Onsite Auctions > Pre-Auction

This guide explains how to enable and manage electronic bidder registration for your onsite auctions using Auctions Live. Electronic bidder registration allows interested parties to pre-register before auction day, making the process smoother for everyone involved.

By enabling electronic bidder registration, you provide a convenient way for potential bidders to register online, receive important notifications, and streamline the auction day process.

Steps to Enable Electronic Bidder Registration

Step 1: Navigate to the property's Edit page within Auctions Live.

Step 2: Locate the Bidder Registration section.

Step 3: Toggle on the desired bidder registration types. You can select from:

• In-Person Bidding
• Bidding via Telephone
• Auctions Live Online Bidding
• Video Conferencing (if enabled for your account)

How Bidders Can Pre-Register

Once you have enabled electronic bidder registration, interested parties can pre-register using one of the following methods:

• Website Display Widget: If you have an Auctions Live Website Display Widget embedded on your real estate agency's website, a Bidder Registration button will appear for each listing.
• Unique Link: You can share a unique link directly with interested parties.
• Unique QR Code: Potential bidders can scan a unique QR code to access the registration form.

Receiving Bidder Registration Notifications

When an individual pre-registers as a bidder:

• An automatic notification email will be sent to the primary selling agent.
• You have the option to add more recipients for these notifications via the advanced settings.
• The primary office user will also receive a notification email.

Managing Pre-Registered Bidders

You can view and manage details of pre-registered bidders through the Auctions Live platform:

• Auctions Live Mobile Console App: If you have been assigned a user role as a Selling Agent, you can log in to the Mobile Console App to view all bidder details and approve their registration.
• Auctions Live PC Console: All users with access to the listing will be able to view pre-registered bidder details within the Auctions Live PC Console.
