If you have an existing list of bidders or participants you'd like to add to your auction, you can easily do so directly from your auctions page.
Below, we'll show you how to add that list in, so your bidders can login and start bidding on items seamlessly as soon as your auction is set to go "live"!
Step 1: Download a copy of our import template.
We've created a helpful template that you can use to easily add your bidder's information.
Simply enter the data in the designated columns, then save a copy of that completed file for use in the next steps in this process.
Step 2: Click on "Settings" within your Auctions page.
Once you've saved that file, you'll want to navigate to the auction that you're trying to add these bidders to, and locate the "Settings" button in the blue navigation bar.
You'll then want to select "Imports" from the drop-down menu options.
Step 3: Use the self-import tool to upload your data.
Once you click on that "Imports" button, you should be redirected to the "Imports" tab for your auction. On this screen, you can click the "Begin Your Import" button to walk through the process of adding this information to your auction.
Step 4 (optional): Encourage additional attendees not included in the import to directly sign themselves up.
We do strongly recommend that nonprofits encourage their donors to sign themselves up for your auction. A good way to do this is to publish the public link to your auction in advance to your auction or event’s attendees – as well as add it to your Events page, if you’re running the two together!
