# Auctify — Complete Product Reference

> Auctify is an auction site builder SaaS that lets companies, auction houses, charities and schools launch and run their own branded auction websites with zero commissions and no listing fees. Founded in 2000, used by 4,000+ customers worldwide — companies, auction houses, charities and schools.

## Company

- **Legal name:** Auctify B.V.
- **Founded:** 2000, in May, as the sole proprietorship Eastern Unity; incorporated as Auctify B.V. in 2023

- **History:** 2000 founded in May as the sole proprietorship Eastern Unity, building e-commerce software. 2015 narrowed exclusively to online auction software, from the start at zero commission on customers' sales; Easy.Auction (https://www.easy.auction/) was the first auction platform: more than 3 million auctions held for customers in 35+ countries, 4.5/5 on Capterra from 64 reviews, listed on GetApp, Software Advice and SourceForge. Auctify is the successor to Easy.Auction (same team, same zero-commission model); Easy.Auction stays online for existing customers, accepts no new subscriptions, and sends new customers to the Auctify free trial. Two of the three testimonials on the Auctify homepage (Kurt, Healey's Auction Services; Amber, Redstone Highlands) were collected on Easy.Auction; the third (Steven T.) is a review of Auctify itself on Capterra. 2020 AuctionsNearMe.com became part of the company. 2021 Auctify.com acquired and the current auction site builder built on it. 2023 the sole proprietorship is incorporated as Auctify B.V. (KvK 92337139).

## Key facts

The same ten facts are rendered as a table on every commercial page, every niche page and every guide (section id `key-facts`), in all 20 languages.

- **Company:** Auctify B.V., a Dutch company (Chamber of Commerce no. 92337139). Auction software since 2015, the successor to Easy.Auction, used by 4,000+ customers worldwide.
- **Price:** flat monthly plans from $49 (EUR 49 in the eurozone). Zero commission on sales, no listing fees. 7-day free trial, no credit card required.
- **Payments:** winners pay on the customer's own site by card through the customer's own Stripe account, by PayPal, or by bank transfer. The money goes straight to the site owner; it never passes through Auctify.
- **Languages:** the auction site and its emails in any of 20 languages: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese (Brazil and Portugal), Polish, Czech, Danish, Finnish, Hungarian, Norwegian, Swedish, Turkish, Indonesian, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. The auctify.com pages exist in the same 20 languages (`?lang=xx`).
- **Privacy:** Auctify is established in the European Union, so the GDPR governs how bidder and seller data is handled.

- **Who can bid:** open to everyone, or invite-only behind an access code. Every account confirms its email first; a saved card can be required before bidding; anyone can be suspended in one click.
- **Auction formats:** timed auctions with soft close, automatic and absentee bidding, reserve prices, Buy Now, Make an Offer and second-chance offers to the underbidder. Dutch auctions and reverse (procurement) auctions as well.

- **Reach:** every running lot gets its own page on AuctionsNearMe.com, with its photo, a live countdown and a pin on the map. Included, nothing to set up.

## Product Overview

Auctify is a fully hosted, no-code, white-label auction site builder. Customers get their own branded auction website on their own custom domain. The platform handles hosting, security, payments, and auction logic — no technical skills required. A customer can go from sign-up to live auction in minutes.

### What Makes Auctify Different

| Feature | Auctify | Marketplace Platforms (eBay, HiBid, etc.) |
|---|---|---|
| Commission per sale | $0 | 5–15% |
| Listing fees | None | Per item |
| Your own brand | White-label (a small "Powered by Auctify" footer line on Starter only) | Their branding |
| Custom domain | Included | Not available |
| Pricing model | Flat monthly fee | Commission + fees |

