Auction Site Development
Your own auction website on your own domain, with 0% commission.
4,000+ customers across Easy.Auction and Auctify, with 0% commission
Auction site development is the work of building an auction website, either custom-coded by developers or configured on a hosted platform such as Easy.Auction. Before commissioning a custom build, note that Easy.Auction already includes absentee bidding, anti-sniping settings, reserve and Buy Now prices, a multi-seller mode and built-in PayPal, Stripe, Mollie, Square and Authorize.net payments. Its admin adds 150+ settings, configurable email templates and custom attributes per category for details specific to your items. The company behind it built e-commerce software from 2000 and moved to auction software in 2015. Easy.Auction is continued as Auctify, where a ready-made site can be tested with a 7-day free trial.
Frequently asked questions
Which auction features would a developer have to build that Easy.Auction already includes?
Easy.Auction includes absentee bidding, anti-sniping settings and configurable minimum bid increments, plus watch lists, keyword alerts, outbid emails, seller ratings, internal messaging and payment through PayPal, Stripe, Mollie, Square or Authorize.net. A custom development project would have to design, build and maintain each of these separately.
Can a hosted auction platform handle item fields specific to my business without custom code?
Yes. Easy.Auction lets the site owner define custom attributes per category, such as a yes/no field or a colour field, so niche item details are captured without development work. These attributes are configured in the admin and are not fixed built-in fields.
What does a ready-made alternative to custom auction site development cost?
Auctify, which continues Easy.Auction, costs $49 per month on Starter for 100 lots per month, $99 per month on Pro for 200 lots and $299 per month on Enterprise for unlimited lots. There is no commission on sales, and the 7-day free trial needs no credit card.
