AuctionMethod Product Features
Auction
AuctionMethod is an all-in-one auction software designed for businesses that rely on competitive bidding. It supports timed, live, simulcast, and fixed-price formats, including Buy Now and blind bidding options. From inventory and bidder management to invoicing, payments, and reporting, everything runs through one web-based system. Catalog items in bulk or in the field using the Auctioneer Toolbox mobile app. Manage bidders with universal login, registration controls, and automated alerts. The platform supports consignors, multi-seller models, and powerful financial tools, including invoicing, credit card processing, and reporting. It's fully white-labeled and customizable, with options for both scalable SaaS (Stable Bid) and fully tailored solutions (AdaptaBid). Whether you're running a small shop or an enterprise marketplace, AuctionMethod gives you full control and reliability.
Invoice Generators
AuctionMethod includes a built-in, automated invoice generator as part of its all-in-one auction platform. Invoices are automatically created for winning bidders as soon as the auction ends and are sent via email or SMS with links to view and pay. The platform integrates with popular payment providers like Stripe, Clover, and Authorize.net, while also supporting manual payments like cash or checks. Admins can edit invoices, apply tax exemptions, and add shipping or handling fees. The system allows batch actions across invoices for efficient updates and status changes. Financial reports, including accounts receivable and tax summaries, can be exported to Excel or used for syncing with systems like QuickBooks. Item pickup tracking, buyer sign-off, and location-based reporting are also built in. With the optional Consignor Management add-on, detailed post-auction statements can be automatically generated, making reconciliation and payouts simple and accurate.
Nonprofit
AuctionMethod offers a dedicated nonprofit solution called UpliftBid, created specifically for fundraising auctions. It includes the same powerful tools as the main platform, including timed, live, and silent auction formats, bidder and consignor management, invoicing, and reporting. The system is fully white-labeled so your brand stays front and center. Nonprofits can catalog items using the mobile app, manage bidder access and qualification, and automate post-auction payments and receipts. A flat-rate pricing model means you keep more of what you raise, with no percentage-based fees. You bring your own audience and handle any local compliance needs, while AuctionMethod provides the platform. Built-in integrations with tools like Mailchimp support promotion, and the system works for one-time events or ongoing campaigns. Whether you're running a virtual gala or managing multi-vendor auctions, Uplift Bid helps nonprofits raise more with less effort.
Retail Management
AuctionMethod is a powerful, all-in-one auction software platform that also functions as a flexible retail management solution for businesses using competitive bidding. It offers full inventory control, including bulk uploads, mobile cataloging, and item-level settings like tax rules and consignor data. Sell through timed, live, or simulcast auctions, or offer fixed-price items like an online storefront. Manage bidders, track payments and pickups, and send automated communications. Built-in tools support consignors, financial reporting, and online payments with Stripe or Clover. The platform is white-labeled for your brand, scalable for businesses of any size, and hosted on reliable AWS infrastructure. Whether you're a small business or a high-volume seller, AuctionMethod helps you control your process, protect your data, and grow with confidence.

"Sunlight Chair Auction Success" Posted 2025-09-09
Pros: -Easy to use platform
-Fast and helpful support team
-Easy reports for invoicing, products, and users
-Simple payment integration with StripeCons: -Uploading individual product images takes a long time
-Simulcast audio didn't work and came with bugs during testing
-CC processing didn't go through sometimesOverall: This was probably the best platform to use for a one-off auction with over $300k worth of inventory. Daniel and his team were extremely nice and helpful, and the platform was overall easy to use and quite intuitive. Other than some issues with the Simulcast AV, I would recommend this platform to anyone looking to auction off products!

Hi Nate, Thanks for the detailed review and for giving us a 10/10 recommendation! We're glad the platform worked well for your chairlift auction and that Daniel and the team were able to help you through the process. You're absolutely right about some of those pain points - our platform is really designed for ongoing auction businesses rather than one-time events, so things like bulk image uploads and simulcast features work much better when you're running regular auctions. We appreciate you pointing that out since it helps other one-time users set expectations. Thanks again for the great feedback and for choosing AuctionMethod! -

