Introducing WhatsApp Bidding

We've added a new way to bid on WeAuction, and it might be the most familiar one yet. With WhatsApp Bidding, your buyers place and follow bids right inside the chat app they already open every day. Nothing to download, no account to create, no password to forget.

It comes with something just as useful. You can market straight from Instagram, Facebook and your other social channels into the auction, turning the attention you already earn on social into real bids.

Every step between interest and a bid costs you buyers

A bidder who has to download an app, create an account, and verify an email before their first bid is a bidder you can lose along the way. WhatsApp Bidding takes those steps out. A buyer follows the auction, sends a short message to bid (for example, "BID 25500"), and gets an instant confirmation back. When the hammer falls, they know right away whether they've won.

Nothing is lost on your side. Each message becomes a live bid, confirmed in real time and captured in your auction's full audit trail. Your clerk and admin team see every action, exactly as they would with bidders in the room, and the whole thing runs under your own brand.

From a social post straight to a bid

Your buyers are on Instagram and Facebook every day. WhatsApp Bidding lets you turn that attention into real participation. Post a lot, add a link, and one tap takes a follower from the post into your auction, where they register and bid over WhatsApp. You don't lose anyone to app installs or logins.

• Post it on social: share a lot on Instagram, Facebook, or any channel, in a post, story, reel or ad.
• One tap in: followers tap through straight into your auction, with no install or sign-up wall.
• Bid via WhatsApp: they place and follow bids in chat, and every bid lands in your auction.

Familiar for buyers, fully controlled for you

WhatsApp Bidding sits alongside our live, timed and deal-room formats. Same platform, same control, same complete ownership of your buyer data. It simply meets more buyers where they already are, and gives you a new way to bring them in.

It's the easiest way to bid we've built, and a direct bridge from your social audience to your auction floor.
