🏁 Step 1: Navigate to the Events Page
-
From your admin dashboard, go to Organization → Events
-
Click the + Add Event button (blue)
📝 Step 2: Enter Basic Event Info
On the event setup screen:
-
Keyword: Reuse an old one or create a new, unique keyword

💡 Tip: Use a keyword that’s easy to remember and share (e.g., springgala24).
👤 Step 3: Assign Access
Next, assign event permissions:
-
Choose an existing user from the dropdown
-
Or enter a new user’s name and email to invite them
📌 Info: You can add more users later—this just sets your initial admin(s).
🔁 Step 4: Reuse or Start from Scratch
You’ll be prompted to either:
-
Pull data from a previous event (like items, settings, bidders)
-
Start fresh with a clean event
If you select a previous event:
-
Use the dropdown to choose the event
-
Check the boxes for the data you want to copy over (e.g., items, settings, merchant account)
💡 Tip: If you're reusing the same bank account, make sure to check "Merchant Account" to retain your payout details.
💾 Step 5: Save and Continue
Click Save Event.
You’ll automatically be redirected to the Users Page, where you can:
-
Add more users to the event
-
Confirm access for existing organization admins
📌 Info: If you’re an Organization Admin, you and all existing users will automatically get access to the new event.

➡️ Go To Event Admin
This opens your new event's admin dashboard where you can:
-
Configure settings
