Online Add-Ons.
Built. Hosted. Reported.
No software to manage. No paper add-on sheets. No spreadsheets to clean up. TradeCraft builds and hosts your livestock show's online add-on platform — importing your sale order, processing donations, and delivering the reports — so your county can focus on the show, not the paperwork.
actually does.
TradeCraft provides a complete, ready-to-use online add-on website tied directly to your official sale order. Buyers can add on to specific lots online, and all add-on activity is automatically consolidated into show-ready reports for student recognition and county accounting.
Counties do not manage software, spreadsheets, or reconciliation. TradeCraft handles site setup, payment monitoring, manual data entry when needed, automated reminders, and reporting from start to finish — while your show's families and volunteers do the sharing and the asking.
All transactions and records are structured to keep show funds and TradeCraft funds separated, secure, and auditable.

Let's talk.
You approve. We build.
From your finalized sale order to the last accounting export, TradeCraft builds and operates the platform. Counties provide the sale data and receive the reports — TradeCraft handles the technology in between.
Lots, exhibitors, and buyer-facing details are loaded directly from your finalized sale data. No manual entry on your end.
Your custom site is organized by lot and exhibitor for easy buyer navigation. Buyers can find and add on to the lots that matter to them.
Supporters can add donations to specific lots with flexible payment options — pay now by card, request an invoice, or mail a check.
Automated reminder emails go to unpaid buyers on the schedule your show selects. No chasing down checks on your end.
Complete, accounting-ready outputs — student recognition lists, chapter summaries, donor exports, invoice generators, and clean records for bookkeeping.
Auditable by design.
TradeCraft's platform is built to protect your organization and your donors. Every dollar is traceable. Every submission is timestamped. Every account is separated.

Automatic confirmation emails sent to donors upon payment — with non-tax language as standard, or customized language if your show requires it.

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, sends automated buyer notifications, 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 hours. 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.
