Founder Non-Profit Organization Management, Self-employed Used the software for: Less than 6 months ** Overall Rating 2.0 ** Ease of Use 1.0 Customer Service 2.0 Features 4.0 Value for Money 1.0 Likelihood to Recommend 30% 3/10 Reviewer Source Source: Capterra September 27, 2025 "Too cumbersome" **Overall:** Frustrating, overly complicated, slow online support, no phone support. Demos are helpful. If it were me< I would have the demos recorded and have phone help. **Pros:** A lot of customization available on their software package, which may be nice for some people but it should be more streamlined. **Cons:** I find it very difficult to use. I am just tryin to enter the option to buy a beverage and there are 20 boxes to fill out. It should be 2 - Beverage and cost. It's the same with everything. You have to wait up to an hour to get a response. Vendor Response By Northworld on October 15, 2025 Hi Noelle, Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry the software felt difficult to use. SchoolAuction.net is built to handle a wide range of fundraising events, which can take some getting used to—especially for a one-person team running their first fundraiser. Our support team spent several hours with you on Zoom to try to help, but we understand it can still feel like a lot at first. While our regular support is handled online, we do provide phone support on the day of your event to make sure everything runs smoothly. Your feedback about simplifying setup for new users is appreciated and will help us improve. – The SchoolAuction.net Team 🦉 Elise H.

Thank goodness we have ran multiple auctions in the past so we used what we knew and the software to be able to pull it off. Also if I didn’t have an excel genius correcting entering issues that happened on spot and figuring out how to do that, we would be screwed! **Pros:** Everything was in one place which made it nice. Liked the different options of bid sheet styles. Liked that started bid was already placed on bid sheet and pictures with donors were on there made it nice with lots of items on the table. It was nice that multiple people could be running multiple computers at once **Cons:** I hated the pre-numbering of items. We organize our tables then number. It took much time to redo all of that the day before. Also I hated that I couldn’t just type in either item description or donor when I was reorganizing the sections. Since I didn’t know that’s how it was going to only going to be done by item description, I wrote in “$50 gift card” but I didn’t put “$50 gift card to ….” as the item name which would made life so much quicker. When I got to my last section all my items were in there so I had to use the drag feature instead of the type box to reorder. It took way longer. Also I requested my live items start at 1000 and they still loaded in at 1 all the time. I didn’t realize that if we actually had a gift card to be picked up that they should be under pick up item not gift card because we didn’t need a gift card created. I would have like to have an override for an automatic minimum suggested bid for auction. I had to double check lots of my bid sheets to make sure because we have always done a $1 raise or $5 raise. There was a lot missed when baskets where getting loaded in so double checking at the end to correct those took a lot of time. Our system seemed to have a meltdown in the middle checking in and logging credit cards. Some people would look like they got flag but they would be fine on other computers. One of my people found the app at the last minute. It would have been nice to have an app the whole time. I had to do a lot of pictures from my phone and then email myself. Then saving them to my computer to be able to use them on the sight. It would have saved me a tons of time. It would have been nice to have another zoom meeting with someone a couple of weeks before the auction to go over the day of features to make sure we had them. **Alternatives Considered:** [Auctria](https://www.capterra.com/p/112910/Auctria/) and [Givebutter](https://www.capterra.com/p/172048/Givebutter/) **Reasons for Choosing SchoolAuction.net:** The one on one zoom call. I like that everything was all in one place and the software included everything. Vendor Response By Northworld on March 19, 2025 Hi Elise, Thanks so much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback—we truly appreciate it. You mentioned an issue regarding an app, but since we don't have one, we'd love some clarification to better assist you. Additionally, we host a free webinar every Thursday called "Event Night Walk-Through," which covers many common challenges and would be a great resource for your team moving forward. We'd like the opportunity to discuss your experience further and explore how we can make your next event smoother. We did reach out to your school this morning, but unfortunately, the person we spoke with didn't take a message. Please feel free to give us a call directly at 503-715-1112—we look forward to helping out!
