An Integrated Solution
We know the challenges of putting on a successful fundraiser through our own experiences as well as from attending other events. That knowledge has been used to create hibid. No need to track the details using different systems, spreadsheets, or other documents. Your data is always available to you - even after the event is complete.
From Online Auctions ...
You don't need a location. We cover everything from registration to bidding to checkout.
To Galas ...
From online ticket sales to bid sheets to interactive slideshows to online guest access to self-serve checkout. Plus cash donation and other revenue tracking and integration. Plus tax receipts. And more ...
And Everything In Between
Give your guests access to follow the auctions on their phone. Optionally allow bidding - even when bid sheets are present. Or open bidding early and switch to bid sheets during the event. A great option for golf tournaments.
Our Fees
The core of hibid is accessible without a fee. That means you can enter items, create bid sheets, track guests, run a slideshow, record cash donations, create an event page, offer online bidding, create tax receipts, run reports, enter payments, export your data, and more - all for no charge.
The only thing we charge for is processing online credit card payments in real time*.
*If you want to allow your guests to pay online for tickets, cash donations, or use the self-serve checkout we charge a 1% fee on top of the fee charged by the credit card processor. You have the option of adding our fee to the amount owing. Credit card payments are processed through Stripe. The money is deposited directly to your account, minus the fees. We do not store credit card information.
What They're Saying
"With COVID-19 hindering our fundraising efforts this year, we had to turn to an online platform, when we came across this website and thought why not give it a try? We gave it a try and it was super easy to use to our surprise. The reports offered are amazing to work with. We will definitely use this platform again and have shared the platform with other local groups in our area. Thank you so much for creating this platform!" - Wasaga Beach Women in Business Association
"We get inundated with calls and emails from events management businesses but Hibid provides the tools we need to manage our large and small fundraisers. Matt works hard to ensure we have the tools we need to organize our registration, auction and payment needs. Shop local!" - Steven Seltzer, Our Place Society
