Note: The Live Auction feature is specific to In-Person Event campaigns.
When using Pledge It's Live Auction feature, you will be able to display your live auction items in advance of your event, allowing interested participants to browse what will be available for bidding.
The Live Auction feature comes with:
a customizable content block that can be featured on your campaign page with clickable item listings
a dedicated landing page that can feature a custom title and welcome message to share additional context about the live auction
Note: Until you choose to add the Live Auction content block to your campaign page or circulate the Live Auction landing page URL, your Live Auction items will not be discoverable to the public.
