Marketplace Software for Auctioneers
Our auction marketplace software is intuitive and easy to use, providing a seamless experience for buyers and sellers. With customisable workflows, listing items is straightforward, allowing users to register and start participating on the platform quickly.
Flexible enough to support multiple listing types, including single item auction, multi-lot featured or collector auctions, buy-now, and make-offer options, with or without reserve prices. Users can leave maximum bids that are automatically executed, and built-in anti-sniping features extend bids to keep the competition fair.
Our integration with Stripe Identity enables robust KYC/AML checks on all buyers and sellers when they make their first listing or bid, ensuring a secure environment. Admins can also moderate listings before they go live, adding an extra layer of control.
Our marketplace software includes powerful features to enhance engagement, including peer-to-peer messaging, automated emails covering listing, bidding, invoicing, and payments, as well as a post-transaction rating system. Daily alerts notify bidders of new items that match their preferences, keeping users engaged and informed.
Through our partnership with Stripe Connect, the platform manages secure payments in and out, with automatic dispersal of platform fees. Pay-by-bank options are available to reduce processing fees, and Stripe also handles DAC7 reporting requirements. The escrow functionality provides a trusted experience by releasing funds to vendors only when buyers confirm satisfaction, streamlining the dispute resolution process.
Built with a modular approach, the platform supports custom development to meet your unique needs. Our advanced reporting tools allow for custom report creation and data exports, supporting VAT and DAC7 compliance and providing insights into platform performance.
Supported by our knowledgeable, proactive team, you’ll receive expert guidance through the onboarding process and ongoing support to ensure long-term success. With our marketplace software, you’ll have a complete, flexible solution designed to scale with your auction business.

Empower Your Peer-to-Peer Marketplace with Seamless Listing Tools
Our auction marketplace software is designed to make the listing process as easy as possible for peer-to-peer sellers. Fully optimised for both desktop and mobile, our intuitive tools enable users to list items effortlessly, adding media, reserves, pricing, and shipping fees. Sellers can proof a draft and set items to a published state with a custom end date/time within the next 30 days. They also have control over listing durations, with auto-relisting options for unsold items to maximise visibility.
With secure Stripe integration, sellers register a card at sign-up, ensuring listing and reserve fees are collected automatically before items go live. Regular sellers with positive feedback can achieve Super Seller status, unlocking bulk listing tools to streamline their processes and help grow the platform even faster.
Streamlined Platform Payments with Embedded Stripe Integration
Processing payments on peer-to-peer platforms can be challenging, especially with high transaction values. To simplify this, we’ve partnered with Stripe to embed their powerful Connect system directly into our platform.
When sellers register, they are prompted to set up a connected selling account, allowing them to receive proceeds from sales directly and securely. Buyers, meanwhile, pay invoices via Stripe’s pay-by-link open banking option, enabling large transactions to be processed with a minimal £5 fee. This significantly reduces costs compared to traditional card processing, saving money for both platform owners and users.
With Stripe Connect’s escrow functionality, buyers can confirm receipt of goods before funds are released to the seller, enhancing trust and transparency. Platform fees are seamlessly directed to your connected account as part of each transaction, eliminating off-platform payment risks and ensuring all payments stay within the marketplace.
This integration simplifies the transactional process, reduces fees, and provides a trusted payment experience for buyers and sellers, empowering your marketplace to operate smoothly and cost-effectively.
User Engagement and Communication
Effective communication is at the heart of our auction marketplace software, making it easy for buyers and sellers to stay informed and engaged. Our platform includes robust, user-friendly messaging tools that keep communication clear and accessible, whether users are listing, bidding, or finalising transactions.
With built-in automated notifications for key events—such as new listings, bid updates, invoice generation, and payment confirmations—users receive timely updates at every stage. Peer-to-peer messaging allows buyers and sellers to connect directly, while automated reminders and alerts ensure no important action is missed.
Our daily alert system helps keep bidders engaged by notifying them of new items that match their preferences, driving higher participation and return visits. Designed with simplicity and engagement in mind, these communication tools create a connected, user-centric marketplace experience that enhances trust and boosts interaction.
Triggered Emails
Our platform includes a powerful, out-of-the-box automated messaging system that keeps users informed and engaged at every stage of their auction journey. With branded, triggered emails, users receive timely updates on all key events, enhancing transparency, trust, and user satisfaction.
Key communications include:
• User Registration Status: Instant confirmation and updates on registration status, making onboarding seamless for new users.
• Selling Status Notifications: Alerts to sellers on the status of their listings, from initial setup to final sale.
• Listing Published: Notification when a seller’s item is live, confirming visibility on the marketplace.
• Bid Confirmation and Outbid Alerts: Real-time notifications for bid confirmations and outbid alerts keep buyers actively engaged in auctions.
• Bid Reduction Notices: Alerts when a bid is adjusted, ensuring transparency in bid changes.
• Winning Bid Confirmation: Immediate notifications to successful bidders when they win an item.
• Invoice for Payment: Automated invoice generation for winning bidders, simplifying the payment process.
• Payment Received and Goods Release: Payment confirmation and details on next steps for releasing goods to the buyer, fostering a smooth transaction experience.

• Seller Proceeds Released: Notifications to sellers when funds are released, providing peace of mind post-transaction.
• Daily Item Alerts: Customisable alerts for bidders, notifying them of new listings matching their preferences to drive engagement and return visits.
This suite of automated communications ensures that all users (buyers and sellers alike) stay informed and confident throughout their interactions on the platform. By delivering these critical messages at every key touchpoint, our system supports a user-friendly, connected, and fully branded marketplace experience.
