Assigning Multiple Winners for Your Silent Auction Items

Written by Jon Kazarian

Enable Multiple Winners Per Item to allow more than one bidder to win the same silent auction item. You can specify the number of winners for each eligible item.

Notes:

  • If an item is configured to have multiple winners, the same bidder can win more than once. For example, if an item allows three winners and one bidder places the first and third highest bids, they will be required to pay for both winning bids.
    ​

  • When Buy It Now is enabled with the Multiple Winners feature, any bidder who places a bid equal to or higher than the Buy It Now price becomes an eligible winner. The Buy It Now price remains unchanged, allowing subsequent bidders to continue bidding at the original Buy It Now price and still qualify as eligible winners.

Allow Multiple Winners for an Item

  • Go to Fundraising > Auction > Settings

  • Turn on Allow Multiple Winners Per Item

  • Go to the Add Items tab and select the item you want to edit

  • Enter the number of winners in the Number of Winners field

  • Click Save

Bidders can view the Eligible Winner list for each item. If Multiple Winners is enabled, a checkmark appears next to each eligible winner. Once the auction ends, all winning bidders will be notified and prompted to complete payment for their winning bids.
