How Aucly Works

Create your auction, share it with your community and manage bidding, winners and payments with tools built for busy organisers.

1

Set up & customise your auction

Add your lots, personalise your auction page, and preview every detail before going live.

2

Share your auction

Share your auction link through newsletters, WhatsApp groups, social media, posters, QR codes or event communications so your community can bid.

3

Collect payments your way

Winners can pay by bank transfer or secure card payment through Stripe. Choose the payment method that works best for your organisation while keeping payment tracking simple and transparent.

Built for trusted community bidding

Fundraising auctions usually work best when an organisation already has a community of parents, alumni, members, donors, guests or local supporters. Aucly gives that community one clear place to browse prizes and bid, while giving organisers practical tools for managing the auction from setup through to winner follow-up.

Trust proof

Built for real school and community auctions

Aucly was built after running real PTA and school auctions. The same practical tools now help schools, charities, clubs and community organisations bring donated prizes, supporters, bids and winner follow-up together in one place.

  • Designed for PTAs, schools, charities, clubs and community groups
  • Free for smaller auctions with a genuine free tier
  • Flat pricing with no Aucly commission on winning bids
  • You control your own payments — funds go directly to your organisation
  • Optional Stripe card payments direct to your own Stripe account
  • Direct support from the Aucly team
  • Easy to share with your existing community
Real example: one school auction hosted on Aucly raised £2,265 from 44 lots, 63 bidders and 1,074 bids. Read the case study.
