# PaddleUp

Canonical: https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/562730/PaddleUp

> If your school or nonprofit runs more than one type of fundraiser in a season, Paddle-Up is built to replace the patchwork of auction apps, ticketing tools, spreadsheets, and payment links that usually don’t talk to each other.

Who it fits best: PTO and booster groups, development teams, and volunteer-led committees planning galas, silent or live auctions, jog-a-thons, pledge drives, ticketed dinners, and festival-style events. Instead of buying separate tools for each format, you work from one campaign workspace where goals, branding, permissions, and financial reporting stay connected from planning through reconciliation.

What you can run in one place:

Mixed-event seasons — Structure campaigns around your real calendar: preview an auction while ticket sales are open, run a pledge period alongside a fun run, and keep sponsorships and booth sales on the same ledger.
Auctions without night-of chaos — Catalog items and packages, register bidders online or at the door with the Paddle-Up iOS staff app, monitor silent and live bidding in real time, and close out with Stripe checkout instead of manual winner lists.
Ticketing that finance can trust — Sell tiers, register attendees, check people in at the door, and assign gala seating from the same roster your team uses for reporting—no merging three exports to answer “who attended?”
Payments that work online and on-site — Stripe handles cards and payouts; volunteers can take event-day payments through the iOS app and Stripe Terminal readers, with every transaction tied back to the campaign.
Beyond the headline features, Paddle-Up includes sponsorship tracking, booth and inventory management for carnival-style fundraisers, donor email tools with threaded conversations, and optional AI assistance for procurement-related email. Operations teams get volunteer-friendly workflows, sign placement mapping, device monitoring for streaming setups, and API access when you need custom integrations.

On pricing: Paddle-Up does not charge a monthly platform subscription for core features. The platform fee is 0.1% + $0.15 per successful transaction on top of standard Stripe processing—useful when you want predictable costs tied to actual fundraising volume rather than per-seat licenses for volunteers.
