What is Bidstation?

Bidstation is an innovative point of sale solution tailored specifically for enhancing the experience of traditional silent auctions that usually depend on paper bid sheets. By incorporating Square payments, Bidstation integrates effortlessly with your organization's existing USD Square account. The app captures attendee credit card information securely during the check-in process, allowing for a swift and hassle-free checkout experience without delays. You have the ability to charge stored cards at your convenience, and for organizations without a Square account, establishing one is a simple and free process that can be completed in just a few minutes. Since all transactions are processed through Square, you can trust that PCI compliance is upheld. The system streamlines guest check-ins, stores credit card information, enters bids, and processes payments, while also sending email receipts—creating a cohesive platform that eliminates long lines and enriches the attendee experience. Bidstation works with any Android or iOS device compatible with Square, as well as Windows computers, and is specifically tailored for US dollar Square accounts, making it an advantageous option for various organizations. Additionally, this versatility fosters a more engaging and efficient auction atmosphere, significantly boosting the likelihood of higher bids and increased participation levels among attendees. Overall, Bidstation not only simplifies the auction process but also elevates the overall fundraising event experience for everyone involved.

What is Bid Beacon?

Advanced bidding options like proxy and max bidding, plus features for live item promotion, raffle integration, and fundraising goals, keep events engaging. Payments, receipts, and tax collection are all built in, ensuring every auction runs seamlessly from start to finish.