"Great software for online auctions" Posted 2025-09-04
Pros: Web-based, white-label platform – keeps your brand front and center.
Seamless transition – customers had no issues when switching from a previous platform.
Easy website setup & customization tools – straightforward to update and manage.
User-friendly mobile cataloging app – works offline and syncs later.
Simple auction setup – templates make creating new auctions fast and efficient.
Quick auction closing & invoicing – can be done in just minutes, even remotely.
Whitelist bidder feature – ensures only approved and vetted bidders participate.
e-Sign integration – bidders must accept terms and property information before approval.
Reliable performance – no major issues since implementation.
Excellent value for cost – strong features at a competitive price.
Great fit for real estate auctions – tailored functions for vetting buyers.Cons: Customization is somewhat limited – while easy to use, advanced website design changes may require outside help.
Learning curve at first – setting up templates and workflows takes some initial time before it becomes quick and efficient.
Mobile hotspot/laptop dependence for closing – while invoicing is fast, it still requires reliable mobile internet access.
White label so if you are looking for a platform to bring you bidders. This is not what you need.Overall: We began using AuctionMethod in March 2024 after trying two other platforms, and it has been an excellent decision for our business. As a white-label, web-based software, it allowed us to seamlessly transition while keeping our brand front and center. Auction Method even set up our website, and their built-in customization tools are simple to use and quick to update. When we notified our email database of the platform change, our customers had no trouble adjusting—which speaks to how user-friendly the system is.

The mobile app for cataloging auctions has been a game-changer. It works without an internet connection, and all updates sync once service is restored. I tested this in airplane mode, and it worked flawlessly. Auction setup is straightforward, especially once templates are created, and the process of closing an auction and sending invoices is impressively fast. I’ve even handled invoicing from the tailgate of my truck using a laptop and hotspot in just minutes.
The value Auction Method delivers for its cost is outstanding. One of our most-used features is the whitelist bidder function for real estate auctions. Every bidder must request approval before bidding, and we require them to e-sign our terms and review the property information before being approved. This feature gives us complete control and peace of mind, even with past buyers.
Overall, AuctionMethod’s features and performance have been an excellent fit for our company. From ease of use to customer support and pricing, we couldn’t be more pleased with the software.Reply from AuctionMethodPosted 2025-09-05
Thank you so much for this fantastic review! We're absolutely thrilled that AuctionMethod has been such a great fit for your real estate auction business. It's wonderful to hear that the transition was smooth for your customers and that features like the mobile cataloging app and whitelist bidder function are making your life easier. The fact that you can close auctions and send invoices from your truck's tailgate really made us all smile - that's exactly the kind of flexibility we hoped to provide! :) We truly appreciate your honest feedback about the customization limitations and initial learning curve too. Your insights help us understand where we can improve, and we're always working to make the platform even better. Thanks for being part of the AuctionMethod family – we're honored to support your business and look forward to many more successful auctions together! -

"4,500 Item Auctions Weekly - Wow!" Posted 2025-08-11
Pros: We have been in business since 2012. In 2018 we began experience growing pains and our website auction software was unable to handle the amount of traffic and items we had on a weekly basis. I'm very slow for change but after our site kept crashing and we had to restart auctions I decided to reach out and find out what AuctionMethod was all about. Daniel and his team walked us thru the change of the platform. We haven't experienced any crashes of the website nor slowness on the bidding end. It was an adjustment for our staff and customers to get used to at first but I am very very thankful we did the switch. Our site was able to look the same with way more features and accessibility. We love it! Bidding is more fun than having to refresh a page constantly. We have a lot of volume of items weekly so we've pushed the software as hard as we can.
Cons: We've tweaked a lot of things with the software and the team has been very helpful. There have been rare occasions where we have declined an upgrade because of a cost. Everything is developed by the team at AuctionMethod and sometimes it's time consuming so I understand their business model.
Overall: The price and excellent service at AuctionMethod is what keeps us raving about the product. We've been using the software for going on 6 years now and look forward to continuing with the product!

"Reliable Auction Software" Edited 2025-07-21
Pros: Handles everything from creating auction listings to email reminders to invoicing in one system. We use the mobile cataloging tools all the time and it makes the whole process way smoother.
Cons: Takes some time to learn the back end. Would be nice to have a few more marketing tools built in.
Overall: AuctionMethod is a solid choice. Once you get the hang of it, it handles pretty much every part of running an online auction. Great if you want control and don’t mind a bit of a learning curve up front. Definitely worth it if you're running auctions regularly.

Hi Jotham, Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We're really glad to hear that AuctionMethod has been making the auction process smoother for you and your team, especially with daily use and mobile cataloging. It means a lot coming from someone who's been using the platform for several years. You're absolutely right about the back end taking a little time to get used to. We're working on some updates that aim to simplify things without taking away the control and flexibility power users like you appreciate. Also, your feedback on marketing tools is noted – that’s something we’ve been hearing more often, and we’re exploring ways to strengthen those capabilities without bloating the system. Thanks again for your support and for trusting us with your auctions. If there’s ever anything you need, don’t hesitate to reach out. — The AuctionMethod Team
