Q1 2022 Updates

Here are some brand-new features we want to share with you:

  • Bidders will now see a message if they lose their internet connection.
  • We have changed "Closing speed minutes" to "Closing speed seconds.” This way, you can elect to close items faster than once a minute if you so choose. All existing settings in this field have been converted to seconds (for example, if you had the speed set to "1" it will now be set to "60”)
  • We now support Facebook SDK, which allows for better linking and tracking when using Facebook ads. 
  • We will now automatically cancel duplicate imports. When using the item importer, if an admin starts more than one import for the same auction, the earlier import is cancelled. Now, the admin does not have to wait for a long job to finish if they realize they already need changes made to their spreadsheet. They can just upload the newer version of their .csv, and the old one will be cancelled.
  • You can now hide dates when adding an auction. This is especially helpful if you have an auction with dates TBD that you want to advertise ahead of time. The “hide dates” checkbox is found at the auction level settings. *Please note: You will still need to add dates to the auction, even when hiding them. This is so that when the auction goes live or opens for bidding, it will accurately reflect on the bidding platform. When the auction starts, the date will reappear.
  • You can now have invoices be created automatically. This feature is disabled by default, but can be enabled in Company Settings with the checkbox, "Enable auto invoice creation.” Once turned on, BAM users will have invoices created automatically whenever an item is sold. If the buyer already bought an item (and thus already has an invoice), the second item won will automatically be added to their invoice.
  • New credit card features:
    • A user's credit card and phone/address history is now stored on the User Payment Method page. You can also set cards as default and delete cards.
    • On an invoice an admin can now enter a credit card for one-time use. This use will not replace the card the buyer has on file. Nor will the one-time card be stored.