## Features

### Auction Types
- **Forward Auctions** — Standard ascending-price auctions
- **Dutch Auctions** — Descending-price auctions: the price falls on a schedule and the first buyer to accept it takes the lot
- **Reverse Auctions** — For procurement (buying from suppliers): an ascending price clock that starts so low no supplier is willing to transact, then rises until the first supplier agrees to supply at the current price, which ends the auction. The buyer shares the reverse auction page with the suppliers they want to take part
- **Reserve Price Auctions** — Minimum price protection; bidders see whether the reserve is met
- **Buy Now / Fixed Price** — A lot can carry a Buy Now price, or disable bidding entirely and sell at a fixed price
- **Soft Close (anti-sniping)** — A bid placed in the final moments automatically extends the auction end time, and keeps extending on every late bid, so the lot stays open until bidding truly settles; the trigger window and extension are configurable
- **Automatic (proxy) bidding** — Bidders leave a sealed maximum and the site places the minimum needed on their behalf; maximums are never revealed
- **Absentee bids** — A bidder who cannot attend the close leaves a maximum in advance and the site bids on their behalf up to it, the same engine that drives proxy bidding; the commission book, kept automatically
- **Configurable bid increments** — Percentage-based increment bands per price range
- **Scheduling** — Lots can be scheduled to open later and are browsable as "upcoming"; live countdowns without page reloads

### Payments
- Built-in Stripe integration
- Built-in PayPal integration
- Bank transfer / offline payment supported (winner sees the seller's bank details, seller marks the payment received)
- Winners pay at a checkout on the seller's own site, with the optional buyer's premium and post-sale shipping fee added to the hammer price — a checkout, not billing or invoicing; tax invoices remain the seller's to issue
- Buyer's premium (a percentage) and a shipping fee are set per lot by the seller and added to the hammer price at checkout. The premium belongs to the site owner; Auctify never takes a share of a sale
- **Second chance offers** — A forward lot that closes BELOW its reserve is not a dead end: the seller sees the lot's bid ladder and can send one offer to a bidder who took part, at that bidder's own bid or less, never more. Accepting opens the same checkout a win would, payable by card, PayPal, bank transfer or the centralized checkout. Amounts are frozen on the offer, there is one live offer per lot, and the feature is on by default with an admin kill switch
- **Make an Offer** — Off on every site until the owner switches it on under Settings > Auction rules. Forward lots only, and only lots with no bid and no absentee maximum; the moment a lot takes a bid or a maximum, offers waiting on it are cancelled and the buyers told. A lot takes offers for 14 days after it ends unsold; per lot, the seller can also allow offers while it runs, until its first bid. Offers are binding; the public sees "Offers welcome" and "Sold", never amounts or counts. The seller accepts, declines or counters once, and the buyer can take or decline a counter. Accepting closes the lot at once and fixes what the winner pays at checkout (the offer plus the lot's buyer's premium and shipping), payable by card, PayPal, bank transfer or the centralized checkout; three days to pay with a reminder after two; only the seller can release an unpaid sale, after which the lot can be relisted for its original length. Limits: a public floor of 30% of the start price (or the Buy Now price on a Buy-Now-only lot), one open offer per buyer per lot, three per listing, five open per buyer, twenty open per lot, a 24-hour wait after a decline, daily caps per account and per connection, and an optional private minimum that declines lower offers automatically without showing the figure. An unpaid release is a strike (a card on file is then required to offer), two strikes in 90 days revoke offers, ten fruitless offers in a row pause them for a week; on a lot that requires a card on file, an offer from a buyer without one cannot be accepted. The seller is mailed the first offer and each new highest offer at once, the rest bundled hourly, capped at 20 a day with a morning summary
- Bidders pay directly on the customer's site
- Customer keeps 100% of the sale amount
- Optional card-on-file requirement: a lot can require bidders to save a verified card before bidding

### Multi-Seller Marketplace
- Let third-party sellers register on your auction site (open to all signups, or granted per user)
- Charge sellers for yearly listing plans you price yourself (a lot quota, or unlimited); a seller buys another year when a plan runs out
- Create tiered pricing plans for sellers, with listing quotas enforced automatically
- Automated payment collection via Stripe or PayPal
- Two ways for buyer money to flow, chosen by one switch in the admin: **centralized checkout** — every buyer pays the site once for everything they won, across sellers, and the owner settles with each seller afterwards (one payment per currency: a buyer who owes in two currencies settles each separately, so a USD balance can never be cleared with a JPY payment); or **seller-direct** — each seller is paid straight into their own Stripe, PayPal or bank account and the site never holds the money. Partial payment is allowed on a centralized balance; a buyer can never pay more than they owe
- Per-seller storefront pages: logo, bio, social links and all of that seller's lots
- Full admin control over seller permissions and pricing

