AuctionQR helps you run a live, host-led auction from the browser. Create the auction, show a QR code, let guests bid from their phones, and export the results when the room is done.
AuctionQR is not trying to be a donor CRM, ticketing system, marketplace, or heavy event platform. It focuses on the live auction moment: one host, one room, one lot at a time, with fast QR bidding and clear results.
Hosts can create an auction without signing up. Guests join without accounts, passwords, emails, or app-store downloads.
The host dashboard, bidder phone page, and projector screen are designed to work together during a real event.
The big screen shows a QR code and auction code so late arrivals can join from their own phone in seconds.
Start, pause, resume, sell, move to the next item, or end the auction from one dashboard.
Winning bidders, sold amounts, unsold lots, total revenue, and CSV export are available as soon as the auction ends.
After the event, the host can delete the auction data, bids, bidder records, access tokens, and uploaded item photos.
The whole workflow is browser-based. You can run it from a laptop for the host dashboard, a projector or TV for the live screen, and guests' own phones for bidding.
Choose the currency and how bidders should appear publicly. Click Create auction, or use the demo auction if you want to practice before a real event.
The host dashboard is the control room. Add lots with starting bids and increments, open the live screen, start an item, watch bids arrive, and mark the item sold when you are ready.
Open the live screen on a projector or TV. It shows the current lot, current bid, leading bidder, countdown, QR code, and auction code for guests joining the room.
Bidders enter a nickname, then bid from a mobile-friendly page. They see the current bid, next minimum bid, quick bid buttons, and whether they are currently the highest bidder.
When the auction ends, AuctionQR shows the final result for every item. The host can download a CSV for settlement, then optionally delete the auction data for privacy.
Good for simple live events: AuctionQR is intentionally lightweight. It does not force account creation, payment processing, donor profiles, ticketing, or event registration into the bidding flow.
Is AuctionQR really free?
Yes. You can create an auction and start using the live bidding workflow for free.
Do hosts need to register?
No. Create the auction from the homepage. AuctionQR gives you an admin session and a recovery code instead of forcing an account sign-up.
Do bidders need an app?
No. Bidders scan the QR code and bid from their phone browser. There is nothing to install.
Can I use one screen for the room?
Yes. Open the live screen on a projector, TV, or second browser window. It shows the QR code and live bidding state.
What happens after the auction?
The host can review results, download a CSV, and optionally delete the auction data when records are no longer needed.
Create a real auction or start with the demo. You can test the host dashboard, live screen, bidder page, and results flow in a few minutes.
