Online Auction Organiser Guides

Understand the main stages of an Aucly auction and where to manage each one.

Choose what you need to do

Your Dashboard is the starting point for every auction. It shows current, ended and archived auctions, along with the next recommended action for anything that needs attention.

  1. Create your first draft if you are new to Aucly.
  2. Add or update auction items while you are preparing the prizes.
  3. Schedule and launch the auction when its details and items are ready.
  4. Promote the auction once you have a link to share.
  5. Collect payments and arrange handover after bidding ends.

Follow the auction journey

An auction starts as a draft without a bidding window. You add its details and items, then schedule when bidding will open and close. It becomes live at the scheduled start time and ended after the closing time. When winner follow-up is complete, you can archive it from the active dashboard.

The Schedule and launch guide explains these states and the checks required before bidders can see an auction.

If your account is also a bidder account, use Switch to Bidder or Switch to Organiser in the navigation. This changes the available menus and actions; it does not create another account.

Your next step

For a new auction, follow Getting started. If you already have a draft, open it from the Dashboard and continue with its next recommended action.
