SchoolAuction.net Pricing Reviews
Easy to use, great help guides, great polished website/user experience for bidders, great reporting functionality Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
-Wish we could've pre-scheduled custom text messages to be sent during the live event.
-Wish we could guarantee all processing fees would be covered via extra donation (although the help guide clearly explains The Offset Fees feature is not electronically connected to the actual credit card fees charged by your merchant account and are set by you as a means of reimbursement for MOST of the fees banks charge so do not expect an exact accounting match.)

I really like that SchoolAuction.net allows our existing merchant gateway processor, Authorize.Net, to integrate into their platform opposed to other platforms that may be limited and require you to use their preferred partner, e.g., Stripe. For us, this simplifies the process and reconcilation versus adding an additional payment platform to learn and manage. I say this from experience when we had switched for a brief time to a different competitor of SchoolAuction.net for handling our events. The payment and transaction reports focused on various aspects, i.e., by payment type, by donor, by item, etc., was most helpful for my reconcilation needs each month, whereas the other platform couldn't offer this level of reporting, which caused a lot of manipulation within an Excel spreadsheet.

We have two main fundraising events a year that we use SchoolAuction.net for. Being involved in the event setup/implementation process for the first time this year, I did feel a bit overwhelmed with the different areas that needed to be completed, not knowing what was pertinent info and fields to complete or how things would or wouldn't appear on the end-user web interface for our event. However, it was encouraging to know that a rep with SchoolAuction.net was there to review our event setup to review for completeness and/or troubleshooting all along the way. The reps were most helpful anytime we reached out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
