Live Auctions, Your Brand, Your Website
Pocket today announced the launch of AuctionOS™ on custom hosted websites, enabling organizations to run fully branded live auctions directly on their own domains with real-time bidding, Stripe Connect payouts, and complete auction lifecycle management.
This release represents a major expansion of Pocket’s decentralized commerce vision — giving auction houses, dealerships, and collectors the ability to host professional-grade auctions without relying on third-party marketplace platforms.
How It Works
AuctionOS is now fully integrated into Pocket’s Custom Hosted Sites architecture. Organizations can:
- Host live auctions on their own branded websites with custom domains and themes
- Accept real-time bids via WebSocket connections for instant, lag-free bidding experiences
- Process payouts through Stripe Connect with automatic seller settlements
- Manage the full auction lifecycle from lot creation to hammer price to post-sale settlement
Every auction runs natively on the organization’s hosted site, maintaining full brand consistency and customer ownership throughout the experience.
Why It Matters
Traditional auction platforms charge steep commissions and control the customer relationship. With AuctionOS on hosted sites, operators keep 100% of their brand presence and pay only standard Stripe processing fees — no marketplace middlemen, no buyer’s premiums going to a platform.
For collectors and enthusiasts, this means a more direct, transparent buying experience on the sites they already trust.
Built on Pocket’s Hosted Sites Platform
AuctionOS leverages the same hosted sites infrastructure that powers Pocket’s showroom websites, meaning organizations get SEO-optimized pages, mobile-responsive layouts, and integrated analytics out of the box.
