The time saved with the OneCause product is really like having extra employees/volunteers. Can't imagine doing it without them.
Pros
The software did everything we needed it to and more - from selling tickets and foursomes to silent auction and day-of fixed price items...simple to implement and a nice customer facing mobile app. But what really makes the product different is the incredible support you get from their team. Regular check-in's and calls - by the time our event rolled around, they knew more about it than I did. Although it was my first year running the multi-day events, I felt extremely comfortable and confident due to the support I received from OneCause.
Cons
I have only one complaint, and that is that there's not great-looking templates for the landing pages, and when we built our own, it was kind of a process in that it has to be stored on a website rather than uploading to OneCause. I believe they're working on improving that.

Streamlined, user friendly, and the support team was very helpful, especially [sensitive content hidden], our on-site event manager. She was wonderful. OneCause truly helped us save time, resources and maximize giving at our event, along with offering our guests a professional and forwarding thinking giving experience.
Pros
We used OneCause primarily as an auction management software. Our team loved how streamlined it made the bidding process, the close out process, and collecting payment. We are looking forward to next year's event now that our guests' information is already entered into OneCause because the check in process will be quick and easy, and we've learned a few things about how the software works best for us.
Cons
We are dismayed there is no way to share links to each individual auction item. We like to feature lots in our eblasts before our event, but it was frustrating only be able to share the link to the OneCause auction homepage rather than individual lots.

Website is too cumbersome to do for an event. there should be an option for a donate page to purchase tickets and then a link to the auction items. I would like more exports to be offered, see answer above.
Pros
The back end where you could put in the auction items and didn't have to put them in a spreadsheet. I did put the supporters in a spreadsheet with table and bid numbers and that was easily done.
Cons
I think there should be a separated place for items/donors and supporters. I had trouble getting the export that I needed to do my thank you letters. The donor thank you offered had a document that wasn't able to edit the margins in order to use my letterhead. I was not able to get one export that had company name, name, description, address, value. I am not sure why this basic export was not available. I called and the person was unable to help me. I took two exports and had to merge them.

Our event coordinator at the Gala was very supportive and training our students well so that they were able to help our guests sign in, purchase and bid.
Pros
The simplicity of purchasing tickets/items on line and actually bidding at our Gala.
Cons
The length of time having to spend on a conference all with our event coordinator. We have been doing charitable events for 7 years with OneCause and clearly understand our rolls. All we really need is a quick review
Response from OneCause (formerly BidPal)
Thank you for your review!
We’re glad to hear that OneCause made ticket purchasing and bidding simple for your gala, and that your event coordinator provided great support, especially with training students.
We appreciate your feedback on the time in pre-event calls and will share it with our team to improve the process. Thanks again for your continued partnership over the years!
