No — TradeCraft manages the add-on system, not the live auction itself. Your sale runs exactly as it always has. TradeCraft handles the online add-on layer before, during, and after the sale.
County and local livestock shows that currently collect add-ons manually — paper sheets, spreadsheets, or informal tracking. If your show has a finalized sale order and buyers who want to contribute beyond the ring, TradeCraft is built for you.
The county controls the official sale order, the show timeline, and where funds are deposited. TradeCraft operates the platform, manages buyer communication, and delivers reports — but the show's financial accounts are always yours.
The add-on window is flexible and set per show. Most shows open the platform before sale day and keep it open for a period after — extending the giving window beyond the sale barn.
Online card and ACH payments are processed through TradeCraft's platform and routed directly to the show's designated account. Invoices and check payments are tracked through the system but settled directly between the buyer and the show.
Setup time depends on when we receive your finalized sale order. Once we have the data, most shows are published within a few business days. Reaching out early gives your buyers the longest possible add-on window.
Yes — TradeCraft will work with your county or district to complete the vendor approval process. Contact us directly and we'll handle the paperwork.
