Everything that goes into a live auction platform
We break the build into six focused services. Together they become a complete, launch-ready auction site.
The services behind every build
Each card is one focused part of the platform. Open any service to see exactly what it covers.
Auction Platform & Plugin Setup
A production-ready auction platform installed, themed and configured around your catalog and rules.
- Platform & auction plugin installation on your hosting
- Catalog import — lots, images, descriptions, reserve and start prices
- Auction types configured: timed, proxy and buy-now
Bid Engine & Anti-Sniping Rules
Bid increments, proxy bidding and anti-sniping extensions tuned so every auction closes fairly.
- Tiered bid-increment tables by price band
- Proxy / automatic bidding thresholds
- Anti-sniping time extensions with configurable windows
Stripe Escrow Payment Integration
Funds held securely on Stripe and released on fulfilment — buyers and sellers both protected.
- Stripe Connect onboarding for sellers
- Escrow hold on auction close, release on fulfilment
- Platform fee and commission split configuration
Real-Time Seller Dashboard
A live seller dashboard with a WebSocket bid feed that updates the instant a bid lands.
- WebSocket bid feed — live updates with no page reload

- Auction countdown and closing-soon highlights
Email & SMS Bid Alerts
Outbid, winning and closing-soon alerts delivered by email and SMS to keep bidders engaged.

- Pre-launch checklist with sign-off items
The difference a specialist build makes
Standing up a live auction platform on your own means months of trial and error. Here is what changes when we handle the build.
Wiring it together yourself
- Researching and stitching together auction plugins
- Tuning bid increments and anti-sniping by trial and error
- Wiring Stripe escrow, fees and payouts from scratch
- Building real-time feeds and notifications yourself
- No documentation — the knowledge lives in your head
- Weeks of debugging before you can safely launch
The done-for-you build
- One platform configured around your catalog and rules
- Bid engine and anti-sniping tuned and test-verified
- Stripe escrow, fees and payouts wired into the order lifecycle
- Real-time seller dashboard and email & SMS alerts built in
- Full launch pack — docs, payment flow report and Loom walkthrough
- A launch-ready site delivered as one clean project
Every plan bundles the right mix of these workstreams — you don't buy them individually.
