  • Reports generated after the event are excellent
  • Very easy to set up auction site with descriptions & photos, extremely user friendly
  • Support is always available, patient and helpful
  • On site personnel during events are extremely helpful
  • Seating and table management with software is very efficient
  • Photo sizing for auction packages can be challenging at times, a greater variety of sizing would be easier for the user

  • Online auction donation and listing for bidding
  • Ticket and table sales
  • Custom page creation
  • Registration and day of check in
  • It doesn’t allow you to customize the design of your link. When you post your link on Facebook, it’s branded for OneCause not for your event.
  • It doesn’t directly talk to our database The Raisers Edge
  • It doesn’t allow international donors to sign up

  • Their support staff is incredible

  • Customer service is outstanding.
  • The software is easy to use by those setting up the auction.
  • The software the bidders see on their devices is user friendly.
  • [Redacted] sent an email on 10.21.2020 both the Mobile Bidding solution and the Virtual Event Center for a special price. I responded that I was interested but was never contacted.
  • When we resigned our contract for our 4th year of service, I got an introductory message like we were new customers. I sent an email to [redacted] to make sure everything is in order and never heard back
  • I wish the credit card swipers had connection options and worked with non-Apple products -- usb-c, lightning, usb, etc.

  • Integrates attendee data seamlessly with other fundraising software such as Raiser's Edge
  • Allows organization to custom build their auction website through their module
  • Easily collects donations and transfers them to your organization's financial accounts
  • When building a custom page, adding images and video is a tedious and cumbersome process

  • Excellent Customer Support
  • Painless Payment Managment
  • Comprehensive Auction Management
  • Wanted to be able to manually add gifts to a fund appeal (at least in our package)
  • Wish we had the ability to add more polish to our auction page and scoreboard ourselves (not have to pay OneCause to do it for us)
  • Would like to have the set-up of a new event to be more intuitive.

  • Easy online bidding process for our participants (especially using the older software).
  • Detailed tracking and organization for our auction staff to manage everything in one place.
  • Excellent and proactive customer service in the months leading up to the event and in-person at the event itself.
  • They rolled out new bidding software that we used in 2022, which was not good. It was hard for our bidders to use and hard for our staff to use to run the event. We switched back to the "old" software for our 2023 event, and that was much better.
  • There are just a few minor improvements we would like to see in the "old" software: better quality picture options for the auction items and the ability to "round up" with a donation during online checkout.

  • Great customer service so that is responsive to questions or issues
  • Easy platform to process donations and payments with quick turnaround of finances
  • Easy to learn and use platform that allowed us to build out a robust and diverse silent auction
  • We wish the software was more conducive to a hybrid auction

  • The Support team is wonderful.
  • Makes everything so streamline and user friendly for all ages
  • It's helping us make more money which is the goal always!
  • It's going to take some time to fully understand the software. That is normal because it is such a powerful tool to learn.

  • Host events of all types (virtual, in-person, and hybrid)
  • Take payment options such as Apple Pay, Paypal, etc.
  • OneCause could have better integration with donor databases

  • I wish they way you could set up ticketing was different. For example, if there was spacing for only 26 tables or 260 guests, the tickets dont seem to allow you to stay within that range.
  • Needs a space for sponsors to give.

  • Silent Auction
  • Hosting multiple webpages
  • Mobile capabilities
  • Silent auction, particularly the items, could use some work. Each item only supports very small thumbnail images and there is no way to enlarge them.
  • Adding an email communication option with auction participants would be helpful instead of solely relying on text.
