box below will populate on the OVERVIEW landing page, below the Event Details.

Click DONATE ITEM to complete the donation form. All fields are required!

PART 1: Donor Information. Here, you can provide who is donating the item, a business name (if applicable), a first and last name, and contact information.

PART 2: Item Details. List the item name, item description, pictures, terms and restrictions (if applicable), and the FMV (fair market value). The more information in this field you can provide the more likely the auction manager will accept this item into their auction. 


PART 3: Delivery Instructions. This is where you will let the auction manager know how they will receive the item. 

Once complete, click SUBMIT to send the item donation details to the auction manager.
