Charging cards after the event
Charging the card as an organizer will incur an additional 5% fee (on top of Stripe's processing fee) that will be deducted from the net donation deposited to your organization's bank account. This covers WinningBidder.com's risk associated with bidder chargebacks.
We recommend giving winning bidders three days to pay their invoice on their own to minimize the risk of chargebacks. If they don't complete checkout on their own, you can manually charge their card from the bid report for a 5% fee.
From the Event Dashboard, click Bid Report.
Go to the Bids tab.
Next to an unpaid item, click Manage.
Access the ... next to the unpaid item and choose Charge Winning Bidder's Card.
Review and acknowledge the message about the 5% fee and click Charge Card.
