how it works
A simple online auction process from start to finish.
BidPortal supports the practical steps auctioneers need: auction setup, lot loading, bidder control, online bidding, winners, invoices and payment follow-up.
1. Set up your auction
Create the auction, add dates, deposit requirements, buyer premium and the rules bidders need to follow.
2. Load your lots
Add lots manually or by CSV, upload images and publish a professional online catalogue.
3. Register and approve bidders
Bidders create accounts and register for the auction. You stay in control of approvals before bidding opens.
4. Run the auction online
Approved bidders place bids online while the auctioneer monitors bids, registrations and auction status.
5. Close, invoice and follow up
Declare winners, generate invoices, track payments and export reports for auction administration.
Works with your current business setup.
