What it is

32auctions is web-based software for running online silent auctions as fundraisers. Bidders can register and bid from a phone, tablet, or computer without installing an app. Automatic text or email alerts can report outbids and wins; proxy bidding lets bidders set a ceiling for automatic bids. Soft close extends an item's end time when a bid arrives near closing. When the auction ends, the platform identifies winners and supports online checkout. Organizers can connect their own Stripe or PayPal account to collect payments and issue invoices automatically. CSV reports cover results, winners, payments, and fair-market values. The service also creates printable display and bid sheets with QR codes that lead to online bidding. Its Free plan costs nothing, billed at $0 per auction, and allows up to 20 items, one image per item, and unlimited bidders. The paid plans cost 170.00 USD, 240.00 USD, and $360, paid once, with higher item limits and additional features.
