Full platform
Every feature, one honest price
Paddle-Up is designed for organizations that run real-world fundraisers— jog-a-thons, online sales, galas, auctions, and more—without enterprise contracts. Explore each area below—nothing is paywalled behind “Pro” tiers.
Under the hood, campaigns tie everything together: the same contact might buy a ticket, win a silent auction lot, and volunteer at check-in. Product pages below describe how each module works—workflows, what staff see on event day, and how finance gets a single story instead of stitched CSVs.
Capability map
Each link opens a detailed page: goals, day-of behavior, and how it connects to payments and reporting.
Campaign command center→
Each fundraiser gets a workspace for goals, branding, timelines, and permissions—so ticketing, auctions, and donor outreach all roll up to one campaign ID. Duplicate what worked next year without rebuilding your stack.
Auctions & bidding→
Catalog items and packages, register bidders online or on-site with the Paddle-Up iOS app, run silent or live bidding, and settle with Stripe-backed checkout—staff get monitoring views instead of spreadsheet guesswork.
Bid sheet scanning→
Printable bid sheets with QR anchors to the right lot, photo upload after close, and AI-assisted read-back against registered bidders—fewer midnight transcription errors and a clearer audit trail for silent auctions.
Custom forms→
Campaign-specific intake forms—parents and community members can submit donated auction items with structured fields, photos, and contact details; staff review and approve into catalog and inventory instead of retyping emails.
Ticketing & attendees→
Ticket tiers, capacity, attendee data, tables/seating where you need them, and check-in tied to the same roster your finance team sees—no more reconciling three exports to answer “who attended?”
Payments & payouts→
Stripe handles cards and payouts; Paddle-Up adds a flat $0.15 per successful transaction for the full platform. Tickets, bids, and donations flow through one consistent fee story—details on pricing.
Donors & communications→
Profiles combine purchases, bids, donations, and volunteer participation so thank-yous and follow-ups reference real behavior—not a stale import. Enough segmentation to sound human without enterprise marketing bloat.
Email management→
Email threads stay organized around tickets sold, custom form submissions, and payments—so staff are not hunting through a generic inbox. From the email manager you can update auction items, adjust form submissions, and fix purchased tickets without losing the conversation that started it.
Event operations→
Volunteer rosters, shifts, and roles aligned with ticketing and check-in—so door teams and floor captains work from the same truth as registration, not a printout from Tuesday.
Device monitoring & streaming→
Register each TV or projector with a name, stream different browser tabs or slideshows to different screens, and push a coordinated takeover when every display should show the same deck—one control view instead of chasing HDMI and window focus.
Inventory tracking→
Log donated items, merchandise, and prizes with quantities and locations—tied to campaigns and catalog lots so fulfillment and what’s-left-on-hand reconcile without a shadow spreadsheet.
AI Assistant→
In-product help and drafting support—ask how workflows fit together, turn bullet notes into donor-facing copy, and get unstuck without leaving Paddle-Up. Your team still reviews anything that goes live; no separate “AI tier” on pricing.
