What do you like best about Charity Auctions Today?

The team at Charity Auctions Today was so wonderful helping us transition from another auction software. Our silent auction uses mobile bidding and bidders had a must easier time using the CAT system then previous system. One of the most profound differences was the ease of event registration. It was so smooth after our transition to CAT that I think our registration assistants were almost bored! Registering to bid was a cinch with the text-to-bid option, and check-out has never been easier. Additionally, including card fees, fees and hardware purchases from the CC processing company, and the CAT platform, we saved over $1,200 (very important for a nonprofit organization)!! We can't wait to see what else CAT brings to the table in following years! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Charity Auctions Today?

We would've liked to provide ticket-buyers the option to assume CC fees when purchasing. Also, a feature that we lost in our transition to CAT was the ability to have both auto- and straight-bid options offered simultaneously, but bidders hardly noticed this. Finally, when bidders scroll through the auction page, then click an item for closer review, then return to the auction page, they lost their place in scrolling. These are so minor, and our bidders said the process was so easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Charity Auctions Today:

If you're considering switching to Charity Auctions Today, quit hesitating. It really is as good as it seems, and the support is amazing if you need a bit of guidance. You will not regret making this change, and your customers, volunteers, and admin will thank you for it (so will your bottom line)! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Charity Auctions Today solving and how is that benefiting you?

We solved the problem of having a clunky, difficult system for administrators, as well as volunteers and bidders, by switching to Charity Auctions Today. We had the best year in our history while using CAT. I love how easy it is to batch-upload auction items, schedule the auction, sell tickets, and communicate with bidders. It was great to watch the bidding process in real time. A huge benefit for us was the savings when we moved to CAT! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Charity Auctions Today?

The CAT website was easy to use, easy to add listings and worked well for our large fundraiser benefitting the LLS. The CAT team were accessible, knowledgeable and extremely helpful.

What do you dislike about Charity Auctions Today?

There were a few glitches when trying to search for invoices, issue refunds, etc. which we were able to work out with the CAT team directly.
