Start creating an in-person to include all your settings, send out invitations and ultimately run your event. Connect the ticket campaign to the event.
2. Setup Silent/Online Auction
Share the Silent Auction with your donors so they bid, get outbid, and eventually, when you close your silent auction, they will get notified if they have won.
If you close the Silent Auction during your virtual event, then the winnings will go into the donors' carts for easy checkout.
4. Create campaigns to be used at your in-person event
Campaigns are the backbone of the event. There would be 1 campaign for each component of your event. For Example:
Paybee generates paddles for all your guests with their names and tables on it. Download the PDF and print it on cardstock on your own. Blank paddles are also generated so you can assign them to the guests at check-in.
Go to Manage > Events > Tap the ... > In-Person Reports > Paddles
Assign Paddles to all Attendees