### AI & SEO
- The site publishes its live lots as Schema.org structured data (Product entries with price, currency and availability)
- That machine-readable feed is what lets ChatGPT, Gemini, Google and other AI search engines read what is for sale
- Canonical URLs and Open Graph tags on the homepage and every lot page; images auto-converted to WebP

### AuctionsNearMe Integration ("Distribution included", https://auctify.com/features.php#distribution)
- AuctionsNearMe.com is the auction discovery site run by the company behind Auctify; it also indexes 2,500+ auction houses across 60+ regions
- Included in every plan, nothing to set up: once a site is live and its lots have a location, each running lot is sent to AuctionsNearMe automatically
- Each lot gets its own AuctionsNearMe page (https://auctionsnearme.com/lot/{id}) with its photo, a live countdown to the close, the lot location and a button that takes bidders to the seller's own site to bid
- The lot page carries schema.org SaleEvent, Offer and Product data, plus Markdown and JSON versions of the lot (/lot/{id}.md, /lot/{id}.json) for AI assistants
- New and changed lot pages are submitted through IndexNow (used by Bing and other search engines) within minutes of publishing and listed in the AuctionsNearMe lot sitemap
- Lots appear on the AuctionsNearMe map, in the live-auctions panel on its homepage and in its upcoming-auctions list
- This describes what is published, not an outcome: no rankings, traffic or number of bidders are promised

### Customization
- White-label: your brand, logo, colors, fonts; on Starter a small "Powered by Auctify" line in the footer is the only Auctify branding, and Pro and Enterprise sites carry none
- Ready-made themes to start from, each with its own font pairing and palette
- Custom font upload (.ttf/.otf/.woff/.woff2)
- Custom domain support (or free myauctify.com subdomain)
- Direct CSS editing for advanced customization
- Every text on the site is editable in every language from the admin; legal pages and custom pages can be added
- Your auction site looks like yours, not Auctify's

### Getting Started
- Owner dashboard with a setup checklist that reads the site’s actual state — logo uploaded, first lot listed, first bidder registered — rather than boxes the owner ticks; each step links straight to the screen that completes it
- CSV bulk import: upload a spreadsheet and create forward-auction lots in one pass, up to 100 rows per file, with a row-by-row preview and validation before anything is written (imported lots count against the monthly lot allowance like any other)
- Drag-and-drop lot photos, including a post-import pass that attaches pictures to lots created from a CSV; each image is converted to WebP automatically
- Bidder invitations: send personal invite links by email to buyers you already know and see who has accepted — they register on your site, so they remain your bidders, not a shared pool
- Practice sale: a private test auction against a scripted rival bidder, so an owner can place a bid, be outbid and watch a lot close before listing anything real
- Owner notifications: email to the site owner on a lot’s first bid, on each new bidder registration and when a sale closes — separate from the outbid/win emails that go to bidders

### Platform
- Fully hosted — no server management needed
- Secure cloud hosting included in all plans
- Mobile-friendly / responsive design
- 20 languages supported (bidder-facing UI **and** transactional emails, each sent in the recipient's own language): English, Czech, Danish, German, Spanish, French, Indonesian, Italian, Korean, Hungarian, Dutch, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Portuguese (Portugal), Finnish, Swedish, Turkish, Simplified Chinese, Japanese
- Email-verified bidder accounts; suspend any user in one click; optional reCAPTCHA on registration
- Private, invite-only site mode: listings hidden behind an access code
- Watchlists for bidders; lot pages update prices, bid counts and countdowns live without reloading
- Watched-lot alerts: saving a lot subscribes the bidder to email — before the lot closes (all auction types) and, on forward auctions, when it takes its first bid and when it reaches its reserve. Three independent settings, all on by default, one mail per bidder per lot per event, and a one-click unsubscribe link plus List-Unsubscribe headers on every message
- Up to 5 photos per lot, auto-rotated, resized and converted to WebP; optional manifest file (CSV/XLS) per lot for pallet sales
- Categories with subcategories, site-wide search, public bid history per lot
- Automated scheduling, configurable bid increments, and auction timers
- Promotion kit: a widget for the seller's own website (floating, horizontal, vertical or skyscraper; one line of code), post images for Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp (square and story, per sale and per lot), a printable A4 poster with scan-to-bid QR lot cards, and an email banner that is a plain image. Made from the site's live and upcoming lots, in the site's own language; the images show when bidding closes or opens, never a price. Opened from the site's dashboard, on https://auctionamigo.com/ (run by Auctify; no extra account, available in the same 20 languages)
- Unsold lots can be relisted for free — a relist never counts against the monthly lot allowance

