Your Auctions, Your Brand, Your Rules
Your Domain, Your Brand
Run auctions on your own custom domain with full white-label branding. Your logo, your colors, your voice — bidders see your brand, not ours. Match your site's look with dark or light themes and custom accent colors.

Set Your Own Fees
Configure your buyer's premium exactly how you want. Set a percentage of the final bid (e.g., 5%), plus minimum and maximum fee caps. Example: 5% with $250 min and $7,500 max — you control the economics.

Live Bidding via WebSocket
Bidders see updates instantly with real-time WebSocket connections. Current bid, bid count, time remaining — all update live without page refreshes. Creates exciting auction experiences that drive higher final bids.

Snipe Protection
Prevent last-second sniping with automatic time extensions. When a bid comes in during the final 2 minutes, the auction automatically extends — giving all bidders a fair chance. Configure the window and extension duration to your preference.

No-Bid Auto-Extension
Don't let auctions end without bids. Enable auto-extension to automatically extend auctions that receive no bids before ending. Set how many days to extend and the maximum number of extensions — keep your inventory live until it sells.

Direct Payouts
Payments go directly to your Stripe Connect account. Collect buyer's premium, process payment holds, and receive payouts directly — no middleman. Full support for credit cards and ACH transfers.

Verified Bidders
Bidders authenticate with their phone number via SMS verification. This ensures real, verified users are placing bids. Require payment method on file before bidding to prevent non-serious bidders from disrupting your auctions.

Rich Vehicle Details
Display full vehicle galleries with lightbox viewing. Show all the details: year, make, model, mileage, transmission, engine, colors, VIN, and rich descriptions. Give bidders all the information they need to bid with confidence.
