STEP 1: DOWNLOAD THE HANDBID APP
If you have an iPhone or Android, you can download the HANDBID app from the Apple App Store or the Google Play store. Enter “HANDBID” in the search box and click to download. Please note we strongly recommend you “Accept notifications from this app” when you open it and join our auction. This will allow you to get push notifications if you have been “Outbid” during the auction.
STEP 2: TAP GET STARTED & CREATE ACCOUNT
Click “OPEN.” Next you can create an account. From the App home screen, tap “GET STARTED” and complete the information (please use your cell phone as the phone number). Tap “NEXT.” HANDBID will text you a 5 digit code. Enter this code to login. Please note you need to enter your credit card info to complete any purchase.*
STEP 3: SELECT AUCTION FROM LIST & START BIDDING
Search “CCWS” and select our auction. Once in the auction, swipe left/right to access categories and up/down to access items. If purchasing an Israel Tour Raffle ticket, swipe left once to the “Raffle” category to purchase your tickets. Whether you are bidding from your computer or in the HANDBID App, here are some easy tips to help you:
- MAX BID: This is the maximum you are willing to spend for an item. The HANDBID system will automatically bid for you until you reach your max. Set a max bid and enjoy your evening!
- NOTIFICATIONS: If you have downloaded the HANDBID App and accepted push notifications, you will be notified by push notifications when you are outbid on an item. If you don’t have the app you can still bid through your phone’s web browser and will receive text messages from HANDBID.
- DASHBOARD: Monitor what you are currently winning and losing on the Dashboard screen in your app or online.
