System Update: Late April 2026

We update the fundraising platform biweekly. Keep reading for a selection of the new features, enhancements, and bug fixes in the latest update.

Features and Enhancements ✨

Auctions

Several auction enhancements help you check in attendees faster.

  • If you select the At Check-In option in your auction settings, attendees now get a bidder number only when event staff assign them one at check in, even if attendees add a payment method or bid online. This also means bidders who aren’t attending the live event don’t get a bidder number if you select the At Check-In option.

    • When you check in an attendee who doesn’t have a bidder number or payment method, and you select Checkin + Setup, you now manually assign a bidder number. You must enter a number that isn’t already assigned to someone else.

  • In the Virtual Terminal, when you select bidders to bulk unassign bidder numbers, that selection now also includes bidders with bid or purchase activity.

  • You can now change an attendee’s bidder number even if they have bid or purchase activity.

  • To view only attendees without bidder numbers, you can select the new No Bidder Number filter.

  • In the Attendees list, attendees without bidder numbers now appear last in the list. If you change the sort order to descending bidder number, attendees without bidder numbers now appear first.

In the Givi app:

  • If an attendee doesn’t have a bidder number, and they tap the purple circle, Givi immediately shows the attendee’s QR code.

Other Features and Enhancements

  • Giving+ customers must contact our Customer Experience team directly to add or manage outbound text, peer-to-peer, and auctions add-on packages to their Bloomerang Fundraising plans.

  • You can now link unique Facebook merchant accounts to individual peer-to-peer forms within the same organization. Different chapters or programs in an organization can route funds to specific accounts, and fundraisers created from a specific form link to the correct account.

  • Tooltip design is more consistent across desktop and mobile devices.

  • To improve accessibility, we updated the color of donation form text to meet a higher level of WCAG standards for contrast ratios.

Fixes 🛠️

  • For donation forms with event banners and the events list as the default page, invoice receipt links now direct registrants to the invoice fulfillment page instead of the events list.

  • The %EventFields% tag now correctly populates event fields on receipts for all events.

  • If no tickets are available for a public auction, and a registrant tries to register, the display message now shows the admin-customized text for Registration Closed Message from Event Builder, instead of a standard message.

  • If an auction has no auction items, the auction home page now displays event information correctly instead of showing a permanent loading spinner.

  • When a peer-to-peer participant shares their fundraising page on X and closes the “Share on X” window in the Welcome Quest, the Welcome Quest now marks the sharing step as complete.

  • On peer-to-peer fundraising pages, text pledges not attributed to a participant no longer appear in participants’ supporters widgets. Participants see only the text pledges attributed specifically to them.
