A gala has three money moments. Most platforms have one.
Moment one
The draw
Raffle or 50/50. Regulated, licensed per province, and the one thing a charity cannot improvise on the night.
Moment two
The auction
Silent all evening, live from the stage. Hundreds of bids in ninety minutes, each one a real-time write with a clerk behind it.
Moment three
The ask
Fund-a-need, paddles up in real time, matched gifts landing on a board the whole room is watching.
When only one of them lives on your platform, the charity is forced into a second login and two sets of numbers to reconcile at midnight.
Why auctions are not just another checkout.
Your gateway sees one charge. The receipt is not one number.
TRY IT · LOT 12, HOTEL STAY
Move either number. Watch the receipt fall off a cliff.
WHAT YOUR GATEWAY SEES
One charge · $500
WHAT THE RECEIPT NEEDS
$100 receipt
Eligible amount is the payment less the advantage.
aucti computes this per lot at settlement and stamps it on the receipt your platform sends.
Canadian rules judge each lot on its own. Getting it wrong puts the charity’s registration at risk — and neither standard ticketing nor donation processing prepares a platform for that math.
You own what was paid. We own what was won.
YOUR PLATFORM
- Charity relationship
- Guest identity and sign-in
- Cards, checkout, settlement
- Brand and domain
AUCTI, UNDERNEATH
- Items, lots, fair market value
- Bidding, clerk, room display
- Each guest’s tab
- The receiptable amount math
We keep the ledger. You take the payment and remit our 4%.
100% white label
Not a logo in the corner. Nothing says aucti.
Your customer never learns our name, and we never contact them. If the partnership ends, nothing on their side has to be re-explained to a single donor.
How it plugs in.
POST https://yourbrand.com/webhooks/aucti
Waiting for the room. Press play to watch ninety seconds of a live auction arrive as webhooks.
Step 01
Your servers call ours
Events, lots, and guests are provisioned over the API. Nobody on your side ever visits our website to set something up.
POST /v1/events
POST /v1/events/:id/lots
POST /v1/guests
Step 02
We send you events
Webhooks fire the moment something changes in the room, so your notifications and your checkout stay yours.
bid.outbid
lot.won
tab.ready_to_settle
Step 03
Guests land on your domain
SSO is established from your session, so there is no second login, no second password reset, and no support ticket about either.
bid.yourbrand.com?session=…
Partner pricing
4% of what the auction raises.
No setup fee, no licence, no per-charity minimum. We keep the ledger; you add our 4% at checkout and remit it.
Your charities already trust you with the night. This is the rest of it.
Start the conversation — a technical call, not a sales call. We’ll bring the API docs and a sandbox event.
