Capabilities

Everything the stage needs. Nothing it doesn't.

momoGood live auction software gives your auctioneer, AV team, and back-of-house staff the tools to run a fast, high-energy live auction — with every winning bid recorded and every dollar collected.

Digital catalog & displays

Project a digital catalog of auction lots on any screen in the venue. Displays show item details, photos, and donor credits — giving the audience a preview of what is coming up next.

Winner recording & tracking

When the auctioneer calls sold, your team records the winning bid and bidder number on a staff device. Track every lot, every winner, and every amount — no clipboard, no confusion.

Fund-a-need & paddle raises

Run donation appeals alongside your live auction lots. Donors pledge from their phone and watch totals climb on the projected thermometer. Paddle raises and fund-a-need are separate tools from the lot-by-lot auction.

Live leaderboards & counters

Display a real-time fundraising thermometer, bid leaderboard, or pledge counter on the main stage screen. Watch the total climb as the room responds.

Batch winner checkout

When the auctioneer calls sold, your team records the winning bid. After all lots close, send checkout links to all winners at once. No line at the cashier table.

Payment & receipting

Accept cards, Apple Pay, and DAF Pay. Send checkout links to winners after the event. Transaction receipts are delivered on demand when your team sends them.

Event types

Works with your event. Every format.

Galas & benefit dinners

Run a live auction as the centerpiece of your gala. Audience displays show the digital catalog while your team records each winning bid. Pair it with a silent auction running on mobile for even more revenue.

Golf outings & outdoor events

Run a live auction at your charity golf outing or outdoor fundraiser. Display lot details on screens at the clubhouse and record winners as the auctioneer closes each lot.

Hybrid events

Remote supporters can participate in fund-a-need and paddle raise moments alongside in-room attendees. For live auction lots, remote supporters can contact the organization ahead of time to place a maximum bid through a staff member.

How it works

From catalog to cashier. Three steps.

STEP 1

Build your catalog

Add lots with photos, descriptions, donor credits, and fair market values. Set starting bids, bid increments, and buy-it-now prices.

STEP 2

Run the auction

Your auctioneer works the room while audience screens display the catalog. Your team records each winning bid as lots close.

STEP 3

Settle and thank

Send checkout links to all winners at once. Deliver transaction receipts on demand and send thank-you messages when your team is ready.

STEP 4

Follow up and grow

Send thank-you texts, share impact updates, and invite attendees to your next event — all from one donor record that connects to your CRM.

The live thermometer on stage kept the energy up all night. Every time a pledge dropped, the whole room reacted. We raised more in the paddle raise than we did in the live auction.

FAQ

Live auction questions, answered.

What is live auction software?

Live auction software is a platform that powers in-person live auctions for nonprofit fundraising events. It provides a digital catalog, winner recording tools, batch checkout links, and integrated payment processing — replacing clipboards and manual tracking with a digital experience that raises more.

Can remote guests bid in a live auction?

Remote supporters can contact the organization ahead of time to place a maximum bid, and a staff member can bid on their behalf during the live auction. Direct remote bidding into a live auction is not currently supported.

Does it work with fund-a-need and paddle raises?

Yes. momoGood includes both fund-a-need and paddle raise tools. Donors pledge from their phone and watch totals climb on the projected thermometer. These are separate from the live auction lot-by-lot process.

What do the audience screens show?

For silent auctions, screens display bid leaderboards and item details. For donation appeals, screens show real-time fundraising thermometers and pledge totals. For live auction lots, screens display the digital catalog with item details and photos.

How do winners pay?

After all lots close, your team sends checkout links to all winners at once. momoGood supports credit cards, Apple Pay, and DAF Pay. Transaction receipts are delivered on demand when your team sends them.

Can live and silent auctions run in one event?

Yes. momoGood runs live and silent auctions simultaneously within a single event. Silent auction items accept mobile bids throughout the evening while the live auction runs from the stage — all on one platform with one donor record.
