HOW IT WORKS
501 Auctions makes it simple for charities to create their auction catalog, collect bids, and process payments for fundraising events. We do this by integrating our revolutionary mobile bidding system with an online catalog so each of your members can bid from any smartphone or computer. At the end of the night, all winning credit cards are charged with the click of a button, eliminating both your stress and the infamous checkout line.
