Description
Bidstation is an innovative point-of-sale platform specifically designed to enhance the efficiency of traditional silent auction fundraising events that typically use paper bid sheets. Utilizing Square payments, Bidstation integrates seamlessly with your organization’s USD Square account. At check-in, the Bidstation app allows for quick and easy capture of attendee credit card information, ensuring a smooth checkout experience without any long queues. You can charge cards on file at your convenience, making transactions straightforward. If you haven't yet created a Square account, you can set one up for free in just a few minutes. Since all payments and card storage are managed by Square, you can feel confident knowing that PCI compliance is upheld. This streamlined system allows you to check in guests, securely save credit card details, record bids and payments, and email receipts—all in one cohesive platform that eliminates lines and enhances the experience for attendees. Bidstation is compatible with any Android or iOS device that works with Square, as well as Windows computers, providing flexibility in how you manage your event. Currently, it is only available for Square accounts that operate in US dollars.
