WARNING

WARNING The above example QR Code should not be used with your organization's event. This QR Code links to an Auctria Demo auction. You will need to use the QR Code found on your Auction Website Dashboard to share with your guests.

Preferred Domain

Once you have Set The Website Address, you will then have the option of changing to another Preferred Domain to use. This domain will be used for the display as needed throughout your auction website as well as any system notifications that include your auction website address.

There are a number of Preferred Domain options to choose from; and, you can change to a different one that is offered by Auctria at any time... we will always be considering, and adding, more in the future.

INFORMATION

If you do change the Preferred Domain you are using it will affect all places where the auction website address is displayed on the website as well as any place it is communicated going forward although any references to the previous Preferred Domain will still take your guests to the correct website... including the QR Code above.
