To keep track of and manage the bids on your silent auction, you'll visit the Bids tab. Here, you can view the names and contact information for each bidder on all your items. You can sort by bidder characteristics and the item being bid on, and also send winning bid notifications and download your automated auction report, all from this page.

The Winning Bid Notification informs all the highest bidders that their bid has been successful. It will send them a direct link to pay through your Birdies website.

To edit or delete a bid, click on the three dots to the far right of the bidder/item:
