🧾 What Are Display Cards?
Display cards are printable 8x10 sheets that show important details about your auction items for in-person viewing. These cards can include:
-
Item Name and Number
-
Description
-
Fair Market Value (FMV)
-
Item Image
-
QR Code to link directly to the item online
Display cards are great for silent auctions with physical displays. They give bidders a chance to browse before placing a bid on their device.
⚙️ How to Launch Display Cards
1️⃣ Go to Items
-

3️⃣ Choose What to Show
-
Select which fields you’d like displayed (e.g., FMV, images, QR codes).

Make sure your item descriptions aren’t too long or the card layout may not display properly.
Long descriptions may cause formatting issues and may cut off key fields.
4️⃣ Generate & Edit

-
Your display cards will open in a new browser tab where you can edit text and descriptions directly.
-
Use Ctrl + P or right-click > Print when ready.
Edits made in the display preview will not be saved after printing. Be sure everything looks correct before closing the window.
🌐 QR Code Tips
If you choose to include QR codes on your display cards:
-
The item must be in Active status.
-
The bidder must already be logged into the bidding site to view the items.
Test one display card QR code on your phone before printing to ensure it opens correctly.
🖨️ Printing Tips
-
Display cards are formatted for 8x10 paper only.
-
The best layout for long descriptions is the Classic theme, which offers the most room around the borders.
