Question 1

Can people bid with points instead of money?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The auction can run on real money, on gamification points earned during the event, or on a symbolic currency your brand defines. The mechanic is identical; only the bidding unit changes.

Question 2

How is the winner validated?

Accepted Answer

Every bid is logged with the profile of the attendee who placed it, the timestamp and the amount. When the lot closes, the system awards it to the highest valid bid and the host confirms it live; the report keeps the full audit trail.

Question 3

Does it work for fundraising?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and also for real sales with online payment, or for brand activations where the prize is the experience itself. The module runs the bidding and the record; the payment gateway and fulfillment are agreed in the quote.

Question 4

What happens if two people bid at the same time?

Accepted Answer

You set the minimum increment, and the system orders bids by arrival time. If a bid lands in the final seconds, the lot extends its close by however long you configured, so nobody wins on latency.

Question 5

How far ahead does it need to be planned?

Accepted Answer

The module can be switched on from the dashboard the same day if needed. Loading the lot catalog with photos and descriptions takes longer than turning it on. For the version with a professional auctioneer and a studio, lead time is agreed in the quote.
