Your last auction probably felt harder than it should have.
Spreadsheets at the checkout desk
Guests in line, volunteers reconciling paddle numbers by hand, half the receipts wrong by Monday.
Paddle confusion in the room
"Was that 42 or 142?" Live bidding lives or dies on the clerk catching every number, faster than any pen.
Tax receipts the week after
A finance volunteer rebuilds CRA split-receipting math in Excel, then types each receipt by hand.
Three lots. That's the whole product.
aucti is built around the arc of an auction: before the night, the night itself, and the morning after.
Before the night
Tell aucti what you're raising for, when, and how many guests. The AI drafts a full event shell in about thirty seconds: narrative, run of show, and recommended starting bids. Then add items your way: upload a CSV, type lots in directly, or let the catalogue builder draft copy from a photo and a sentence. Everything stays editable until you publish.
The night itself
Silent bidding on guests' phones, no app to download. An auctioneer-aware clerk panel for the live lots. A cash-call thermometer that climbs on the room display as paddles go up. Your team watches one dashboard while the room runs itself.
The morning after
Checkout on the guest's own phone, receipts with CRA split-receipting math already done, thank-you drafts written, and a board report ready before your coffee. The follow-up that usually takes three weeks happens before the venue returns your deposit.
Built for the team running the room.
One job: running a charity auction from setup to checkout. AI takes the busywork. Your team makes the decisions.
Guests bid from their seat. No app to download.
A bidder taps their paddle number, browses lots, and places bids from the table. Outbid? They get a push. Closing in two minutes? They get a push.
A clerk panel that keeps up with the room.
Auctioneer-voice phase detection drives the screen: "going once" highlights, "sold" snaps to the next lot. Your clerk just taps the winning paddle.
A live thermometer for the give-back moment.
When the MC says "raise your paddle for $500," your tablet panel logs every pledge in real time. The thermometer climbs on the room display. Receipts queue automatically.
Total raised, updating as the gavel falls.
Watch silent, live, and cash call climb in real time. After the lights come up, export per-lot performance, top bidders, and CRA receipt summaries straight to your board deck.
One simple rate. 4% of what you raise.

The rate. aucti keeps 4% of what your auction and cash donations raise. No deposit, no monthly fee, no contract. Stripe's processing fees are separate; with fee cover on, your guests can cover both the 4% and processing at checkout.
Enterprise. Foundations and multi-chapter organizations raising at volume can get a rate below 4% with custom terms and integrations. Hands-on onboarding and live, night-of support is available as an add-on.
The fee applies to your auction and cash donations, not tickets, sponsorship, or the paddle raise. All prices in Canadian dollars.
