Going Live: Bidding vs Donate Mode

Not sure about Event.Gives Live Modes? You're in the right place!

Donate Mode 

Donate Mode is the feature available for use during a virtual or hybrid paddle raise. Most nonprofits will display a mission video prior to the fund-a-need and then you will begin taking donations. After toggling on "Donate Mode," attendees can begin donating based on the preset levels.

Depending on the Event Organizer’s preference, you are able to display up to three "Giving Levels" on screen at once, in addition to a "Custom Giving Level," where attendees can type in a chosen amount. You can choose when to show each level on-screen by checking the box next to "Display," pictured below:

Bidding Mode

By toggling on "Bidding Mode," you will be able to choose which Live Auction item to show on screen in order to begin taking bids. Each Live Auction item will have a blue "Make Live" button.

Once the item is pushed live, the "Make Live" button will change to "Close Item." Once the item has been sold, you will click the "Close Item" button in order to end bidding.
