Auction>First-Bid Form. You can now ask bidders questions when they place their first bid in an auction.

In the admin panel, under the Configurations menu is a new page called, 'Registration Questions'. Here you can add/edit/delete your custom Questions.

When you click Add, to create a new Question, there are multiple 'Types' of questions you can add - Radio Button, Text Input Box, Multiple Choice Checkbox, and Single Checkbox.

For example, if you want to pose a Question and allow for a custom answer that the Bidder types in, select the 'Text Input Box' option.

If you want to ask how your bidders want to Pay for their purchases, use the 'Drop Down' or 'Radio Button' Types, and use the 'Add Options' button to add the Answers that the bidders can choose from.

Once you've added your custom Questions from the Configurations>Registration Questions page, navigate to your Auction Dashboard in your admin panel (click on the Auction Title) and you'll now see a new Tab called, 'First-Bid Form'.

In the screenshot above, this is where you'll Add the custom Questions and can optionally mark them as Required - meaning the bidders cannot continue until they answer the Quesion(s).

On the public auction page, when the bidder places their first bid in the event, they will see a pop-up window with the list of questions you have added:


In the Admin panel, in the Auction Dashboard > Bidders tab, the admin can review the bidder answers by clicking on the drop down arrow to the left of the Bidder# in the first column as seen below. The admin can also click on the green colored, 'Export' button on this Bidders tab to download the data to an Excel file.
