VC Auction

Silent Auctions,
Without the Silence.

Forget the clipboard bid sheets and the chaos of manual tracking. VC Auction brings your silent auction to life with real-time mobile bidding, instant notifications, and seamless checkout — so you can focus on your event, not your spreadsheets.

We Built This Because Silent Auctions Are Broken

For Organizers

You've spent weeks collecting donations and setting up items — then on event night you're scrambling with paper bid sheets, trying to read handwriting, manually tallying winners, and chasing down payments. The post-event spreadsheet takes longer than the auction itself.

VC Auction handles it all. Set up your items in minutes. Print QR codes. Bids come in automatically. Winners check out on their phone. Reports generate themselves. You get to actually enjoy the event you worked so hard to plan.

For Guests

Walking back and forth to check if you've been outbid. Waiting in line at the auction table. Not knowing if you won until someone reads names off a list. Finding out you need to write a check because they don't take cards.

Now it's all on your phone. Scan a QR code. Place a bid. Get notified instantly if someone outbids you. See a live countdown. When you win, pay however you want — cash, check, or card — right from your screen.

Everything You Need

Built for charity galas, fundraiser dinners, school auctions, and any event where you want to raise more money with less effort.

Mobile-First Bidding

Guests scan a QR code at any item and place bids instantly from their phone. No app downloads, no accounts to create — just enter your name, email, and phone and start bidding in seconds.

Real-Time Updates

Every bid updates live across all devices. Guests see the current price the moment it changes, know instantly when they've been outbid, and never miss a chance to bid again.

Anti-Snipe Protection

Last-second bids automatically extend the auction closing time, giving every bidder a fair chance. No more frustration from being outbid with zero time to respond.

Outbid Notifications

When someone outbids a guest, they get an email with a direct link back to the item. More notifications means more bids — and more revenue for your cause.

Printable QR Codes

One click generates beautifully formatted QR code cards for every item. Print them, place them next to your items, and guests are bidding in seconds.

Flexible Checkout

When the auction closes, winners choose to pay by cash, check, or credit/debit card. Card payments process instantly through Stripe — no chasing down payments after the event.

Comprehensive Reports

Five detailed reports — Item Report, All Bidders, Winning Bidders, Paid by CC, and Gross Receipts — all exportable as PDFs. Know exactly what happened and who owes what.

Your Brand, Front & Center

Upload your organization's logo and it appears on every page guests see. This is your auction, your brand — VenueCore just powers the technology behind the scenes.
