See exactly how Bidstrap runs your sale, end to end.
From catalogue to live saleroom, timed and Dutch sales, bidding and invoicing — here's the machinery, and the proof for each part.
The networkRoadmap
Warm buyers the network brings you.
- Problem
- Every other platform leaves a new house to find bidders from zero.
- Solution
- Bidstrap is built around a shared verified-bidder network — trust built to carry between member houses as the network grows, contact lists never.
- Proof
- One verified identity built to work across every house that joins; no cross-house bidder directory by design.
PricingLive
A price you can read without a sales call.
- Problem
- Quote-only software hides the bill.
- Solution
- £99 or a falling 1.0%→0.5% take-rate, greater-of, hammer only.
- Proof
- The live calculator, no email.
Your trade & custom fieldsLive
Software that speaks your trade — with your disclosures enforced.
- Problem
- Generic platforms have no fields for your trade and no compliance gates.
- Solution
- Several trades come set up with the right catalogue fields and go-live gates already built in. On the General pack — what an industrial or insolvency house runs on — you add the fields your trade needs yourself and gate them, so a lot can't be published until they're filled, in seconds without waiting for an update.
- Proof
- Pre-built gates where your pack ships them, plus a custom-fields settings page you control yourself — mark a field required and a lot can't be published until it's filled.
IntegrationsLive
Keep the tools you already run. Connect them. Watch them work.
- Problem
- Ripping out and replacing what already works breaks the books you keep.
- Solution
- Connect Xero, QuickBooks and your CRM by a secure feed or a spreadsheet export — your sales carry across with no double entry, nothing to rip out.
- Proof
- You see every hand-off to your books land, and resend any that doesn't — yourself, in seconds. Direct one-click Xero and CRM links are on the roadmap; today you connect them by a secure feed or a spreadsheet export and keep everything you already run.
Your own storefrontLive
A site you own — built to be found by Google and AI.
- Problem
- A panel bolted onto someone else's site sends buyers — and the search traffic — to them, not you.
- Solution
- Your own branded shopfront you own end to end.
- Proof
- Every lot carries machine-readable listing detail Google and AI assistants read, and we publish a guide telling AI assistants how to read your catalogue — both live today. A panel bolted onto someone else's site can't show you that. Being found this way is the foundation we build on, not a ranking we already claim.
The machine-readable listing detail Google and AI assistants read, on every lot — your web person can confirm it on any lot page.
Honest measurementRoadmap
Built to count a click, a watch, a bid.
- Problem
- Other platforms pad their numbers — a lot that merely scrolled past gets counted as if someone looked.
- Solution
- Bidstrap is built to count a real bidder — a click, a watch, a bid — and to leave out a lot that merely scrolled past, so it's never counted as a view.
- Proof
- This is how we've built it, not yet a live count: the approach is settled and the shopfront is built to leave out lots nobody looked at, but counting isn't switched on yet while we finish the data-protection sign-off — so there's nothing to show here today.
Your records, yours aloneLive
Your records are yours alone — never in a shared database with other houses.
- Problem
- Other platforms lump every house's records into one shared database.
- Solution
- Your house's records live in their own separate space, kept in the UK — never mixed in with other auctioneers'.
- Proof
- Every house's records sit in their own separate space and stay in the UK — not a shared database other auctioneers can touch.
