Manage your next in-person event with features that require less staff, training, and effort.
Planning an in-person fundraising event? Consider opting for Flex pricing and enabling RallyUp’s Advanced Components. In addition to all Core Components, Advanced Components give you access to powerful tools built specifically to help you manage every detail with less staff, training, and effort.
What are RallyUp’s Advanced Components?
RallyUp’s Advanced Components are designed specifically for in-person fundraising. These include:
- Live Auctions
- Silent Auctions
- Fund-a-Needs
- Paddle Raise+
- Event Balances and Guest Numbers
- Automated Checkout
- Live Display
What are Event Balances and Guest Numbers?
With Event Balances, attendees can make purchases, bids, and donations throughout an event and pay for everything when the event ends. Each guest receives a unique ID number for easy tracking and lookup. Additionally, you can add, edit, or remove any charges — all from the same platform.
How do Live Auctions, Fund-a-Needs, and Paddle Raises work at events?
Use our Paddle Raise feature to run traditional Fund-a-Needs, or get creative and use it to run Live Auctions or spotlight desirable items:
You can set your Fund-a-Need, Paddle Raise, or Live Auction so only in-person guests can participate, or open it up to virtual guests as well. When an attendee makes a bid or gives a donation, spotters can use their Guest Number to add it to their Event Balance.
What other features does RallyUp offer for in-person fundraising events?
What is pre-registration for events?
Pre-registration allows donors to create a RallyUp account and save a payment method before your event starts. As a result, check-in moves faster and attendees can quickly make donations or purchases without entering their payment method each time:

How does QR code check-in work?
Once you enable QR code check-in, each attendee receives a unique QR code that staff can scan for speedy check-in:

How much do RallyUp’s Advanced Components cost?
Select the Flex plan and pay a Platform Fee to unlock all Advanced Components. You can also choose to pass that fee on to donors. For custom pricing on a large in-person event, contact us.