## Pricing

All plans include: zero commission, no listing fees, cancel anytime, 7-day free trial, no credit card required. Every auction feature is on every plan; the plans differ only in the monthly lot allowance, the footer line and two Enterprise extras: bidder emails sent in the customer's own name and the option to accept bidders only from the email domains they allow.

- Up to 200 auction lots per month

- No "Powered by Auctify" footer line

### Enterprise — $299/month
- Unlimited auction lots, every month — no per-calendar-month cap at all, where Starter and Pro cap the lots created in a month
- Everything in Pro
- Bidder emails sent in your name: the sender your bidders see is your site, not Auctify (the address stays noreply@auctify.com)
- The option to accept bidders only from the email domains you allow (company-only bidding, when you want it)

### Payment Methods
- Stripe (credit/debit cards)
- PayPal
- Seller plans run for a year and do not renew automatically: the seller buys again from their account page to continue

## Use Cases

Nine of these have a dedicated landing page and a pre-configured trial: choose one at
signup and the site arrives set up for that trade, seeded with example lots.

### Art Auctions  (https://auctify.com/art/)
Galleries, artists, dealers and collectors selling paintings, prints, sculpture and works on paper. Timed auctions with reserves and soft close; bidders register and accept the site's terms, and a lot can require a card on file before bidding.

### Heavy Equipment & Machinery  (https://auctify.com/equipment/)
Dealers, contractors, plant hire and farm sales moving excavators, tractors, forklifts and attachments. Condition reports and photo-heavy lots.

### Estate & Downsizing  (https://auctify.com/estate/)
Estate agents, probate specialists and clearance firms selling house contents to the public. High lot counts, fast turnaround.

### Charity & Fundraising  (https://auctify.com/charity/)
Schools, nonprofits and foundations running benefit galas, school fundraisers and silent auctions. Easy setup, no technical skills needed.

### Antiques & Collectibles  (https://auctify.com/antiques/)
Saleroom and online dealers in furniture, ceramics, silver, clocks and collectables.

### Liquidation & Surplus  (https://auctify.com/liquidation/)
Retailers, wholesalers and e-commerce brands clearing pallets, truckloads, customer returns and closure stock. Sold B2B by the lot rather than by the item.

### Livestock & Animals  (https://auctify.com/livestock/)
Breeders, clubs and sale barns selling poultry, pigeons, waterfowl, cattle, sheep, goats, equine and aquatics. Breed, age, sex, testing and vaccination go in the lot description; movement paperwork and welfare compliance remain the seller's responsibility, not Auctify's.

### Vehicles & Automobiles  (https://auctify.com/vehicles/)
Dealers, fleet and lease disposal, salvage yards and classic specialists selling cars, vans, commercials, motorcycles and non-runners. Mileage, service history, keys, test and title status per lot. Distinct from heavy equipment: road vehicles sold on documents, not plant sold on hours.

### Real Estate & Property  (https://auctify.com/property/)
Estate agents, realtors, property auctioneers and asset managers selling residential, land, commercial, tenanted investments, garages and fractional shares. The legal pack, searches and tenancy schedule are linked from the lot description (lots carry photos plus an optional CSV/XLS manifest; other documents are linked, not uploaded). Auctify runs the auction and records the winning bid only — it is not a conveyancer, escrow agent or broker, and contracts, deposits, client money, AML checks and completion stay with the seller and their solicitor. Distinct from Estate & Downsizing, which is house *contents*, not real property.

