Web-based & live event bidding, too
For bidders who prefer not to use an app, Handbid has a mobile-friendly web interface and tablets available to set up at your event.

Bid from the web
With a single account, bidders can easily find your auction and bid from anywhere. The web interface is as fast and user-friendly as the app and includes real-time push notifications, as well as all the same bidding capabilities.

Bid from tablets at live events
Tablets can be set up as a self-service kiosk, or be run by bid helpers. Use tablets to sell event-only items and tickets. The interface has full bidding capabilities including item search, checking bids, and real-time updates & messages.
Stream Live Video to your Bidders/Guests
With Handbid Live, you can stream live video to your bidders within the Handbid Apps and mobile bidding website! No need for your guests to leave Handbid to access a video feed elsewhere.

Promote Items
Promote items (live auction, silent auction, donations, forSale items) directly under the live stream. This is a great way to do a virtual paddle raise or live auction!
