Silent Auction · Text-to-Bid
Your auction raises 40% more when bidders can bid from the fairway.
Redswing is the only charity golf platform with native text-to-bid. Players never stop bidding just because they walked away from the auction table — they're bidding from hole 12.
How text-to-bid works
Bidder texts a bid
From the cart, a player texts BID 1 350 to the event number. No app, no browser, no login.
Instant confirmation
Redswing replies immediately confirming the bid and the item — or telling them they need to go higher.
Outbid alerts
The moment someone is outbid, they get a text. One reply puts them back in the lead, keeping competition alive all round.
One-click settlement
When the auction closes, winners get a text-linked Stripe checkout. Payment hits the charity's account automatically.
Anti-snipe protection
A bid placed in the final two minutes automatically extends the auction window. No one steals an item in the last second — bidders get a fair chance to respond, which pushes final prices higher.
Why it raises more
Paper bid sheets stop working the moment players leave the room. With text-to-bid, the competition follows them onto the course — and the urgency of an outbid alert is what drives the 30–40% lift over paper.
What makes ours different
It's native — not a bolt-on.
Most golf platforms either don't offer a silent auction or charge extra for a separate tool. Redswing's auction is built into the same platform that runs your registration, scoring, and reporting — so settlement, donor records, and your post-event report all already know about it.
Run an auction that bids itself.
Free to set up. Ten minutes from account to a live event page. We only earn when your event raises money — never before.
