What it is
32auctions is web-based software for running silent auctions as fundraisers. Bidders can register and place bids from a phone, tablet, or computer without downloading an app. They can set a maximum bid for automatic bidding, and text or email alerts can report when they are outbid or win. A soft close extends an item's end time if a bid arrives near closing. When the auction ends, winners are identified and can pay online through checkout. Organizers may connect their own Stripe or PayPal account for payment collection and automatic invoicing. The service can export results, winners, payments, and fair-market values to CSV, and produce printable display and bid sheets with QR codes linked to online bidding. Its Free plan is free, billed at $0 per auction, and includes up to 20 items, one image per item, unlimited bidders, basic donor management, self-managed payments, standard styling, third-party ads, and email support. Paid plans are $170, paid once, $240, paid once, and $360, paid once.
