How do I manually register a bidder for my auction?

A bidder may need to be manually registered in an auction by the clerk or auctioneer. This can be accomplished in two ways: Creating a user in the BidWrangler admin portal, and manually creating a registration for this auction, OR in a specific auction's clerking panel.

1. Admin Portal

If the bidder does not have an account created, you will need to first navigate to the BidWrangler admin portal, and click "Users" -

From here, click "Create" to make a new user account -

Fill in all of the required fields(including address), and leave the default registration as "Pending" in the dropdown. Once this has been completed, click "Save" at the bottom of the screen -

2. Once the bidder's account has been created, you will need to manually create a registration for the user for the specific auction. From the BidWrangler admin portal, click "Registration" from the left menu -

From here, select "Create" from the top menu bar -

Select both the user you wish to register for the auction, as well as the auction from the dropdown menu. Check the "Approved" box, and click save -

This user will now be registered and able to bid within the auction.

REMINDER: Make sure to send the user their login info after creation.

2. Clerking Panel

While in an auction's clerking panel, you can manually register a bidder by clicking on the "plus" button in the top right.

A "Register new bidder" popup will appear, where you can search and register users that are already in your system, or click on the empty field and "Create a new bidder" for those that don't have user accounts.

If you choose to create a new bidder, the popup will change to allow you to input information for a new bidder and register them for that particular auction.
