New registration experience that aligns with standard event forms
The updated experience reflects the look and feel of standard event forms. The multistep process breaks up registration into smaller pieces, reducing decision fatigue for attendees.
Email check for existing tickets prior to registration to avoid duplicate sign-ups
Before beginning registration, the system will check whether the attendee is already registered for the auction and prompt them to log in if they are.
Attendees will still be able to purchase additional tickets if they need to!
Log in with One-Time Passcode
Entering an auction to begin bidding is now easier with one-time passcode login. If attendees have a phone number on file, they can choose to have the code texted or emailed to them.
Cleaner item card design and layouts that align with the Givi app
Item cards look more like they do in the Givi app, standardizing the bidding experience, regardless of platform.
Smoother item details navigation with a back button takes users to same scroll position
After a bidder clicks into an item card, they’ll see a “Back” button, which will return them to their previous browsing position to make navigating the auction easier.
Option for attendees to “watch” items they’re interested in
Web bidders can now watch items they’d like to keep an eye on, just like they can in the Givi app.
Updated Attendee Activity screen for easier item management
Attendees can monitor their watched items, view their carts, and make payments from the updated Activity screen.
(COMING SOON!) Updated donation experience that aligns with the year-round form
A new, multistep donation form gives one-time event donors the same experience as year-round and peer-to-peer donors. The new donation pages will be released as part of the ongoing auctions redesign Beta.
