AuctionMethod
AuctionMethod provides all-in-one auction software designed for professional auctioneers, estate liquidators, equipment sellers, and organizations that run auctions across a wide range of asset types.
The platform offers two paths to fit different business needs. The cloud-based auction software is a plug-and-play solution with flat monthly pricing, no commissions, and no per-lot fees. Most teams go live within days. It covers the full auction workflow: catalog and lot management, consignor setup, bidder registration, timed online and simulcast auctions, invoicing, payment processing, tax handling, reporting, and analytics. Everything runs under the client's own brand on a fully white-labeled website with a custom domain.
For larger firms and complex operations, AuctionMethod offers custom auction software development. Starting from a proven auction core, the team builds outward around specific processes, asset types, integrations, and edge cases — without off-the-shelf compromises.
Key capabilities include:
- Multiple auction formats: Timed Online, Simulcast, Blind Timed, Fixed-Price/Perpetual, Catalog-Only, and Single-Use auctions
- Mobile apps for auctioneers, bidders, cataloging, and checkout
- Built-in invoicing, automated payments, sales tax calculation, reseller tax-exemption support, and chargeback mitigation
- Consignor portal with commission calculations and automatic statements
- Integrations with payment gateways (Fiserv/CardConnect, Stripe, Authorize.net, eWay), email marketing, analytics, shipping, tax automation, accessibility tools, and CMS platforms
- 100% uptime guarantee backed by AWS-based infrastructure with encrypted data, redundant hosting, and daily backups
- Full data ownership — bidder, consignor, and auction data always belongs to the client
AuctionMethod serves auction businesses in estate liquidation, farm and heavy equipment, industrial surplus, salvage and recycling, non-profit fundraising, retail liquidation, corporate surplus, real estate, auto, and arts and collectibles. Support is U.S.-based with direct phone access.
