Payment Processing
Accept Payments by Credit Card
With ReadySetAuction, you can sell tickets and sponsorships online, accept cash donations online, capture guest credit card data at event check-in, process credit cards in real-time during gala event check-out, and accept and process credit cards from the winning bidders of your online auction.
To use these features, your organization must establish a merchant account with one of our payment processing partners listed below.

Accept Online Payments by PayPal
Important: Guests at your silent/live event auction cannot pay with PayPal. To capture cardholder data at silent/live event auction check-in and/or process credit cards in real time during event auction check-out, your organization must establish a merchant account with one of our partner processing companies listed above.
Link your organization’s PayPal Business account to ReadySetAuction to accept online payments on your ReadySetAuction-powered auction website. Your supporters can then pay by PayPal balance, linked checking account, or credit card when buying tickets and/or sponsorships online, making cash donations online and paying online for their online auction winnings.
Please note: Your customer will need a PayPal account in order to pay with PayPal, and will be given the opportunity to create an account if necessary during the PayPal payment process.
