Auctions can be set up with two different payment schedules. ⏰
Immediately request payment when an item is won. (Winners pay for each item as they win them.)
Request payment when auction closes. (Winners pay for all the items they've won at the end of the auction.)
You can also choose to activate auto-charge 💸
Auto-Charge Payment Method ON
Registering as a bidder gives the auction manager permission to charge the payment method on file either immediately after each item is won, or cumulatively at the end of the auction.
Winners will receive a notification of items won, followed by a transaction receipt.
Auto-Charge Payment Method OFF (Payment Request)
Winners will receive a payment request for item(s) won and will need to click the Pay for Items button or link to complete their transaction.
Clicking Pay for Items takes the winner back to Givebutter to complete payment.
After items are paid for, the winner will receive a transaction receipt.
Auto-Charge Payment Method OFF and tips disabled
If the donor chooses not to cover the fees, the organization will absorb the processing fees. In this case, that means the organization would have $0.61 available to withdraw after fees were covered.
Auto-Charge Payment Method OFF, tips disabled and fees hidden
The organization will absorb credit card transaction fees of 2.9% + 30 cents per transaction and a platform fee of 5% per transaction.