### Farm & Agricultural Machinery  (https://auctify.com/farm-machinery/)
Family farms holding a retirement or dispersal sale, agricultural machinery dealers clearing trade-ins, auctioneers who run farm sales, and co-ops disposing of a fleet. Combines, balers, seed drills, telehandlers and the whole yard, catalogued with hours and serial numbers in the lot description. Added 2026-09-12. Distinct from Heavy Equipment & Machinery, which is plant sold on hours to a contractor — excavators, forklifts, plant hire — and from Livestock & Animals, which is animals. Like the three below, it has a landing page but no pre-configured starting point of its own: a trial started from it ships from the closest existing seed.

### Wine & Whisky  (https://auctify.com/wine-whisky/)
Wine merchants, private collections, distilleries, wineries and specialist auction houses selling fine wine, rare whisky and spirits. Vintage, bottle size, fill level, storage history and provenance go in the lot description; a mixed parcel can carry a CSV/XLS/XLSX manifest. Auctify does not verify the seller's alcohol licence, bidders' age or the rules on shipping alcohol — those stay with the seller. The bidder controls that do exist: registration requires accepting the site's own terms of use, a lot can require a card on file before bidding, and private mode hides the sale behind an access code. Added 2026-09-18; a trial started from it ships from the antiques & collectibles seed.

### Jewelry & Gemstones  (https://auctify.com/jewelry/)
Jewelers, gem dealers, estate and vintage buyers and auction houses selling rings, watches, loose stones and estate jewelry. Carat, colour, clarity, cut, metal and hallmarks go in the lot description with up to five photographs; a GIA/IGI grading report is linked to the lab's own report page (or photographed), not uploaded as a file. Card-on-file per lot, soft close and absentee bidding apply. Added 2026-09-18; a trial started from it ships from the antiques & collectibles seed.

### Pawnshops  (https://auctify.com/pawnshop/)
Independent pawnbrokers, pawn chains, gold and watch buyers and second-hand dealers selling unredeemed pledges — gold, watches, electronics, tools and instruments — often for collection from the shop. Each branch can be a seller with its own storefront on one multi-seller site. The notice owed to the borrower, the waiting period and any surplus over the loan are set by local law and stay with the pawnbroker; Auctify runs the sale only. Added 2026-09-18; a trial started from it ships from the general seed.

### Also common (no dedicated page)
Corporate asset disposal (office equipment, IT infrastructure); specialty goods such as sneakers; and multi-seller marketplaces where the operator earns recurring revenue from seller subscriptions.

## What Auctify Is Not

- **Not a marketplace.** You do not list items on Auctify.com. You get your own auction site on your own domain with your own bidders — there is no shared buyer pool and no cross-selling to other sellers' listings. AuctionsNearMe.com adds discovery on top, but the sale happens on your site.
- **Not a commission model.** Auctify never takes a percentage of a sale, at any plan level.
- **Not self-hosted.** Fully hosted and managed; there is no on-premise download or installer.
- **Not a native mobile app.** Bidder and admin interfaces are responsive web, not App Store / Play Store apps.
- **Not a payment processor.** Payments run through your own Stripe and PayPal accounts; funds go to you directly, not via Auctify.
- **Not an invoicing or accounting system.** Auctify calculates and collects what each winner owes; formal (tax) invoices and bookkeeping remain with the seller.

- [Auction Formats: Timed, Dutch and Reverse Auctions, and When to Use Each](https://auctify.com/guides/auction-formats/) — the three formats side by side (timed: bids rise, highest bidder at the close wins; Dutch: the price falls on a clock from a start price to a floor and the first buyer to accept it wins; reverse: for buying, the price rises on a clock to a ceiling and the first supplier to accept it supplies at that price), which goods and situations each fits, how to set the start price, floor or ceiling and the clock, and which features belong to the timed auction only (soft close, automatic and absentee bidding, Buy Now, Make an Offer, second chance). A reverse auction fixes a price and emails both sides; payment and contract are settled outside the site.

## Customer Testimonials

- **Steven T., Senior Auctioneer, AppraisalCanada-LegalEASE** (5/5, Auctify's own Capterra listing, 2026-09-10 — https://www.capterra.com/p/10029444/Auctify/): "The tools and layout are the best I've seen in all my professional years in the business. Well done! I would highly recommend to all our students and partners in the industry." This is the first review on Auctify's own listing, which shows 5.0 from 1 review; the 4.5/5 from 64 reviews belongs to Easy.Auction, not Auctify.
- **Kurt, Healey's Auction Services** (5/5): "Best online auction software on the market for the money. I searched for over 3 years and tried 5-6 different programs. Glad I did."
- **Amber, Redstone Highlands (900 employees)** (5/5): "The auction went so well! Everyone loved using the site. We had bidding wars. Nothing but compliments on how fun and easy it was."

## Example Customer Sites

Live auction sites running on Auctify. These are the sites currently passing the
twice-hourly health check, which is also what decides the cards shown on the homepage and
the About page — a site is hidden automatically if it stops responding, reports itself
suspended, or has fewer than four live lots on its landing page. The roster is larger than
this list: what appears here is whatever is healthy at the time of writing, so treat the
set as illustrative rather than exhaustive, and do not infer a customer count from it.

- [GSA Silent Auction](https://gsa-auktion.myauctify.com) — charity silent auction
- [BestPigeons](https://bestpigeons.myauctify.com) — racing pigeon auctions
- [MHCW Benefietveiling](https://mhcw.myauctify.com) — charity benefit auction
- [Ivey Estate Auctions](https://iveyestate.myauctify.com) — estate liquidation auctions

## Frequently Asked Questions

**What happens after the 7-day free trial?**
You pick a plan to continue. No surprise charges, and no credit card is taken up front. If you don't choose a plan, the site is PAUSED rather than deleted: it is suspended on day 7 and kept for 3 days after that, and the trial-ended email carries a one-click link that reactivates it with every lot, bidder and branding intact. Termination happens when those 3 days are up (day 10 from signup).

**Do I need technical skills?**
No. Auctify is fully hosted and managed. You can launch your first auction within minutes, no coding required.

**Can I use my own domain name?**
Yes. Connect any custom domain to your Auctify site, or use a free myauctify.com subdomain.

**Do you take a commission on my sales?**
No. Auctify charges zero commission. You pay a flat monthly fee and keep everything you earn.

**What payment gateways do you integrate with?**
Stripe and PayPal out of the box. Your bidders can pay directly on your site — you keep 100% of the sale.

**Can I customize the look of my auction site?**
Yes. Change your colors, fonts, logo, and even edit the CSS directly. Your auction site looks like yours, not ours.

**Can I run a multi-seller marketplace?**
Yes. You can let sellers register on your site, charge them subscriptions, and earn recurring revenue. Payments are handled automatically via Stripe or PayPal.

**Do you charge overage fees?**
No. If you need more lots than your plan includes, you can upgrade anytime.

**When does my lot allowance reset?**
Each month.

**Can I downgrade later?**
Yes — month-to-month flexibility.

**Do you protect against last-second bid sniping?**
Yes. With soft close, any bid placed in the final moments of an auction automatically extends the end time. It keeps extending on every late bid, so the lot stays open until bidding truly settles — fairer for buyers and better final prices for sellers.

**How does the AuctionsNearMe integration work?**
Once your site is live and your lots have a location, each running lot is sent to AuctionsNearMe.com automatically. It gets its own page there with its photo, a live countdown and a link to bid on your site, and a pin on the AuctionsNearMe map. It is included in every plan, with nothing to set up.

  VAT identifiers, the 20 languages served, and `owns` → AuctionsNearMe.
- `https://auctify.com/#software` — SoftwareApplication: description, the full 51-item
  featureList, the three plan Offers (monthly, tax-inclusive, currency matching the
  locale of the page), and the customer ratings. Identical on every page: one product,
